Why You Should Consider a Forward Facing Infant Car Seat
Children under one year should not ride facing towards the forward. In the event of a crash neck muscles that are weak can stretch and cause serious injury.
Instead change to FF at the time your child reaches the height or weight maximums of their current seat (or the minimums required for the new seat). Read your car seat instructions carefully.
Safety
Infant car seats are made to protect the head and neck of your child in the event of an accident. The forward-facing position can also help prevent your lightweight baby car seat from hitting their head on the back of the car seat which could result in serious injuries.
All infant seats that face forward have five-point harnesses, which can secure the child by pulling the straps. The shell of the car seat is lined in energy-absorbing foam EPS to offer better protection from impact. Some have an umbrella to protect from the sun.
The most effective infant car seats include an adjustable angle adjuster and an angle indicator. This lets you choose the ideal angle for your child's neck in order to stop it from slipping over in the event of an accident. The top tether strap is attached to the tether anchor on the vehicle and comes from the top. Be aware that you may not need to move your child from a forward-facing car seat until attains the maximum weight and height as stated in the manual of the seat.
When your child reaches 20 pounds and one year old, it's time to switch. Toddlers and babies under one year old have loose, soft neck muscles which can result in whiplash during the event of a crash. They are more likely to sustain serious neck injuries when they are in a frontal collision (the most frequent and serious type). Rear-facing car seats protect the necks of infants under one year old by cushioning their heads.
When children move to a forward-facing car seat, they still require a convertible or an all-in-one that has a large rearward weight and a height limit. They should not be moved to a booster seat until they meet the high back or backless booster seat age and height requirements, which usually means about age 4 or 5. You can notice the differences in these carseats when you look at these crash videos, however, remember that the footage is slowed down. If a kid moves too fast, they may be injured.
Comfort
A forward-facing infant car seat allows your child to enjoy a comfortable ride and be secure in the event of a crash. The seat has a soft headrest, a cushion for body support and an EPS energy-absorbing foam to protect your child from any impact. The seat is equipped with five points of safety harness that can be tightened with one pull and a front-center adjuster. This will ensure that your child is in the right position. A retractable sun canopy helps shield your child from the sun. The seat can be locked to the vehicle seat belt to ensure security. It also comes with an locking clip that keeps the buckle in place when the seat isn't in use.
If your infant complains of discomfort while traveling or appears to slouch forward during sleep or sleeping, the seat's angle may be too low for your child. You can correct this by placing tightly rolled towels underneath the front of the car seat to lift it higher. If this isn't working, take your baby to Rockridge Kids and we will examine the angle of the car seat.
Remember that children should not face forward until they weigh at minimum 20 pounds and are a year old. Their necks are not strong enough to withstand the force of a crash, if they were to be thrown to the side on their own. Some experts suggest staying a bit longer, because the bones and muscles of children are more flexible.
Many parents opt to purchase convertible car seats that allows their children to move rearwards until they reach maximum weight or height limits. This lets parents enjoy the benefits of a rear-facing seat for a longer amount of time. It is also easier for them as they can easily switch their child's position from rear-facing to forward-facing when their child is out of it.
