car Seats By age (king-wifi.win)

Car seats come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but each one is designed to safeguard children based on their age. Children should be in their car seat until they are at the manufacturer's weight or height limits. Then, they can use a booster until their belts of their vehicle fit properly typically when they are between 10 and 12 years old or 4 feet 9 inches tall.

When shopping for a new car seat, consider features such as fabric that resists stains, removable pieces that can be washed by machines, and hardware that wipes clean.

Rear-facing

Rear-facing car seats hold babies and toddlers, securing their delicate spines and necks in the event of a collision. They're also safer because they distribute the force of impact across more of a larger area which reduces spinal cord injuries.

Parents are often enticed to move their kids into forward-facing car seats before they're ready, however the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends keeping them rear-facing for as long as it is possible. The manufacturer will inform you when your child is ready to move forward.

Children's head are large in relation to their body, and growing. This makes them vulnerable in the event of a crash. In reality, a child's head can generate up to 25 times the force of their bodyweight in an accident -- enough to cause fatal injury. This is the reason why children who ride in a car seat with their backs towards the front are at the highest risk of fatal head injuries.

Many parents believe that their children have larger necks and can make the transition to a car seat that faces forward earlier. It is important to keep in mind that a lightweight baby car seat who is in the 95th percentile of their age isn't stronger than a child who is 5th percentile and that no amount of push-ups done by teens will alter the fact that. In the event of a car accident, a bigger kid's head is likely to be struck with more force, which could cause spinal cord and brain injuries.

When your child has outgrown their car seat for infants, you can convert them to a convertible car that allows them stay rear-facing up until they reach their maximum weight or the height limit. Children usually reach their maximum height first. So, it's important to follow the instructions of the car seat manufacturer regarding when to switch to forward-facing mode.

When your child is at the weight limit of their convertible car seat or height limit, you'll have to transition them to the booster. Most booster seats have a built-in angle indicator that will inform you that the seat is installed and is ready to switch to forward-facing mode. Make sure to use a booster in the back of your vehicle and always with a seat belt (never shoulder belts) to provide the most secure security for your child.

Forward-facing

Many parents are enticed to switch their kids' car seats around as they grow older because it is more convenient. But they should remember that rear-facing is the best option for children.

The fact that a child is facing forward in car seats puts their necks in danger in a crash because the head could be thrown by force against the front seat and cause permanent injury to the spine. Even if a child's neck muscles are strong enough, it is still possible for them to experience whiplash. This is especially true for smaller kids such as infants who are less than a year old.

A child facing forward is more likely to hit his head on the dashboard, or even a window in a crash. Depending on the type of crash and the speed at which the car is moving the head could be pushed back against the seat and break the skull or spinal cord.

The current safety guidelines require children to remain rear-facing until both they reach 20 lbs and 1 year old. The reason for this is that children who are younger do not have enough neck strength to withstand a head-on collision, which is the most serious kind of car accident.

The harness and tether will aid in keeping the child's head stable and reduce neck strain. A child who is rear-facing will also be less likely to suffer head injuries, as the impact will be cushioned by their seat.

If you have a child under a year in a convertible car seat or an all-in-1 seat that can switch from forward-facing to rear-facing be sure to follow the instructions of the manufacturer about when it is safe for your child to be facing the front. The guidelines will tell you whether or not to use a tether and the weight and height limitations for that particular seat.

Once your child has reached the maximum height or weight permitted by the car seat manufacturer, they can travel with a forward-facing seat with a tether. Once they've outgrown it, the time is now to move on to a booster.

Seat booster

There is no magic age or height at which children are able to safely stop using a booster seat. Kids should use it until the vehicle belt fits them properly, and that can happen anywhere from age 8 to 13.

A booster helps a child increase their height so that they are able to sit upright in the car. It also positions the shoulder part of the belt in a way that it is near but not directly over the chest. The lap portion of the belt must rest on the thighs, not the stomach. Booster seats come with a belt guide to ensure that the belt is placed correctly.

Booster seats are available with or without a rearrest. The most common type is a high-back booster that provides neck and head support for children. It's a great choice for cars with low seat backs and no head rests. Backless boosters are cheaper, but they don't provide neck or head support. Certain all-in-one boosters let you switch between harness and boost modes. They are suitable for children weighing up to 65 pounds in harness mode and up to 100 pounds when used as boosters.

Certain boosters have a lower anchors system (LATCH) that connects to the vehicle's lower anchors and a tether, if available. Others require the seat belt to secure them in place. Go through the manual of your car to determine if you're able to use the lower anchors on your car, and also read the booster seat instructions to learn how to utilize them.

Some parents might be tempted to transfer their 30-pound 3-year-old child to an adult car seat since the child is getting too tall for a harness seat. It's dangerous to "graduate" a child from the harness. Children could be injured or even killed if the belt is loose during an accident.

Back seat

All children should use a child safety or booster seat installed correctly for as long as they are able to. Children who are too large for a rear facing car seat, or have exceeded the limits of its weight and height and should be switched to a forward-facing child restraint that has a harness until they reach the maximum height for this type of seat.

Once your child has outgrown an portable infant car seat car seat you can switch them to convertible car seats or an all-in one car seat with a rear-facing option. These seats are usually good infant car seats for two years or until the child is at the maximum weight and height of the seat. Install the car safety seat in the middle seat of your vehicle. It is secured using the lower anchor system and seat belt.

If your child has outgrown their rear-facing car seat and is tall enough, they can be put into a front-facing child restraint equipped with a harness and tether. These seats are usually used until your child is 57 inches in height or attains the maximum weight and height requirements for the seat. You can find out how tall and heavy the car seat is by studying the manufacturer's instructions, or by looking at a tag attached to it.

All children older than 5 years old should be seated in a booster seat or vehicle's lap belt, if possible. If they can't then they should use the middle back seat restraint. It is also recommended to not sit in front of the car if the airbag is active. Sitting children in the front seat could increase their chances of being injured during an accident, as the impact forces are greater on their smaller bodies.

You can take your child to an inspection station or car seat clinic to receive assistance selecting and installing the best car seats newborn child safety seat. They can also find out whether your car seat has been recalled due to flaws or safety concerns. Then, you can buy one that's compatible with your car and your child's size. If you're not able to test a seat before purchasing be sure that it comes with an exchange policy.
