The headrest also stops the child from sliding off the shoulder straps during the event of a crash and the harness will keep the chest clip in place above the shoulders of your child.

It is important to keep in mind that there have been ZERO reported instances of children in forward-facing seats breaking their legs when they hit the rear of the seat. This happens when a kid's feet rise and get caught against the seat's back which causes a lot of pressure on the bones of the legs. This is not something you should put your child at risk of.

There are a variety of programs in the US that offer infant car seats at a discounted price or free for parents who meet the requirements. This is a great opportunity to ensure your child is placed in a secure car seat before they grow out of it and use it in a safe way for many years.

The base of most newer infant car seat models is designed to be easily removed and installed, making them more convenient to use. This feature is especially helpful for families with small children because you can keep the car seat on and ready for use even if you change vehicles.

This area can be tested with many things, such as the blade of a key, or the length wireless earbuds. Examine the directions for the car seat and the owner's manual for your vehicle to see whether the angle can be adjusted to remove the space.

2. Harness Position

In baby car seats, bouncers, swings, strollers, and other toys for children, newborns and preemies can get into a dangerous situation with their chins touching their chests. In a crash they can be injured by the chest clip or crushed by straps on the harness that are loose or not placed over their shoulders. To avoid this, ensure that the straps for your shoulders begin a little below and then come upwards over the shoulders of the child and make sure you tighten them. The straps should be tight enough to squeeze the fabric together. This is called the Pinch Test. The bulky outer layers of winter coats can hinder this, so make sure to take them off prior to placing your child in their seat.

The chest clip is designed to break in a crash but it can be compressed on the throat of a child if it's too low or when the chest straps are loose. It is also essential that the chest clip not in the neck opening of the collar. the buckle should be placed at armpit level.

In the event of a crash rear-facing infants are more likely to slide off the seat, and the harness straps need to be able to hold the child's neck and head. This is why it's very important that the straps are placed over the shoulders. If the straps fall too low, they may slide through the neck opening of the infant or over their ears. If they are too loose, they may be able to reach the face of the child.

Ensure the shoulder straps are in the slots at or above your child's shoulders and that they fit comfortably. Newborns may require a separate infant insert (often included with the car seat) to raise them so that their shoulders can reach the slot. Some infant car seats come with built-in angle indicators or adjustors to help with this and you can always check the instructions included with your seat.

3. Rear-Facing Only

While some parents might be tempted to turn their infant car seat around to face forward, due to their child's legs being too short in the rear-facing position, there is really no reason to do so. Rear-facing is more secure than forward-facing, as the child's spine and neck are supported in the event of an accident. Forward-facing children may suffer serious injuries as their bodies are thrown into the vehicle.

Many infant car seats also have an angle indicator so that you can ensure the seat is properly installed. You also need to make sure your child's head is flat against the seat and the harness straps are placed over their shoulders, not under their arms or twisted. You should be able to squeeze a little bit of material on their shoulder to confirm that the harness is tight enough. Examine the crotch strap to make sure it's at the same height as the armpits and not at the waist. You should also read the manual for your infant car seat to ensure that you know how to use it properly.

Most manufacturers recommend that children sit rear-facing in their car seats until they are at least one year old or until they reach the height and weight limit of their particular car seat. Certain states have laws that require babies to remain rear-facing until they are two years old.

Install the infant car seat on the middle seat of a car that only has one back seat. This allows you to view your child easily through the rearview mirror, without having to bend. It's also helpful to install the car seat on the driver's side, so you do not have to walk all the way around your car every time you want to put your baby in or out of their car seat.

If you own a car with two rear seats, you can put the infant car seat on either side as long as it's not in front of the passenger-side airbag. If you must choose between installing an infant car seat on either the left or the right side of your vehicle, put it on the driver’s side.

4. Booster Seats

All children who outgrow their infant car seat due to weight and height must use a booster seat until the seat belt is fitted properly. This is only possible when they are at least 4 feet 9 inches tall and have reached the top of their headrest (check the recommendations of the manufacturer of the seat for exact measurements).

Booster seats can assist in positioning the lap belt and shoulder correctly. They can also limit the distance that a child's skull moves during a crash, which decreases the chance of injury. Head movement is the main reason behind motor vehicle crashes that are the top fatality for children between the ages of 4 and 8.

If a booster is used improperly the lap portion of the belt could slide up over a child's abdomen and cause major injuries in a crash. This can be avoided with a belt guide on the booster that prevents the lap belt from sliding onto the stomach of a child or climbing over armrests.

A lot of boosters come with armrests, handles, or guide slots that allow you to keep the lap belt in a low and flat position across a child's upper thighs. This ensures that the lap belt starts and remains on a child's strong hip bones instead of moving up into their stomachs in the event of a crash.

Some booster seats come with an automatic seatbelt lock mechanism that locks the seatbelt in place when a child is sitting in them. This will help to keep the lap belt from moving upwards and over the child's abdomen. This can also help to stop the seat belt from being pulled over the face of a child, which could result in airway obstruction and hypoxia, as well as neck strain.
