Getting The Right Baby Car Seat
We all want to keep our children safe, and when they are just babies it’s important to find the right baby car seats for your vehicle. Unfortunately a lot of parents don’t have enough knowledge about them outside of looking for the best price. Today we want to help you learn more about finding the right car seat, and what your choice should include.
During the searching process you have to address the basic safety issues. Connecting the seat belt securely is probably the first place most parents look. This should come with an integrated LATCH system or a Lower Anchor and Tether for Children. It’s what fastens the car seat to your vehicle’s seat. So whenever you’re in a normal driving situation the baby seat will stable, especially with the regular seat belt being used as well.
The best baby car seats out there also come with a Versa Tether Energy Absorbing system. It’s what holds your baby in place in case there is a sudden stop. In fact, it’s built to keep the baby seat from moving anymore than six inches. A good example would be the Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 Car Seat. If you have a LATCH system this is usually an integrated part.
EPS foam is the same kind of foam that goes into bicycle helmets and is a great addition to baby car seats. In the event of an accident, this foam is designed to divert the forces of a crash away from your baby. It also puts an extra barrier between them and hard surfaces. Then there is the HUGS harness, which is used to prevent any kind of movement, such as if you are involved in a side car crash, or even hit from behind.
While each one of these safety measures are extremely important, the safety harness is on of the biggest benefits. When you have found the right baby seat for your car it should come with a 5-point system. It should also be form fitting to compact their range of motion, and it should latch down to the seat itself. Check out the Graco Nautilus to get an idea. Since children want to learn unintentionally, the latch should be out of reach when your child is harnessed into the seat.
You should also consider your child’s comfort so you can focus on driving and not on the baby. There will be times when it gets dirty and needs a nice cleansing process, which means the cushioning should be able to be detached. You can place this in the washer and wipe down the body of the seat. If you’re looking for something that will last 5 or 6 years, try to find one of the Graco Nautilus Car Seat. They can change from rear-facing to front-facing, and when your baby becomes a toddler it can become a booster seat.
Each one of these benefits will be extremely important, but we understand you might be on a budget. If this is the case; don’t ever sacrifice quality for price. It’s well worth the extra money upfront because the baby car seat will last longer. We would also recommend NOT purchasing a cheap car seat or even a used one. The structural integrity just isn’t the same, and you could end up going through several baby car seats in the process. So if you’re in need of a car seat for your baby, expect to pay $100 to $200. It will be worth every penny.
