Why You Should Consider a Forward Facing Infant Car Seat

Children under the age of one year shouldn't ride facing in the direction of forward. In the event of a crash, their neck muscles that are weak could be stretched and cause serious injuries.

Instead change to FF when your child reaches the height or weight maximums of their current seat (or the minimums for the new seat). Follow the directions for your car seat carefully.

Safety

In the case of a collision, portable infant car seat car seats are designed to protect your child's head and neck. The forward-facing position can also prevent your child from hitting their head on the back of the car seat which could cause serious injuries.

All forward-facing infant carrier seat seats feature five-point harnesses, which secure the child by simply pulling the straps. The shell of the car seat is lined with energy-absorbing foam EPS to offer better protection from impact. Some have a canopy that provides shade from the sun.

The most effective infant car seats have an adjustable angle adjuster and an angle indicator. This lets you choose the ideal angle for your child's neck in order to avoid it falling over in collisions. The top tether strap is connected to the tether anchor on the vehicle and comes from the top. Be aware that you might not have to switch your child to a forward facing car seat until she reaches the maximum weight and height listed in the manual of the seat.

When your child reaches 20 lbs and one year is the right time to change. Infants and toddlers younger that one year have soft, loose muscles in their necks that can cause whiplash if they are involved in an accident. In frontal collisions (the most severe and common kind), they are more likely to sustain serious neck injuries. When kids under 1 year ride in a rear-facing car seat their heads are cushioned by the car seat and shielded from sudden movements that could stress their necks.

When children move to a forward facing car seat, they require a convertible or an all-in-one that has a high rearward weight limit and a high. They should not be moved to a booster seat until they meet the high back or backless booster age and height requirements for the seat typically about age 4 or 5. These crash videos will show you the differences between carseats. But remember, the footage has been slowed. If a child is moving too quickly, they can be injured.

Comfort

A forward-facing infant car seat allows your infant to enjoy a comfortable ride and remain safe during an accident. The seat features a soft headrest and body support cushion as well as an EPS energy-absorbing shell to shield your child from the impacts. The seat has a five-point safety harness which can be tightened with a single pull and a center front adjuster. This will ensure your child is properly positioned. A retractable canopy shields your child from direct sunlight. The seat can be locked to the vehicle seat belt to ensure safety. It also comes with an locking clip that keeps the buckle secure even when the seat isn't in use.

If your child complains of discomfort or appears to be slouching forward during sleep It could be due to the angle of the car seat is too low. You can correct this by placing tightly rolled towels underneath the front of the car seat to raise it higher. If this still doesn't help then you can bring your child to Rockridge Kids to have us assess the angle of their car seat.

It is crucial to remember that children are not ready to face forward until they are at least 20 pounds AND one year old (their necks are not strong enough to withstand the force applied to them in a crash if they were to fall forward on their own). Some experts suggest taking longer to wait because the muscles and bones of children are more flexible.

Many parents opt to purchase a convertible car seat which allows their infants to travel in a rear-facing position until they reach the maximum weight or height limit of the seat. This lets parents enjoy the benefits of a rear-facing seat for a longer period of time. It also makes it easier for them because they can easily switch their child's position from rear-facing to forward-facing as the child grows out of it.

The Graco 4Ever Convertible Car Seat offers your child 10 years of car seat use with only one seat, from rear-facing infant (4-40 lb) to forward-facing 5-point harness and high back booster (30-100 lb) to backless belt-positioning booster (40-120 lb). The Smart Fit system makes it easy to put in. You can move the headrest and harness together without having to re-thread.

Convenience

A forward facing infant car seat is a fantastic option when you're traveling with a young child. It allows you to watch your child as you drive and the rest of your family members can enter the car without disrupting your baby car seat or toddler. The car seat can be used in conjunction with strollers which makes it easier to get your child into and out of the car while you are at the grocery store or doing other errands.

But remember, even the time your child is old enough to switch to a forward-facing car seat it's safer to keep them rear-facing for the longest time possible. If you view it from the standpoint of crash tests, a child's head is safer in a frontal collision when they are facing backwards. This is because the entire body -- head as well as neck and torso is held by the car seat's back when they face in this direction.

You'll want to check the instructions of the manufacturer to determine when you can change your child's car seat around. They usually have the weight and height limit you shouldn't go over as well as specific rules for things like crotch buckle position. These rules are designed to protect your child's health as they grow.

You should also think about whether your vehicle has anchors for tethers. If yes, ensure that the tether is installed and tied to the anchor points on your vehicle according to the directions in the manual. The last thing to do is make sure that the shoulder straps of the harness of your child are at or just below their shoulders, and not too high or low. This will affect how they are secured during the event of a crash.

A convertible car seat is a great option for parents who have multiple children or who plan to have more children. It's a convertible car seat that can be used as an infant rear-facing car seat and then converted to a forward facing seat when your child reaches the height or weight limits of the rear-facing position.

Style

You've put in a lot of time and effort choosing the right car seat for your child. But as they get older and start outgrowing their infant car seat, you might be wondering when it's time to flip them around.

While the idea of facing your child forward is thrilling, there are a few important safety considerations to keep in mind. Children should remain rear-facing until they reach the weight limit of their car seat and height limitations.

Be aware that children are very different in size and age, therefore you shouldn't base on when you should switch to forward-facing on some specific date on the calendar or if they've reached their legroom limit. It might appear that a child is taller in a rear-facing car seat, however this doesn't mean that it's safe to turn them around. Their bones and spine aren't fully developed.

Some infant car seats come with an alarm that reminds you to keep your child facing rear until they're at least one year old. This is because children younger than one don't have enough neck muscles to be able to withstand a collision with a frontal force, which could result in serious spinal injuries.

Many infant car seats aren't just safe, but they are also simple to use. Some include bases that snap in and out of the car, allowing you to carry your baby from the car to a stroller, and back. They are often part a travel system.

If you're ready to move your child to forward-facing convertible car seats, be sure to do so correctly by following all the instructions of the manufacturer and checking the car seat for tightness. The car seat shouldn't move more than an inch from side to side, or from front to back, when properly installed. The harness straps must also be at or above the shoulders of your child. If you have any concerns or questions ask a certified car seat safety technician in your region or contact the manufacturer of your car seat.
