Increase your baby's sit-up posture

A car seat insert lets your baby to sit higher in the seat. This allows you to fasten the harness straps correctly and securely and also stops slouching that can put your baby at risk of injury in the event of a crash.

It ensures they are secure in a rear-facing car and their head is not too close to the crotch (which could hinder airflow).

If you have a convertible seat you can take out the infant insert once your child has reached a certain weight or height limit. This usually occurs between five to six months old. Go through the manual to determine if there are any instructions. Also, ensure that the harness straps of your child are in line or below their shoulders. They might need to be adjusted after removing the insert.

Certain headrests for car seats - and even some that are included with infant seats themselves - can actually push your child's head forward, which could impede their airway, and could put their safety at risk. So, ensure that you always read the manual for your car seat and the website of the manufacturer for guidelines on when and what to do with these types of head supports.

Remember, the safest way to ensure that your baby is snugly seated in their seat is by using the "pinch test": you must not squeeze any slack between your finger and the harness on their shoulder.
