Keep Your Child in an Infant Car Seat Rear Facing

The most secure way to keep your child in an infant car seat that faces rearwards is to keep them there. Children should only be moved to a forward-facing car seat when they outgrow the weight and height limits of their current seat.

Safety Benefits

Rear-facing infant car seats are the best car seats option for infants and young babies. This is because they provide support and support to their head and neck. Purva Grover MD director of the Cleveland Clinic Children's Pediatric Emergency Departments, says that because their spines are not yet fully ossed, it is crucial to keep the force of an accident away from their heads and necks. In a frontal crash, the baby's head can hit the seat infront of them. This can cause a whiplash that is extremely painful or even fatal. In a rear-facing car seat, however, the impact is absorbed and dissipated at the back of the vehicle. Adele says, "It feels like a hug." In addition the child's legs are secured into their car seat, preventing them from being thrown forward by the back of the front seat or any other surfaces in the vehicle. "This prevents them from hitting their own body, which can cause internal injuries," she explains.

Many parents are against ERF because they are afraid that their child will be bored or uncomfortable. It's not the case with my son, Lukas. He prefers sitting in the rear since the seat reclines, which allows him to read a book, or watch TV while doing it.

However, if you have a child that is resistant to being in a rear-facing car seat because of leg length or any other reason Try to convince them that it's the best way for them to travel. Explain that they can remain in their convertible or all-in-one seats in the event that they don't exceed the height or weight limits set by the seat manufacturer.

Be sure to secure your child in a rear-facing car seat using the lower anchor system of the vehicle or a seat belt. Don't allow them to wear bulky clothing, such as winter coats as they could be swollen in the event of a crash and cause the harness straps to loosen and place your child at risk for injuries. Always use the Pinch Test to ensure a tight fit.

Convenience

Many parents prefer to keep infant car seats facing rear as long as they can, because they are more user-friendly and more mobile than convertible seats. However, having your child in a rear-facing seat might mean they have to be taken out of an infant crib or bassinet during time of nap or bedtimes. This may require waking up the baby who was sleeping which isn't the best option. The safety advantages of rear-facing far outweigh this inconvenience, but.

Newborn babies and preemies are smaller than full-term newborns and therefore the headrest of their car seats is lower. This helps reduce the force of an impact and also ensures that the harness's chest clip is placed below their shoulders, not at their necks. This is important for premature infants who have bones that are weak and have not ossified after birth or pregnancy.

The rear-facing position also lets you observe your baby more clearly than the forward-facing position. This allows you to observe their behavior and make sure they are comfortable and content. The majority of infant car seats have built-in baby mirrors that can be adjusted to see your child from virtually any angle.

When your baby is outgrowing their car seat for infants or attains the weight or height limit recommended by their seat manufacturer you can move to a convertible or all-in-1 car seat that will allow them to remain rear-facing until they are at least two years old. Some rear-facing car seats have limits that are higher than rear-only car seats that allow them to be used for a longer period of time.

Convertible car seats or all-in-ones are well-known for their versatility. They can be used backward facing or forward facing and as a belt-positioning booster. They usually also come with a large base at the back of your vehicle, making them easier to install and remove. They are more expensive than the infant car seats that can be used only once, but they'll last longer and save you money over the course of time.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children ride rear-facing up to the maximum height and weight limit that are set by their car seat manufacturer and up to at minimum two years old. Many children outgrow their rear-facing infant car seat before age two however, don't be enticed to switch them around earlier. It's better to keep it in the rear for a while.

Weight Limits

You must be aware that all car seats for infants come with weight and height restrictions. Most infant car seats have a weight limit of 30 to 35 pounds and a height limit of about 30 inches, based on the model. When your child has reached the limits, it's time to move to the next level of safety. This could be a convertible car seat that can be switched between rear facing and forward facing or an all-in-one car seat that lets your kiddo ride rear facing until they reach the maximum height and weight suggested by the manufacturer.

Apart from the weight and height limit, there are also other indicators that show your child is ready for the next stage of a car seat, such as their level of comfort while sitting rear facing. You can check for these signs by observing your child's behavior and looking at other children in their car seats. You can also seek assistance from certified child passenger safety specialists at a car-seat inspection station, which is often run by local government or community groups.

It is recommended to keep your child rear-facing as long as you can. This is why a lot of parents wait until their children are fully mature before allowing them to turn around. But you can still avoid this temptation by ensuring your child's car seat is correctly installed and don't rush to switch to a forward-facing seat too soon even if they're close to the limit of weight or height of their current car seat.

If you have questions about whether your child is ready for the next stage in their car seat or you're concerned that you may not have installed the car seat correctly, reach out to a certified child passenger safety technician. They are available through local community organizations, government offices, and child passenger safety programs. You can find one close to you by looking online or by contacting your local health department or public safety agency. Mobile car seat check-in events can be held at your home or office to ensure you have the right equipment and that you are using them correctly.

Installation

Installing a car seat correctly is crucial to its effectiveness. Unfortunately, the NHTSA states that nearly half of all car seats are incorrectly installed (and this includes rear-facing). The best way to be sure that your infant car seats are correctly installed is to read through the manual, then have them professionally checked by an accredited car safety technician.

The first step when installing a rear facing infant car seat is to test the angle. Check that the base of the car seat is at a safe angle for your lightweight baby car seat's weight, which you can find on the the base of the base or in the user manual.

You should also be sure that your baby's head is in the right angle in the seat. Babies have heavy heads and soft necks, and the forward-facing position could cause pressure on their neck and spine in the event of a collision. If a rear-facing collision occurs the back of the car seat absorbs the majority of the crash force, which shields the baby's delicate neck as well as spinal cord.

Once your child has reached the weight limit or height of the infant car seat in front seat car seat it's time to change to a convertible car seat or an all-in-one car seat. These can be used in a rear-facing orientation up to the front-facing limit. If you decide to switch to a convertible or all-in-1 car seat, ensure that the new model has a higher rearward-facing limit. Older models have lower limits.

If you opt for an infant car seat that can be detached from the car, and then re-attached to a stroller, this is an ideal option for parents who need to get their infants in and out of the car frequently. It can be challenging and time-consuming to move your car seat and stroller into and out of the vehicle on a regular basis, especially when you have a baby seat. This is a great option for a lot of families who are willing to invest the time to do it right every time. Make sure you think ahead and pick a date when you have plenty of time to spare.
