Why You Should Consider a Forward Facing Infant Car Seat

Children younger than one year are NOT supposed to ride forward-facing. In the event of a crash, their weak neck muscles could be stretched and cause serious injuries.

Instead, switch to FF when your child reaches the height or weight maximums of their current seat (or the minimums required for the new seat). Make sure you read the car seat instructions.

Safety

In the event of a crash infant car seats are designed to protect your child's neck and head. The forward facing position can also help prevent your baby from hitting their head on the back of the car seat, which could result in serious injuries.

All forward-facing infant car seats have five point harnesses that secure the child with one pull, tightening the strap. the shell of the car seat is lined with EPS energy-absorbing foam to provide improved protection from impact. Some also have a canopy that provides shade from the sun.

The most effective infant car seats come with an adjustable angle adjustment and an angle indicator. This allows you to choose the ideal angle for your child's neck in order to stop it from slipping over in the event of collisions. The top tether strap connects to the vehicle's tether anchor and comes from the top. Be aware that you might not have to change your child's seat to an forward-facing car seat until he / attains the maximum weight and height specified in the manual of the seat.

It's time to change when your child reaches 20 pounds and one year. Children and toddlers younger than one year have soft, loose muscles in their necks, which can cause whiplash if they are involved in an accident. In frontal collisions (the most severe and frequent kind), they are more likely to suffer serious neck injuries. Rear-facing car seats shield the neck of children under one year old by cushioning their head.

When children transition to an forward-facing car seat they should still use a convertible or all-in-one seat that has a high rear-facing weight and a height limit. They shouldn't be pushed to an adult car seat until they have met the high back or backless booster seat age and height requirements typically around age 4 or 5. These crash videos will demonstrate the differences between the two carseats. However, keep in mind that the footage is slowed down. A child can be injured if they move too quickly.

Comfort

A forward facing infant car seat allows your child to enjoy a comfortable ride and be secure in a crash. The seat comes with a comfortable headrest, a cushion for body support and an EPS energy-absorbing foam shell that will protect your child from a collision. The seat also features five-point harnesses that are easy to use with one-pull tightening, and an adjustable front center adjuster that ensures your child is correctly positioned. A retractable canopy shields your child from sun. The seat can be secured to the belts of the vehicle for security. It also includes a clip to lock the buckle in place when the seat isn't in use.

If your child complains of discomfort or appears to slump forward while sleeping, it may be because the angle of the car seat is too low. This can be fixed by placing a towel that is tightly folded underneath the front of your car seat. If this doesn't work, you can take your baby to Rockridge Kids and we will check the angle of the car seat newborn insert seat.

It is vital to keep in mind that children aren't yet ready to take on the world until they are at least 20 pounds AND one year old (their necks aren't sturdy enough to withstand the force applied to them in a crash in the event of falling forward on their own). Some experts suggest waiting longer, because the muscles and bones of young children are more flexible than those of adults.

Many parents choose to purchase convertible car seats that lets their infants move rearwards until they reach maximum weight or height limits. This lets them enjoy the benefits of a rear-facing car seat longer, and makes it easier for parents as they can easily move their child from the rear-facing position to the forward-facing position when their child is no longer in the position.

Convenience

A forward facing infant car seat is an excellent option when you're traveling with a young child. It lets you view your child's face while driving and allows the rest of the family to get into the vehicle without disturbing your infant or toddler. This type of car seats can be used in conjunction with strollers which makes it easier for you to get your child in and out of the car when you go to the store or doing other chores.

But, even if your child is old enough to move to an forward-facing car seat, it's better to keep them rear-facing as long as possible. When you consider it from the perspective of crash test results, a child's head is safer in a frontal collision when they are facing backwards. This is because the entire body -- head neck, torso, and head -- is cradled by the back of the car seat when they face in this direction.

Check the instructions of the manufacturer to see when you can rotate your child's seat. They will often have an upper weight and height limit you shouldn't go over, as well as specific rules regarding things like crotch buckles. These limits are intended to ensure the safety of your child as they develop.

Another thing to consider is whether you have a vehicle that has Tether anchors for your car seat. If so, ensure that the tether is connected to your vehicle's anchor points according to the instructions in the manual. Lastly, you'll want to make sure that the harness shoulder straps are placed at or just above the shoulders of your child and not too high or low, as this will impact how well they're restrained in a crash.

A great option for parents with more than one child or plan to have more children is a convertible car seat. This is a complete car seat that can start off being used as an infant car seat that faces rearwards and then transition your child to a forward-facing seat once they are old enough and have reached the height or weight limit of the rear-facing position of the car seat.

Remember that children vary in terms of size and age. It isn't a good idea to base your decision on a specific date on the calendar, or if you think they have reached their maximum length. Children may appear larger in a rear-facing car seat however, that doesn't mean that it's safe to turn them around, as their bones and spine haven't fully developed.

It is recommended that you keep your child rear facing until they reach one year old. certain infant car seats come with an integrated reminder to keep them there. This is because children under one do not have strong enough neck muscles to withstand a frontal impact which could result in serious spinal injuries.
