Rear Facing Infant Car Seat

In a crash, a rear-facing infant car seat absorbs the force of the impact and protects your child's neck and head. In a crash they also protect your child's legs from hitting the front of the car seat. This can cause serious injuries or even death.

All infants and toddlers must be rear-facing when they reach the maximum weight or height of the car seat manufacturer. This includes infant car seats and convertible seats.

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

A rear-facing infant car seat is a type of child seat that is only rearward-facing position. These seats are designed to accommodate infants and small children usually up to 35 pounds. The seat's base is narrower than other car seats. They are perfect for cars with small trunks and help to save space on the back of the seat. In addition, many infant car seat newborn car seats can be snipped into strollers to make traveling with a baby much easier.

Rear facing infant car seats are recommended for babies and preemies born before 37 weeks gestation. They are bigger and better fitted than standard car seats that are difficult to get into and out of for very tiny babies. The infant car seat provides greater neck and head support than a rear-facing car seat, which could aid in protecting preemies and infants from injuries in a crash.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children remain rear facing until they attain the maximum height and weight for their car seat, which is about two years old. This is due to the fact that rear-facing provides more time for the spine of the child to develop strength in this position, which may prevent spinal injuries. Additionally, it is important to remember that children who are infants or younger are more prone to suffering severe injuries in front-facing crashes.

In the case of a crash the rear-facing infant seat absorbs most of the force generated by the collision and protects the infant's head, neck and spine. If a child is sitting in a seat that faces forward, their heads can be placed in the dashboard or console of the vehicle, which can cause serious injury.

Many parents believe that their child is ready to get an adult booster seat or a forward-facing one around the age of two. This is a huge mistake. It is safer for kids to stay rear facing in their car seat until they reach three or four years old, as per recent studies published in BMJ Injury Prevention. The longer a child stays rear-facing, the more cervical vertebrae grow and become ossified.

Installing and removing them is easy.

The majority of rear-facing infant car seats come with a snap-on base which is placed in your vehicle and is easily removed when not needed. This feature is practical and allows parents to ensure their child is in the seat without needing to leave the vehicle, particularly during stormy weather or at night when it may be more difficult. It is also easy to switch between cars and give parents or other caregivers access the child's car seat.

Once your child has outgrown their infant car seat in terms of weight or height, it is time to upgrade to a convertible or booster. It is important to keep in mind that children are safer when they ride rear-facing as long as they can. In fact, it is advised by a number of safety experts to have children ride rear-facing until their two years old or until they reach the maximum height and weight limit of the car seat manufacturer.

In a frontal crash infants in a rear-facing car seat absorbs the majority of the impact force taking it in at the neck, head and the spine. In contrast, when the child is facing forward, their head is thrown forward due to the force of the crash and can stretch their spinal cord, causing serious injury or death.

If you are worried about your child's comfort facing backwards, keep them warm by wrapping them in a blanket. Avoid placing a blanket on top of or underneath them. Also, be cautious about dressing them in bulky outerwear that might interfere with the tightness of the harness. Also, ensure that the chest clip sits flat against their shoulders and the harness straps are snug with no slack.

Many child safety experts believe that rear-facing car seats will protect children five times more in the event of a crash in the event that they sit for a longer period of time. In a crash head injuries to children's heads - which are disproportionately larger than their bodies – can be thrown around with force that isn't absorbed by their necks and their torsos. Seats that face the rear provide cushioning for the head of the child and protect them from serious injuries.

They are designed to protect your child's neck and head.

In the case of an accident the neck and spinal cord of a child sitting in a rear facing car seat is cradled by the back of the seat. This is important because in a frontal crash (the most common type of car accident), babies in forward-facing cars are thrown from the dashboard, which could result in neck injuries and possibly death. Infants in rear-facing seats are held by the back of their car seat, and their heads are supported and cushioned by the headrest.

Infants also have a much easier time breathing when they are placed in a rear-facing seat as their chins are raised against their chest. When children are in forward-facing car seats their chins are often pulled down, which can block their airway and make it difficult for them to breathe. In fact, children who sleep in a car seat that is forward-facing are 75% more likely suffer head injuries than those who lie down in a rear-facing car seat.

Another important factor to consider is that the brain and spine are still developing, making them more prone to injury in the event of a crash. 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 and cause serious injury or even death. It is essential to ensure that your child is in a rear-facing car seat until they reach the weight and height limit of their car seat.

Some infant car seats come with an insert specifically designed to support the head of the infant. It can be removed when the child is no longer using it. Many car seats also have anti-rebound bars or load leg features that absorb energy of a crash. This is crucial since it helps reduce the impact on your child, and could even stop him from being ejected.

NHTSA recommends that you keep your child in the rear-facing infant seat until they reach the weight and height limit of their car seat. When they do then, they should move to convertible car seats or an all-in-one car seat which can be used with rear-facing and later converted to forward-facing as they increase in height.

Rugs are easy to clean.

If you purchase an infant car seat that is attached to a base in your vehicle or a convertible or all-in-one car seat that are all designed to be quick and easy to remove. They are often able to be plugged directly into travel systems or strollers to run errands while on the move. These seats are also very easy to clean. Many seats have removable covers and parts that are removable, which can be washed and dried in the washing machine. This is especially important because children are messy!

In the case of an accident, the position that is facing back will support a child's neck and head. This is especially important for young children. Their heads and spinal cords are more flexible, and they also have lots of cartilage. In the event of a collision, their head may move backwards and stretch their spinal cords, causing serious injuries. This is one reason why many auto safety experts recommend keeping kids rear-facing as long as possible.

While it's tempting to transition your child to booster seats when they seem ready, each front-facing car seat switch reduces the amount of protection they'll receive in the event of a crash. In a frontal collision, the child's head would be dropped to the side and could possibly strike the plastic shell or dashboard. This increases the risk of injury. Idealy, children should ride rearwards until they reach the weight limit of their rear-facing seat or maximum height or up to 2 years old.

If you're not sure whether your child is moving out of a rear-facing seat, ask an CPST certified local to your area for assistance. They can help you determine the time when your child is ready to change seats and ensure that they are safe in their car seat.

Many parents mistakenly believe that their child has outgrown their car seat when they reach the maximum rear-facing height or weight limit. However there are a variety of things to take into consideration such as the size of your vehicle and child's unique body shape. A lot of infant car seats have built-in indicators that will let you know when your child's neck is no more over the top of the seat. For more information about safe recline, consult your car seat manual and the owner's manual for your vehicle.
