Keep your child in a car seat that is rear facing is the safest option. Children should only be switched to an forward-facing car seat when they reach the height and weight limits of their current car seat.

Safety Benefits

Using an infant car seat rear facing is the safest option for infants and newborns because of the way it supports and cradles their neck and head. "Since their spines haven't been ossified, it's crucial to keep the force of a crash off their heads and necks," explains Purva Grover, MD, director of Cleveland Clinic Children's Pediatric Emergency Departments. In a frontal crash the Baby Car seat's head could hit the seat in front of them, causing a whiplash effect that can be fatal or even fatal. In a rear-facing car seat, the impact is absorbed and absorbed in the back of the car. "It's like a hug," says Adele. The legs of the child can be secured into the car seat to keep them from being thrown against the back of the front seat or any other surface in the vehicle. "This keeps them from colliding with the inside of their own bodies, which causes internal injuries," she explains.

Many parents are against ERF because they fear that their child will become bored or uncomfortable. Neither has been true for my son, Lukas. In fact, he prefers to ride backwards because the recline feature allows him to stretch his legs while reading a book or watch TV.

If you have a child who is reluctant to be rear-facing because of their length of legs or other reasons convince them that this is the most secure option. Explain that they can remain in their convertible or all-in-one car seats in the event that they don't exceed the height or weight limits set by the seat manufacturer.

Be sure to lock your child in a rear-facing seat using the lower anchor system of the vehicle or a seat belt. Don't allow them to wear bulky clothes, such as winter coats, as these could be swollen during a crash, causing the straps of the harness to become loose, putting your child at risk for injuries. Make sure to use the Pinch Test when fitting your child's harness.

Convenience

Many parents prefer to keep infant car seats facing rear as long as possible because they are less cumbersome and more mobile than convertible car seats. However keeping your child in a rear-facing seat may mean they have to be taken out of an infant car seat in front seat crib or bassinet during times of nap or at time of bed. This could result in waking the child who is sleeping, which is not ideal. However, the security advantages of rear facing are greater than any discomfort.

Preemies and newborn babies are smaller than full-term newborns and therefore the headrest of their car seat is lower. This reduces the impact of an accident. It also ensures that the chest clip on the harness is at the shoulders, not at the neck. This is important for premature infants who have bones that are weak and have not been ossified since birth or pregnancy.

In addition the rear-facing position offers a much better view of your child than facing forward. This allows you to monitor their behavior and make sure they are happy and comfortable. Most baby car seats have a built-in baby mirror that can be adjusted to see your child from nearly any angle.

You can use a convertible car seat or an all-in-one car seat to keep your child rear-facing until they reach the recommended weight or height limit. Some have even higher rear-facing limits than rear-only cars, meaning they can be used longer.

Convertible car seats or all-in-ones are known for their flexibility. They can be used in forward-facing, rear-facing or as a belt positioning booster. They are also easier to set up and take down because they are built with a large base at the back of your vehicle. They are more expensive than single-use infant car seats but they last much longer than a standard infant seat and will save you money in the long run.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children ride rear-facing to the maximum height and weight limit allowed by the manufacturer of their car seat or until they reach at minimum two years old. It is common for children to outgrow their rear facing infant car seat by the time they reach the age of two. But, it's always better to wait.

Weight Limits

All baby car seats have weight and height limits that you have to keep in mind. Most infant car seats have a maximum weight limit of 30 to 35 lbs and the height limit is around 30 inches, depending on the model. When your child reaches the limits, it's time to move to the next level of safety: either a convertible car seat that allows you to be switched between forward facing infant car seat and rear facing, or an all-in-one seat that lets your child ride in a rear-facing position until they reach the maximum height and weight that is recommended by the manufacturer.

In addition to the weight and height limit, there are other factors that indicate your child is prepared for the next phase of a car seat, such as their level of comfort while riding rear-facing. You can observe these signs in your child's behavior and compare it with other children similar to them in their car seats. You can also ask for assistance from certified child safety experts at an inspection station for car seats, which are often run by local government agencies or community organizations.

It's recommended to keep your child rear-facing for as long as you can. This is the reason why many parents wait until their children are fully mature before allowing them to turn around. However, you can avoid this temptation by ensuring your child's car seat is correctly installed and that you do not rush to change to a forward-facing seat too soon even if they're close to the limits on weight or height of their current car seat.

You can reach a certified child passenger technician if there are any concerns regarding your child's ability to be ready for the next stage of car seats or if you are concerned that you may not installing the car seat correctly. These experts can be found through community groups, local government offices and child passenger safety programs. You can search online for a specialist near you or contact your local public health department or safety agency. Mobile car seat check events can be held at your office or home to ensure that you have the right equipment and are using it correctly.

Installation

Installing a car seat correctly is vital to ensure its safety. Sadly the NHTSA reports that almost half of car seats are incorrectly installed (and this includes rear-facing). The best infant seat way to make sure that your infant car seats are properly installed is to read through the instructions, and then have them professionally assessed by a certified vehicle safety technician.

Checking the angle is the first step towards installing a rear-facing infant car seats that swivel car seat. You can check the angle of the base on the side or in the manual to make sure it is safe for your child's weight.

Also, ensure that the head of your baby is properly positioned in the seat. The forward-facing position can create pressure on the spine and neck of babies with their heavy heads and soft necks. In a rear-facing collision the back of the car seat absorbs the majority of the crash force, which protects the baby's delicate neck as well as spinal cord.

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

If you select an infant car seat that can be detached from the car and re-attached to strollers, this is a great choice for parents who wish to transport their infants in and out of the car frequently. The only downside to this is that it could be time-consuming and difficult to maneuver the stroller and car seat into and out of your vehicle each time, especially with infants. However, if you are willing to invest the extra time each time to do it done, this could be a good option for a lot of families. Be sure to plan ahead, and choose the day that you have plenty of time to spare.
