Every mother needs a car seat
Author: dessi / Category: BabyWHEN THE TIME TO CAR TRAVEL WITH YOU SMALL ONES COMES
What you should know for your child safety in the car
The child should be in an appropriate safety seat until he is 8 years old unless he is already 4 feet and 9 inches or taller.
The five point harness is the best support. After that the child should be seated properly with lap and shoulder belt.
Children 12 years and under should be seated in the rear seat. The child should be seated in a rear facing position until he is 1 year old AND 20 ponds.
When you buy a car seat have these in mind
1. The best support is the 5 point harness. The one that adjusts in the front is easier.
2. Buy a new car seat. Some have an expiration date. They are made to withstand only one serious accident.
3. The safest place is the center of the rear seat
4. Chest clips that snap the two belts together are more kid proof then the slide in clips
5. It will be better if there are no shields in front of the harness.
6. Check the return policy
The most popular car seat trends
| 1. Britax Rounabout - expensive convertibles car seats but very suitable and only choice for heavy children that are still not mature enough to sit in a seatbelt in a booster - either front and rear facing position - layers of EPS (foam type material) which is absorbing the shock - five point harness with up front adjusting - too bulky for smaller cars, the seat itself weighs 13 pound - Children up to 40 pounds and 40 inches tall | ||
| 2. Britax Marathon - heavier and larger than the Roundabout - Children up to 65 pounds in front facing position and up to 35 in rear one. - Complains about tight crotch straps and insufficient recline | ||
| 3. Sunshine Kids Radian 65 - forward facing position up to 65 pounds - suitable for heavy children who still need 5 point harness - foldable - narrower than others - crotch straps too restrictive - too heavy even the optional carry strap | ||
| 4. Carco Comfort Sport and Evenflo Triumph Advance LX |
