Rear Facing Infant Car Seat

A rear-facing infant car seat absorbs the force of a collision in a crash and shields your child's head and neck. In the event of a crash, they also protect your child's legs hitting the front of the car seat. This could cause serious injuries or even death.

All infants and toddlers should be rear-facing until they reach the height or weight limit of the car seat's manufacturer. This includes both convertible seats as well as dedicated infant car seats.

Rear-facing infant car seats are specially designed for babies and infants who are smaller.

A rear facing infant car seat is a particular type of child car seat for newborn seat that only has a rear-facing position. These seats are designed for newborns and smaller babies generally up to 35 pounds. The seat's base is narrower than that of other car seats. They are ideal for cars with small spaces and can make it easier to store them on the back of the car. Most infant car seats can be converted into strollers, making traveling with a child much easier.

Rear-facing infant car seats are also recommended for babies and preemies born before 37 weeks gestation. They provide more space and more comfort than standard car seats, which can be difficult for a small baby to get into and out of. The infant car seat gives more head and cervical support than a car seat that is forward-facing. This can to protect infants and small babies in the event of a crash.

The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that children remain in the rear until they reach their maximum weight and height for the car seat, or when they are around two years old. This is due to the fact that there is more time for the spine of the child to develop strength in this position, which could prevent spinal injuries. It is important to keep in mind that infants and children are more prone to suffer severe injuries when they are facing forward.

In the event of an accident the rear-facing seat absorbs the majority of the impact, protecting the baby's head, neck and spine. When a child sits in a seat that is facing forward, their heads can be dropped into the console or dashboard of the vehicle, causing serious injuries.

Many parents think that their child is ready to get a booster seat or a seat facing forward at the age of two. This is a huge error. Recent studies published in BMJ injury prevention have shown that it is better for children to be rear-facing in their car seats until they reach the age of three or four. The longer a child remains rear-facing, the more their cervical vertebrae will grow and develop ossification.

Installation and removal is easy.

Most rear facing infant carrier seat car seats have a snap-on base which is fitted into your car and can be easily removed when no longer needed. This feature is practical and allows parents to ensure their child is in the seat without having to get out of the vehicle, particularly during bad weather or at nights when it may be more difficult. It also makes it easy to change cars and give grandparents and other caregivers access to the child's seat.

When your child is outgrowing their car seat for infants in height and weight then it's time to move to a convertible or booster. However, it's important to keep in mind that children are safer when they're in a rear-facing car seat for as long as is possible. In fact, it is advised by a number of safety experts that children ride rear-facing until they reach their second birthday or at the weight and height limit set by the car seat manufacturer.

In a frontal collision infants in a rear-facing car seat absorbs the majority of the impact force by absorbing it at the head, neck and the spine. When a child is rear-facing in a car seat the force of crashing may cause their head to be thrown forward, which can cause serious injury or death.

If you are worried about your child's safety when rear-facing, keep them warm by wrapping them in a blanket. Avoid placing a blanket that is loose behind or underneath them. Be cautious when dressing them in bulky clothes which could hinder the tightness of the harness. Lastly, make sure that the chest clip sits flat against their shoulder and the harness straps are secure with no looseness.

Many child safety experts believe that rear-facing car seats protect children five times more in the event of a crash, when they are riding for longer. In a crash head-on, children's heads - which are disproportionately larger than their bodies – can be thrown around with force that is not absorbed by their necks and torsos. With rear-facing seats the head of a child is protected by the headrest of the seat and cradled by their backs during a crash, protecting them from the most significant injuries.

They guard the neck and head of your child.

If a child is in a rear-facing car seat, their neck and spinal cord are cradled against the back of the safety seat in the event of a collision. This is vital because in a frontal collision (the most frequent kind of car accident) infants who are facing forward in cars are thrown from the dashboard, which could result in neck injuries and possibly death. Infants in rear-facing seats are cradled by the rear of their car seat and their heads are padded and supported by the headrest.

Infants can also breathe much easier when they are in a rear-facing car seat, as their chin is pushed against their chest. In forward-facing car seats the chin can be pushed down and it can be difficult for children to breathe. Kids who doze off in front-facing cars are 75% more likely than those who sleep in a rear-facing seat to sustain injuries to their heads.

Another important factor to consider is that a baby's spine and brain are developing, making them more susceptible in the case of an accident. If a crash occurs with a front-facing view, the head of an infant could strike the dashboard or buckle of the seat belt and it could stretch their spinal cord, causing serious injury or death. This is why it's important to keep your child in a rear-facing car seat as long as you can, up to the point that they reach the weight and height limits of their infant car seat.

Some infant car seats have an insert specifically designed to in supporting the head of a child. It can be removed when the child has outgrown it. In addition, a lot of car seats come with load leg or anti-rebound bar features that can help absorb the energy of an accident. This is important as it reduces impact on your child and may even prevent him from being ejected.

The recommendation from NHTSA is to keep your child in an infant car seat that faces rearwards until they reach the height and weight limit for their specific car seat. After that, they can move to an all-in-one or convertible car seat. These seats can be used rear-facing and then changed to forward-facing once they reach a certain age.

They are easy to clean.

Whether you buy an infant car seat that connects to a base inside your vehicle, or a convertible or all-in one car seat, they're all designed to be easy and quick removal. They are often able to be plugged directly into travel systems or strollers to run errands while on the move. These seats are easy to clean. A lot of seats have covers that can be removed and parts that are removable, which can be cleaned and dried in the washing machine. This is important, especially if you have children who can be messy.

In the event of an accident the position of the rear will protect the child's neck and head. This is especially important for young children. Their heads are full of cartilage, and their spinal cords are more flexible than adults. During a collision, their head may snap backward and stretch their spinal cords, possibly resulting in severe injuries. This is why many car safety experts suggest keeping children rear-facing for as long as they can.

Although it's tempting to move your child into booster seats when they're ready, every front-facing car seat switch reduces the amount of protection they'll have in a crash. In a frontal crash the child's head could be dropped to the side and could possibly strike the dashboard or plastic shell. This increases the chance of injury. Ideally, kids should ride rear-facing until they have reached the maximum weight for rear-facing or height limit of their seat, or until they turn 2 years old.

If you're unsure if your child should be transitioning out of the rear-facing seat, contact a CPST certified local to your area for advice. They can assist you in determining the appropriate age for your child to turn around, as well as ensure that they're properly and safely in their car seat.

Many parents believe that their child is no longer a baby car seat when they reach their maximum rear-facing weight limit or height.
