An infant car seat is used for babies who weigh up to 35 or 40 pounds and who have are up to 32 or 35 inches tall. Infant child car seats only face the rear of the car.
As you try to sift through all the car seats out generally there you may start asking yourself, why do I want a child car seat in the first place? The response is simple. The American School of Pediatrics recommends almost all infants and toddlers remain rear-facing until they are at least 2 years old, or until they reach the height and fat requirements for their specific car seat.
These days, though, you can choose to buy an infant car seat that’s only rear-facing, or acquire a convertible car seat that enables extended rear-facing capacity and can grow with baby. Decisions, decisions!
Your mission: to find the best infant car seat for baby. Finding the best infant car seat is like searching for the very best car for your family. Some new parents may get overwhelmed with all the different models of infant car seats-convertible car seats, light-weight car seats, car seats for small cars-the list goes on and on. Aren’t all child car seats created equally? The simple answer is no. And understanding the best from the rest can help you on your search for the best infant car seat .
