Worrying about the safety of their child is what most parents do. They tend to become "overprotective" and "over-acting" when it comes to child safety especially during long drives. This fact leads us to one of the most important responsibilities of parents, choosing a car seat that will keep kids comfortable and secured. However, there are so many different types of car seats out there, that it can be quite difficult choosing the right one for your child. The following criteria can be used in choosing the best car seat for your babies.
An important consideration before buying a car seat is the weight limit of the product as car seats must fit the baby. Your child's height, weight, and age should be the basis with this first criterion. Most car seats available today, like rear-facing-only car seat, can accommodate about 20 lbs. of weight. Nevertheless, there are also other models that can accommodate a higher weight limit as to provide extended usable life for the car seat. Height-wise, on the other hand, ideal is having the baby's head an inch or more below the top of the car seat when rear-facing or the tops of the baby's ears below the seat top if front-facing.
You must also make sure that the car seat you will be purchasing fits the seat of your car. As seats of vehicles are now designed in various ways, not all car seats for babies fill in every given vehicle size. You must make sure that the car seat can be properly installed on the vehicle's seat and that there is at least an inch of side-to-side wiggle. Be reminded that even if you purchased that most expensive and most technologically advanced car seat, if not installed appropriately, it is useless.
Other than these, there are also many safety features that are available and being presented in the market today. Listed below are some essential details that should be considered:
a) Car seats with anti rebound security features have a very deep shell that "cocoons" the baby during rebound, protecting your baby against hitting the vehicle seat.
b) Base system features on the other hand allows easy removal and installation of the car seat. Make sure that if you are travelling using different vehicles, the car seat can be easily clicked in and out of the vehicle.
c) Harness adjustments must be easily reached and must work smoothly. As babes grow and travel in various clothing, it is necessary to tighten or loosen the harness occasionally.
d) Always check the protection facility of the car seat. This feature helps to reduce the amount of damage in case of accidents. These seats are designed in such a way that the risk of injury to your child will be minimized to a great extent.
e) Accessories and installation aids should be included in the product as packed by the manufacturer. Any item not included can be listed unsafe to use with the car seat.
So which car seat best suit yours and your baby's needs? Aside from those criteria aforementioned, you can also look into products from established manufacturers like the Maxi Cosi. Nevertheless, the best car seat that would suit you would depend on your car, your budget, and most especially, your baby's safety.
