Guide to Choosing the Right Car Seat for your Infant

February 3, 2022 by Annie

As a new parent, you are going to invest in various things. But the most important one will be a car seat for your little one. This is one of the best life purchases that you will ever make for them. They are nothing less than a life savior as they protect your kid during accidents and other car mishaps.

Types of Car Seats:

There are 3 basic types of car seats for infants and toddlers:

  • Forward-facing car seat
  • Rear-facing car seat
  • Convertible car seat

To begin with, you need a rear-facing car seat for your toddler. This is great for them until they exceed the height and weight that is best suitable for the seat. This seat can be used for up to 2 years. As they grow, you can invest in forward-facing or convertible car seats, with changing needs. You can easily get a variety of safe and wonderfully built car seats at Maxi-Cosi New Zealand or other sources online.

Car Seat for your Infant; Multi-Purpose, Specific Car Seat

Shopping for a car seat for your infant? Here is what you need to know.

Infant car seats are suitable for kids up to 20 or a maximum of 22 pounds. They are extremely lightweight and super portable. Infant car seats also come in the form of a carrier; they act as 2-in-1. It is easy to remove from the car and if your baby has fallen asleep, it wouldn’t budge him either. They also click into a stroller. Thus, they are quite convenient and multi-purpose. Look for various features whilst buying an infant car seat.

Convertible Car Seats; Last Longer

Many people opt for convertible seats from the beginning as they go on for years. However, it is important to know that convertible car seats do not fit an infant inside properly. It is best to buy infant car seats for your infant and then upgrade with their age and weight requirements.

However, convertible car seats aren’t a bad option. They can be converted into a rear and forward-facing seat at any time. But it is crucial to choose a convertible seat very wisely. Read through the height and weight requirements before investing in one. Check it practically by placing your baby in it. If it seems fit, get it.

Furthermore, convertible seats are not portable. Once they are fixed in the car, they cannot be removed. You have to move the baby in and out of it. Thus, make a choice that suits your specific needs and requirements.

CONCLUSION

If you are looking for a car seat that will last you for the years to come, then a convertible seat is the best as it can be converted into a rear and forward-facing seat. However, if you are looking for a multi-purposes seat for your toddler, then a specific infant car seat would be best. Choose according to your requirements.
