A guide to buying child safety seats

Whilst driving in a motorised vehicle with an infant, it is important to have a secure and stable safety seat available. The two major conditions of car safety for young children are the weight and age requirements as well as seat requirements. Here is a guide to help you to buy the best child safety seat to fit your child’s needs.

Child safety seats: "Weight and age requirements"

When considering to buy a child safety car seat, the most important factor is to find one that offers the most security and protection for your infant. A reputable and affordable English safety company called Britax, for example, offers high quality Britax baby seats for consumers. Prior to learning the requirements of child safety seats, it is advised that parents help to prevent tragedies by studying a manual or taking a class that discusses child car safety. Family-oriented car types with high safety ratings are recommended when choosing a vehicle with a safety seat inside. These average weight and age requirements offer an idea of what to look for when buying a safety seat for your child: · Infants under the age of one and weighing less than 35 pounds should only be in a rear-facing car seat in the back seat of the vehicle. · Children between the ages of one to four who weigh anywhere from 20 to 40 pounds can be in either high-back booster seats at the back of the vehicle or convertible forward-facing child safety seats. · Older children from ages four to eight should either be in a high-back or belt-buckled car booster seat in the back seat of the vehicle. Once children reach over four feet and nine inches, a booster seat is no longer needed.

Child safety seats: "Seat requirements"

After you’ve considered to purchase a safety child seat , such as the Britax Duo, remember to pay attention to the following before buying: · Look for any missing part or cracks that have been lost in shipping or handling. A faulty safety seat can be as dangerous as not having one at all. · See the instruction manual for details. Be sure that the safety seat comes with a detailed manual to help to prepare you on installation and maintenance. Do not lose it. · If you notice a safety seat tagged for crash victim, it is not advised to purchase it. You don’t want a used safety seat that’s been involved in an accident. · Make sure that there is a valid warranty on the safety seat. When the product is under warranty, you can return it in case of any issues and see how long it will last before replacement.
