Why You Should Consider a Forward Facing Infant Car Seat

Children younger than one year old are not allowed to ride in a forward-facing. In the event of a crash, their neck muscles that are weak could stretch and cause serious injuries.

Switch to FF instead of FF once your child is at the maximum weight of their current seat or height (or the minimum required for the new car seat). Please review your instructions for your car seat.

Safety

Car seats for infants are designed to protect the neck and head of your child in the event of an accident. The forward facing position can also help prevent your baby from crashing their head against the back of the car seat, which could result in serious injuries.

All infant car seats that face forward come with five-point harnesses that hold the child in place with just one pull tightening, and the carrier shell is lined with EPS energy-absorbing foam that provides enhanced protection against impact. Some models have an umbrella that protects from the sun.

The best infant car seats will include an angle indicator as well as an adjustable angle adjuster which lets you choose the right angle for your child's head to stop the car seat from slipping over in a collision. The seat also comes with the top tether strap, which comes from the top of the car seat and hooks onto the tether anchor in your vehicle. Be aware that you may not need to move your child from a forward-facing car seat until he or is at the maximum weight and height as stated in the instruction manual for the seat.

It's time to switch when your child weighs 20 pounds and one year old. Toddlers and babies under one year old have loose, soft neck muscles which can result in whiplash during an accident. They are more prone to suffer serious neck injuries when they travel in a frontal collision (the most frequent and serious type). When kids under 1 year ride in a rear-facing car seat their heads are cushioned by the car seat, and protected from sudden movements that can stress their necks.

If children are moving to an forward-facing car seat they should still use a convertible or an all-in-one car seat that has a high rear-facing weight and height limit. They shouldn't be moved to an adult car seat until they reach the high back or backless booster seat age and height requirement which is usually about age 4 or 5. You can notice the differences in these seats when you watch these crash videos however, remember that the footage is reduced in speed. If a kid moves too fast, they could be injured.

Comfort

A retractable canopy shields your child from sun. To ensure safety, the seat is designed to lock to the seat belt of your vehicle and has an locking clip that keeps the latch buckle secure when not in use.

If your baby complains of discomfort or appears to be slouching forward when sleeping It could be due to the angle of the car seat is too low. You can correct this by placing tightly rolled towels under the front of the car seat to lift it up more. If this still doesn't help, you can bring your child to Rockridge Kids to have us examine the angle of their car seat.

It is vital to keep in mind that children are not ready to face forward until they weigh 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 recommend staying a bit longer, since the muscles and bones of young children are more malleable.

Many parents opt to purchase a convertible car seat which allows their infants to travel rear-facing until they reach the maximum height or weight limit of the seat. This lets them enjoy the benefits of a rear-facing car seat for longer, and makes it more convenient for parents because they can simply shift their child from the rear-facing position to the forward-facing one when their child has outgrown it.

Convenience

A forward facing infant car seat is a fantastic option if you're traveling with a child who is young. It allows you to watch your child while driving and the other members of your family can get into the car without disrupting your baby or toddler.

Even even if your child is the age where they can switch to a car seat that is forward-facing, it is safer to keep them in a rear-facing position for as long as you can. From the point of view of crash tests, a child’s head is better protected in a crash if they are facing backwards. This is because the whole body -- including the head neck, torso, and head is held by the car seat's back when they're facing in this direction.

Check the instructions of the manufacturer to determine the time you can rotate the seat of your child. They usually have the weight and height limit you shouldn't exceed, as well as specific rules regarding things like the crotch buckle's position. These limits are intended to protect your child's safety as they develop.

Another thing to think about is whether you own an automobile with an anchor for tethering your car seat. If so, ensure that the tether strap is properly installed and secured to the vehicle's anchor points as per the instructions in the manual for your seat. Lastly, you'll want to ensure that the shoulder straps of your harness are at or just above the shoulders of your child and not too low or high because this can affect the way they are secured in the event of a crash.

A convertible car seat is a good option for parents who have more than one child or who intend to have more. This is a convertible car seat that can be used as a rear-facing infant car seat rear facing car seat, and then changed to a forward-facing seat once your child reaches the weight or height limits of the rear-facing position.

While the idea of having your child face forward is thrilling, there are a few important safety aspects to be aware of. Kids should remain in the rear until they reach the maximum height and weight limits for their particular car seat.

Remember that children vary in size and age. You shouldn't base your decision on a certain date on the calendar, or if you believe they have reached their maximum legroom. It might appear that a child is larger in a rear facing car seat, but that doesn't mean that it's safe to turn them around. Their spine and bones haven't yet fully developed.

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

Many infant car seats aren't just safe, but also easy to use. Some of them have bases that snap in and out of the car, allowing you to carry your child from the car to a stroller, and back. They are usually part of a travel system.

If you're ready to switch your child from a rear-facing convertible seat to a forward-facing one, make sure you follow all the instructions provided by the manufacturer. Also, make sure you check the fit of the car seat. The car seat shouldn't move more than one inch from side to side or front to rear when it is installed correctly. The harness straps must be placed over the shoulders of your child. If you have any concerns or questions, talk to a certified safety technician in your area or call the manufacturer of your car seat.
