Car Seat Newborn

Infant car seats provide an ideal and secure fit for babies. Most are "click in and snap" models which makes them easy to use.

Make sure that the chest clip is placed in the right place to your baby's armpits. If the manufacturer of the seat allows you to use a tightly-rolled receiving blanket to fill in any gaps between your baby's bottom and their crotch strap to prevent the slouching.

Safety Seat Labels

When purchasing a car seat or other baby items, be sure to look over the labels carefully. The labels will provide useful details on how to use and care for the product. They can also help you identify potentially non-compliant or counterfeit products.

Be wary if, for instance you see a reduced price on a child safety car seat. This lower price could indicate that the car seat has been played with, isn't compliant with U.S. standards, or was designed for an overseas market. In those cases the lower cost could make the seat less secure and result in serious injury to your child in a crash.

Car seat labeling requirements are extremely specific. They must be met in order to pass inspections, and to be legally sold in the United States. This includes an white label with red and black lettering that indicates that the seat is in compliance with federal standards, and a label on the side of the seat that provides the model number, serial number, date of manufacture and instructions for the use of the car seat. A valid car seat will also include a user's manual and a registration card to confirm that the seat was purchased through an authorized dealer.

The label of a car seat also includes information on the maximum weight and height of the child. These limits will tell you which car seat is appropriate for your child. If your child is petite and weighs less than 22 pounds, then you'll need a rear-facing child's seat.

Certain seats, including convertible seats, have an indication on them that tells you how to recline it properly. This could include a line to level the seat to the ground or a ball which needs to be placed in a specific slot. This is vital, as improperly reclining a seat could put your child at risk for injury in the event a crash.

The warning label is usually placed on the outside of the cushion. This is because it will be readily visible while the child is in the seat. It is also easy to read and will not be obscured by clothing or other objects that could obscure the message.

Harness Straps

Always ensure that the harness straps of your child's car seat or stroller transporter are securely and correctly set. This is especially crucial for babies who could easily slip out of a loose harness or even get ejected from an accident.

The 5-point harness is designed so that it contacts five different points on your child's body, including the hips, shoulders, and between the crotch. This allows you to spread the force of a crash equally. The straps should fit comfortably but not be uncomfortable. If you are unsure of the fit, you can use the "Pinch Test". Use your thumb and fingers to press the strap against your baby's shoulders. If the strap feels too tight that it causes discomfort it's too tight and should be released.

It's also normal for caregivers to believe that their baby seat's harness straps are too tight, but this can actually be more dangerous than a strap that is too loose. A loose strap can move with your child's body in an accident and cause spinal compression which can cause injury or death.

If your child is facing forward, the harness straps must be positioned securely at or above the shoulders. A strap that is positioned below the shoulder could cause the child's torso to move forward too much in a crash. This could cause them to be removed from the car seat, or even into the windshield. This could lead them to strike the shoulder restraint with their head, causing severe injury or death.

If the chest clip of your child is located above their armpits, it's a good idea for you to place tightly-rolled blankets or washcloths on the side of the infant to provide neck and head support. This will stop them from squirming to the back of the seat, and possibly getting their neck caught in the chest clip and tangling themselves in the event of a crash.

Chest Clip

One of the most misunderstood of car seat features is the chest clip. Many parents believe that the chest clip is what holds the child in the seat. Even if it's properly positioned, it could still be a subject of myths associated with it (lower chest clips piercing the stomach, for instance).

The chest clip isn't strong enough to hold your child in an accident. The crotch clip is the primary reason for this, so it is important to buckle the harness at your crotch, not the chest. If the chest clip is placed too low, it can cause the straps of the harness to slide off the shoulders during a crash and could result in an ejection from the seat. This is the reason it's recommended to place the chest clip in the armpit, which is also the position that the majority of car seat manuals recommend placing it.

Chest clips serve as a pre-crash positioning device and help keep the harness straps aligned and on the child's shoulders. In the event of a crash, it's not uncommon for the chest clip to break or move down because of the amount of force that is applied to it during the crash however, this shouldn't affect your child's safety in any way so long the harness is securely fastened at the crotch buckle.

If your child is wearing a jacket or blanket, be sure to remove it prior to putting on the harness, as it could hinder the harness straps from being able to properly rest on their shoulders. When taking your child in their car seat for newborn seat, you should keep bulky outer clothes at home.

A chest clip that's not positioned correctly can also prevent your child from reaching their seat belt buckle to unfasten the buckle. This could be risky particularly if your child is trying to get out from their seat while driving. It can also cause the buckle to be unfastened in a stop or crash. An easy solution is to install a Buckle Guard on your car seat. It prevents your child from pushing the release button, and then opening their chest clip.

Crotch Buckle

The crotch strap can be found either beneath the baby's shoulders if in a rear-facing car seat or above them (if in a forward-facing car seat). It should be positioned as close as is possible to the baby's body and between their legs.

Baby's floppy legs are usually tucked in the crotch and don't sit in the right position. This can cause their airway to be blocked, causing them to choke during an accident or lose their ability to respond.

The cover for the buckle can be created using simple crochet patterns to keep the legs in place. The pattern should not contain any loose threads around the buckle. Ideally, the cover should also be made using a stretchy, soft yarn.

It is recommended to speak with a child safety technician (who is an expert in the field of car seats) to learn more about the specific model you have and the best car seat method to secure it. Even if you've followed the instructions that come with your car seat, there is more to learn.

Car seats for infants are designed specifically for infants and infants who are small. They are attached to a base that remains in the car and can be easily removed with the click. They come with a variety of safety features, including an inbuilt recline indicator to ensure that the baby is sitting up straight.

Many parents choose infant car seats due to their convenience and portability particularly when travelling. It is important to remember that these seats are only safe for use until your child has reached the maximum weight and height limit of the seat.

When your child is no longer in their car seat for infants it is time to move to a convertible car seat. These seats are extremely safe features, such as meticulously engineered side impact protection as well as a five point harness. However, they are more difficult to move between vehicles and take up more space than cheap infant car seats car seats.

To make a crotch-buckle cover for your convertible car seat a large hook and size 5 crochet thread is needed. The cover should be designed to fit over the buckle of the car seat with a couple inches of space left to drape over the edge of the car seat. Begin by making an sc standing on the first chain near the end of the belt. Work in sc around the strap including the chains from the previous row. Repeat this process until the other end of the strap. Secure the strap and weave in ends.
