Car Seat Newborn

Car seats for infants are designed to fit snugly and securely for infants. The majority of them are "click in and snap" models which makes them easy to use.

The chest clip should be positioned between your baby's armpits. If the seat manufacturer permits the use of a tightly rolled receiving blanket to cover any gaps between your baby's bottom and their crotch strap to prevent slouching.

Safety Seat Labels

When you are shopping for a car seat or other baby items make sure you look over the labels carefully. Those labels can give you a good idea of how to use the product safely and how to care for it in a safe manner. They can aid in identifying non-compliant or counterfeit products.

For instance, if you find that a child safety seat is reduced significantly from its original price, you should be cautious. This lower price could be a sign that the car seat has been played with, is not compliant with U.S. standards, or was designed to be sold in an overseas market. In those cases the lower cost could make the car seat less secure and could cause serious injury to your child in a crash.

Legitimate car seats have very specific labeling requirements that must be met in order to pass inspections and to be legally sold in the United States. This includes a white label with black and red lettering that indicates that the seat is in compliance with the federal requirements, as well as an additional label on the side of the seat that lists the model number, serial number, date of manufacture and instructions on how to use the car seat. A valid car seat also comes with a manual and registration card that verify the seat was purchased from an authorized dealer.

The label on a car seat also includes information about the maximum weight and height of the child. These limits will let you know which car seat is appropriate for your child. If your child is short and weighs under 22 pounds, you'll need a rear-facing child's seat.

Some seats, particularly convertible seats, have an indication on them which will show you how to recline it properly. It may be an alignment line that aligns the seat with the floor or a ball in an exact slot. This is very important because reclining the wrong seat could put your child at risk of injury in the event an accident.

Most manufacturers put the warning label in a central location on the front edge of the booster seat cushion. This is the preferred location because it is easily visible to the child while sitting in the booster seat. It is also easily readable and will not be obscured by clothing or other objects that might obscure the message.

Harness Straps

You should always check that the harness straps on your child's car seat or stroller carriers are secure and correctly set. This is particularly important for newborns who can easily slip out of the loose straps, or be ejected in an accident.

The 5-point harness is designed so that it contacts five different points of your child's body, including the shoulders, hips, and between the crotch. This helps to disperse any force of a crash equally. The straps should be snug but not be uncomfortable. If you are unsure about the fit, try the "Pinch Test". With your thumb and finger to pinch the strap on the shoulder of your child. If the strap is so tight that it causes discomfort it's tight and needs to be loosen.

Many parents believe that their child's harness isn't enough tight. However, this could be more dangerous than straps that are too loose. A strap that is loose can move with your child's torso during an accident and the spinal column can be compressed which can cause injury or death.

If your child is a forward-facing infant the harness straps must be placed comfortably over or above the shoulders. A strap that is positioned below the shoulder could cause the child's torso to move too far forward during a crash. This could result in them being removed from the car seat, or even into the windshield. This can cause them to strike the shoulder restraint with their head, causing severe injury or even death.

If the chest clip of your child is higher than their armpits, it's a good idea for you to place a couple of blankets or washcloths on the side of the infant car seat swivel as neck and head support. This will prevent them from squirming their way to the back of the seat, possibly getting their neck tangled with the chest clip and strangling themselves in the event of a crash.

Chest Clip

The chest clip is one of the most misunderstood features of car seats. Many parents are led to believe that it secures the child in the car seat and even if it is properly positioned, it can have some scary myths about it (low chest clips puncturing stomachs, for instance).

The chest clip isn't sufficient to protect your child during a crash. The crotch clip is responsible for this, which is why it is essential to secure the harness at your crotch, not the chest. If the chest clip is set too low, the straps can slide off the shoulders during the event of a crash. This could lead to being thrown out of the car seat. This is why it's recommended to place the chest clip at the armpit level as well as the place where the majority of car seat manuals recommend placing it.

Chest clips function as a pre-crash positioner, helping to keep the harness straps in place and on the child's shoulders. In the event of a crash it's not uncommon for a chest clip to break or slide down due to the force that is applied to it during the collision, but this doesn't affect your child's safety in any way so long the harness is securely fastened at the crotch buckle.

If your child wears blankets or jackets, make sure you remove it before you secure the harness. This could make it difficult for the straps to fit properly on shoulders. In the same way, heavy outer clothing should be left at home when taking your toddler or infant on a trip in their car seat.

A chest clip that's not correctly positioned could prevent your child's ability to reach the seat belt buckle. This can be dangerous if they are trying to get out of their seat while you're driving. It could result in them not buckling themselves properly during a sudden stop or crash. An easy solution is to install a Buckle Guard on your car seat. This stops your child from pressing the release button and opening their chest clip.

Crotch Buckle

The crotch buckle can be found below the baby's shoulders (when in a rear facing car seat) or above their shoulders (when in forward facing car seats newborn seat). It should be as close to their body as it is possible and placed between their legs.

Little legs of newborns are floppy that are often put into the crotch of the harness and don't sit in the correct position. This can impede their airway and cause them to choke or even become unresponsive in a crash.

Using a crochet pattern for the buckle cover can aid in keeping their legs in the right position. The pattern should not have loose threads around the buckle. Ideally, the cover should be made using a stretchy, soft yarn.

For more information about your particular model and how to secure it you might consider consulting an expert in child safety. Even if you follow all the instructions for your car seats by age seat there's always more to know than what is apparent.

Infant car seats are designed specifically for infants and infants who are small. They attach to the vehicle's base, and can be removed in a single click. They are equipped with several features that make them safer than convertible car seats that are larger and include a recline indicator to make sure the baby is sitting upright.

Many parents choose to use an car seats for infants because they are comfortable and portable, especially when traveling. It is important to note that they're only safe to use until your child is at the maximum height and weight limits of the seat.

Once your baby outgrows the infant car seat, they should be able to switch to a convertible car seat. These seats are extremely safe features, including carefully engineered side impact protection and a five-point harness. They are more difficult to move from one vehicle to another and take up more room than carseats for infants.

To create a crotch buckle cover for your convertible car seat an extra large hook and size 5 crochet thread are required. The cover should sit over the buckle on the car seat, and have a few inches to drape over the edge. Start by making a standing sc on the first chain near the end of the belt. Work in sc around the entire strap including the chains from the previous row. Repeat this process to the opposite end of the strap. Secure the strap and weave ends.
