Types of Baby Car Seats
There are three types of baby car seats that every new parent should begin to research. Below, you will find the major differences between these models.
Every year, car crashes kill hundreds of infants. While some of these collisions are unavoidable, most of them could have been prevented. The problem isn’t so much the types of baby car seats out there as it is that most parents do not install their seats properly. Make sure that you read all of the instructions prior to placing any seat in your car, and if you are not sure take your seat to a local fire station where they will install it for you. Now, let’s talk about the major differences between each model.
The three sorts are: infant seats, convertible seats, and booster seats. To begin, let’s start with the infant seat. Infant seats are made for children under one year old. Since these children do not have neck and shoulder muscles that are developed, they cannot hold up their own heads. These devices are built to support an infant until they are about one year old. Once your child has reached the one year mark, you will have to switch to a convertible seat.
Convertible seats face either frontwards or backwards and they tend to have a five point harness attached to them. It is important to note that the seat should always be placed backwards until a child is around twelve months old, or until a child can hold up their head on their own. This type of seat can be used until the child reaches four years of age. Lastly, a booster seat is designed to accommodate a child up to eight years of age. A few years ago, boosters were never used, but studies have shown that children up to the age of eight can be in harm’s way if they use a regular seatbelt. Now that you know about the types of baby car seats, you can select the one that will work for your child.

Remember to place your child in the right kind of seat. It never benefits a child to be place in a seat that was not meant to hold them. Also, keep your child facing the back of the car until they are old enough to hold up their own head. Finally, do not allow your toddler to sit in the front sit with a seatbelt. Instead, always use a booster seat.
The types of baby car seats are really not that confusing once you begin to understand them. All you really have to do is pay attention to the manufacturer’s instructions, learn the major differences, have it installed properly, and make sure your child is secure at all times.
