Car Seat Inserts For Newborns

Most infant and convertible car seat inserts are provided to help the baby sit better in the car and feel more comfortable. Inserts can be removed when the child reaches the weight limit stated in the instruction manual for the car seat.

Always use the inserts included with your car seat--anything else is risky and could cause your baby to be squished or have harness straps that aren't the proper level.

Encourage your baby's sitting posture

A car seat insert allows your infant to sit higher in the seat. This allows you to fasten the harness straps correctly and securely, and it also prevents slouching that can put your baby at risk of injury in the event of collision. The padding helps lift your child up and shortens the distance between their bottom and the bottom set of harness strap slots, ensuring they're secure in the car seat that faces rearwards and that their head isn't too close to the strap around their crotch (which can restrict airflow).

If you have a convertible seat, you can remove the infant insert once your child reaches an appropriate weight or height limit. This is usually around five to six months of age. Be sure to read the manual for instructions regarding this, and make sure the harness straps for your child are still level with or below their shoulders - they may need to be re-adjusted after you have removed the infant car seat newborn insert.

Some head supports for car seats - and even some that come with the infant seats themselves - can actually cause your child's head to move forward, which could limit their airway and put their safety in danger. So, ensure that you always check the car seat manual and the manufacturer's website for guidelines on when and how to use these kinds of head supports.

Use only the insert that came along with your child's seat. Never use a makeshift solution, like an old burp cloth or rolled up blanket on top of their head. Every car seat and its components are rigorously tested to function as a unit and using any other insert can disrupt this process and jeopardize your child's safety.

The most secure way to ensure that your baby is comfortable in their car seat is using the "pinch test" and you should not be able to pinch any slack between your finger and the harness at their shoulder. If you are unsure then contact a Child Passenger Security Technician or the customer service number of the manufacturer of your car seat.

Supports for your baby's neck and head

A newborn insert is made to support your baby's neck as well as head. This is due to the fact that infants aren't yet able to develop the muscles that allow them to lift their heads on their own. Newborn car seat inserts lift your baby's head so that they can reach the smallest set of shoulder strap slots and they also assist in keep their head from sliding forward (which could block their airways).

Some infant seats have newborn inserts. Other companies also sell head supports designed for use in car seat for newborn seat. Before you add any padding to your child's car seat consult the instructions of the manufacturer to ensure that you are using the newborn insert or the head support in a safe manner.

The infant inserts and head supports included in many car seats are specifically designed to provide the extra padding needed for newborns and smaller babies. This could be a pair of separate items to provide more flexibility, or a single piece with a more streamlined support.

If you choose to use an infant head support or insert, bear in mind that your child will likely outgrow it before reaching the maximum weight and size for their car seat. Don't use burp cloths as makeshift car seat inserts for newborns because they could interfere with the proper positioning of the neck and head of the infant which could put them at risk for injury in the event of a crash.

Many parents believe that the head support pillows included in some infant seats or sold separately will aid their newborn to stay safe in a crash by helping to prevent a chin-to chest position. This is not true. Research shows that the addition of an insert or head support to your infant's car seat can cause the head to sag forward, placing it in an unsafe position. Additionally the use of a soft object such as a rolled receiving blanket or a burp cloth in place of the newborn car seat insert could void your infant seat's warranty.

Keeps the baby's head in a natural position

If you've ever held a baby you're aware that they require additional head support to keep their tiny heads up. This is why infant car seats are with a padded infant insert that allows your baby to sit in a safe position. The newborn inserts are small pillows that fit in the seat to provide a comfortable seat for your baby. This is crucial, particularly when you travel for long distances. It will help your baby sleep and stay awake during the journey.

The newborn insert will also ensure that your baby's head is set in a natural and healthy way. This is particularly important in rear facing infant car seat-facing cars, where the infant's head can become obstructed if it slumps forward. The insert raises the child's body, allowing them reach the shoulder strap slots. It also pushes the head back to reduce the chance of getting choked. It's important to note that you should always consult the car seat's manual for specific instructions on how to remove the infant insert in order to stipulate an age limit or weight limit.

As your child grows, the insert for car seats for newborns will naturally become too small. They'll get taller and build up the strength and muscle to hold their heads up without the aid of a seat insert. This is the time to think about taking the padding off the seat.

It is essential to examine the harness before removing the infant insert from the car of your baby. You can test this by pinch testing using your finger between the shoulder straps and the chest of your baby. If the gap is big or there's plenty of slack, you must put the infant insert back in.

There are many different car seat inserts available on the market for your baby. However, it is best to use the one provided by the manufacturer of your car seat. This is because they're designed specifically for your baby's specific car seat and will be most effective in making sure they're safe during travel.

Keeps your baby comfortable

The insert for newborns is an infant car seat accessory that keeps babies at ease and secure. It's an extra layer of padding that raises your child to ensure that harness straps can reach their shoulders or are below (if they're in a rear facing car seat). Your child may not be able to sit up high enough so that their harness can be adjusted appropriately without the insert.

A newborn insert is also a good idea because it increases the likelihood that your baby's head will remain in the crotch strap position (to keep their chin from their chests). Many parents believe that the pillow-like insert included with certain car seats or the receiving blanket that is rolled up or burpcloth that they place alongside their child's face will protect the baby's brain during the event of a crash. These additional padding pieces, however, can actually make the chin to chest positioning worse as they compress during an accident.

Newborn car seat accessories are an excellent way to keep your baby comfy when driving and are easy to use too. They're typically a piece of foam or cloth that is inserted under the car seat to lift up the bottom of the seat. Some include a head hugger and a cushion that sit under the child to raise them up, while others are merely a head hugger on its own.

Inserts for newborn car seats can be removed once the baby is old enough to be able to fit without them, and most manufacturers have the weight or height guidelines for this. Always follow the instructions in your car seat manual for this information.

It is best to talk to an expert if you're uncertain whether your baby is ready to quit using the newborn car seat insert. A CPST can provide helpful advice to ensure that you're using your baby's car seat correctly, so they'll be as safe as possible.
