Baby Car Seat

When looking for the best baby car seat for your precious bundle of joy be sure to know the weight and height of your child. There are plenty of car seats that use age range to recommend a model size. Most models will have 5 points of safety belts that secure the shoulders, hips with a strong clasp system between the legs. Acting as a harness protecting the child from any accident shocks ensuring they remain in their seat in case of collision.

Infants & New Borns 

The first model used by infants is a Rear-Facing Car Seat that as the name suggests faces away from the front of the car ensuring better safety and anchoring of the seat used up to 12 months of age. This model can take up to 22 to 35 pounds and is ideal for babies between 26 to 35 inches in height. There are convertible baby car seats that after the child outgrows the rear-facing placement can simply turn the seat around so that their legs have space. The baby car seats are fastened into place with the car's own seat belt system.

Toddlers & Young Children

If you are looking for a baby car seat to last then choosing an all-in-one model with a higher weight limit as compared to rear-facing models will ensure that you can use the same seat for a few years. They can take up to 40–50 pounds and are designed to be Forward-Facing. Children from the age of 4 onwards can use what is called a Booster Seat that is designed for their height, body shape and weight.
