Ways To Keep Baby Safe While Traveling
22nd January 2012 by Babies No CommentsIf you like to travel a lot taking your baby with you, an infant car seat is a must. Not only are they designed to protect you baby during an impact, it can also be handy in carrying your baby. Some car seats double as a rocker and can be used to rock baby to sleep.
Infant car seat covers are made to cover the car seat whenever the baby suffered from a diaper leak. In selecting infant car seat covers, get those which cleans easily. Choosing a car seat should be made carefully. Getting a car seat online is also good, but for your first purchase, it would be wise if you get it at a physical store so you can examine the strength of the harnesses more thoroughly.
Get a car seat which has a five point harness instead of three so it can better protect your baby during a crash. A seat with a deeper shell with cushioned side guards will preotect your baby against side impacts. Good car seats have an anti rebound feature that rotate downward and come back up when the car crashes and turns turtle.
A reliable manufacturing company does physical studies and does a series of tests to have a ready solution for every type of impact. This is very helpful since the baby could not do anything to help herself during an accident especially when both her parents are passed out. Get a car seat with a stay-in base so there is less chance of incorrect installation. Also, getting a car seat which can still be installed even without its base would be convenient whenever the situation calls for you to drive home in a different car.
Babies grow up and most likely that after a year you will again have to buy another car seat because the old one has already been outgrown. So it would be more practical for you to get a car seat which can hold more than 22 pounds because most babies grow up to this weight when they reach 1 year old. If your baby’s head has risen more than an inch higher than the top shell of the seat, it is a signal that you should get a new one.
