Car Seats By Age, Https://Malone-Dunn.Federatedjournals.Com/,

Each car seat is designed to be suitable for a particular age group. Children should use their car seat until they are at the limit of the manufacturer's weight or height. Then, they are able to use a booster until the vehicle belts fit correctly, usually when they are between 10 and 12 years old or 4 feet 9 inches tall.

When shopping for a new car seat, take into consideration features such as fabric that is resistant to staining, pieces that are removable and can be machine washed, and equipment that is easy to clean.

Rear-facing

Rear-facing car seats cradle infants and toddlers to protect their spines and necks from injuries in a crash. They are also safer, as they disperse the force of an impact over a larger area. This reduces the risk of the chance of injury to the spinal cord.

Parents are often enticed by the thought of moving their children to a forward-facing seat before they're ready. However, the American Academy of Pediatrics advises to keep them rear-facing as long as you can. That means moving them to a forward-facing seat after they've reached the maximum weight or height limit of their current seat, as stated by the manufacturer.

Children's heads are large relative to their bodies, and are developing, making them more vulnerable to crash. In fact children's heads can generate up to 25 times the force of their bodyweight in the event of a collision. This is more than enough to cause fatal injury. This is why children who ride in a car seat that is facing forward are at the greatest danger of suffering fatal head injuries.

Many parents believe that their children have bigger necks and are able to make the transition to a car seat facing forward earlier. However, it's important to keep in mind that a child who is in the 95th percentile isn't as strong as 5th percentile kids and no amount of push-ups for teens will change the fact that. In the event of a car accident a bigger kid's head is more likely to be hit with greater force, which can cause spinal cord and brain injuries.

When your child has outgrown their infant car seat, you can convert them into a convertible car seat that lets them stay facing the rear until they reach the maximum height or weight limit. Generally, children will be the first to reach their height limit, so it's important to pay close attention to the instructions provided by the manufacturer of your car seat on when to switch to forward-facing mode.

If your child is at the limit of weight or height of their convertible car seat, it's time to get them into a booster seat. Most booster seats have an integrated angle indicator that will inform you whether the seat is installed and ready to change to forward-facing mode. It is best to use a booster seat in the back seat of your vehicle, and only with a lap belt (never a shoulder belt) to ensure the most secure protection for your child in the event of a crash.

Forward-facing

Many parents are enticed by the idea of change their children's car seats around as they grow older, because it is more convenient. However, they must remember, that rear-facing is an option that is safer for children.

In a crash with the baby facing toward the rear, the neck is at risk. The head can be placed against the seat and cause permanent damage to the spine. Whiplash can happen even if the neck muscles of the child are strong. This is especially applicable to children who are smaller such as infants who are less than one year old.

A child facing forward is more likely to hit his head on the dashboard or even a window, in an accident. Depending on the nature of the crash and speed at which the car is moving the head may be pushed into the seat and break the skull or the spinal cord.

The current safety standards require that kids remain rear-facing until they attain 20 pounds and one year of age. This is because younger kids don't have the neck strength to withstand the force in a head-on collision which tends to be the most severe kind of accident in which automobiles are involved.

Using a harness and tether when facing rear helps keep the kid's head stable and reduces the stress on their necks. A child facing the rear will be less likely to suffer head injuries as the impact is cushioned by their seat.

When you have a child who is less than one year old and in a convertible car seat or all-in-one seat that can switch from rear to forward-facing be sure to follow the instructions of the manufacturer about when it is safe for your child to look towards the front. The manufacturer's guidelines will tell whether or not a tether is needed and what the maximum weight and height requirements are for the particular seat.

When your child is past the rear-facing car seat limit you can allow them to travel in a forward-facing seat using a harness and tether until they reach the top weight or height limit set by their car seat's manufacturer. Once they've outgrown it, you can now take them on a trip with a booster.

Booster seat

There is no age or height limit at which children are safe from using booster seats. The booster seat should be used until the child's vehicle belt fits properly. This could occur anytime between 8 and 13 years old.

A booster raises a child's height so that they are able to sit upright in the car. The shoulder portion of a belt is also positioned so that it is close to the chest, but not above. The lap portion of the belt must rest on the thighs, not the stomach. Booster seats have a belt guide that helps to ensure the belt is properly placed.

Booster seats can be purchased with or without a backrest. The most commonly used booster seat is the high-back that offers neck and head support for children. This is a good option for vehicles that have low backs and no headrests. Backless boosters are less expensive however they don't offer head or neck support. Some all-in one boosters allow you to switch between boost and harness modes. They are suitable for children up to 65 pounds in harness mode and up to 100 pounds when used as a booster.

Some boosters have a lower anchors (LATCH) system that connects onto the vehicle's lower anchors, and a tether when one is available. Some require the car seat belt to keep them in their place. You can check your vehicle's owner's manual to determine if can use the lower anchors. Also, read the instructions for the booster seat to understand how to use it.

Some parents may be enticed to move their 30-pound 3-year-old child into a booster car seat due to the fact that the child is getting too tall to fit into a harness seat. However, rushing to "graduate" your child out of the harness can be dangerous. If the belt is too loose children could be severely injured or even killed in a collision.

Back seat

All children should sit in the back of a vehicle for as long as they can with a child safety seat or booster seat that has been properly installed. Children who are too big for a rear-facing car seat or have outgrown its height and weight limits should transition to a forward-facing child restraint with an appropriate harness until they're tall for this type of seat.

After your baby has outgrown the infant car seat newborn car seat, you can switch them to a convertible car seat or all-in one car seat with a rear-facing option. These seats can typically be used up to two years or until your child is over the seat's maximum height and weight limit. If you have a vehicle with a middle seat, install the car safety seat so that it is securely secured in this position using the lower anchor system or seat belt.

When your child outgrows their rear-facing car seat, they can be placed in a front-facing child restraint equipped with a harness and tether. Typically, these seats can be used until 57 inches tall or until your child is at the height and weight recommendations of the seat. You can determine how tall and heavy the car seat for newborn seat is by reading the directions of the manufacturer or by examining the tag that is attached to the seat.

All children older than 5 years old should be in the booster seat or on a lap belt in the vehicle as much as possible. If not, they should use a back restraint in the middle of the back seat. Also, they should not sit in front when the airbag is in use. Sitting children in the front seats can increase the chance of injury in an accident because the force of impact is greater on their smaller bodies.

You can bring your child to an inspection station or a newborn car seat seat clinic for assistance in choosing and installing the right child safety seat. You can also find out if your child's seat has been recalled due to safety concerns or other flaws. You can then purchase one that's compatible with your car and your child's size. If you can't try out a seat, check to whether it has a refund policy.
