Child Car Seat Safety:
We know you love your children, but so many people do not follow these simple car seat safety principles. By following these easy steps you can ensure your child is completely safe in your car. Just to get one thing straight, there is no one best child car safety seat. The best car safety seat is determined by various factors that you as the parent need to take into consideration. The seat needs to fit your child's height and weight, as well as be able to fit properly in your car.
Another common misconception is price. More expensive, does not always mean better quality or the seat is better safety wise.
The first step of proper car seat safety is of course determined by the age of your child. Any child that is under the age of twelve should be kept in the back seat of a vehicle. This is especially true if your car has passenger side air bags.
Infants should be in a rear facing car seat until they are at least one year old and twenty pounds. After they are twenty pounds they can be placed in a front facing car safety seat until they are around forty pounds or they have reached the maximum height recommended for the specific car safety seat in question.
Once a child reaches forty pounds, they should be placed on a belt positioning booster seat. The vehicle's normal seat belt should not be used until they are around eighty pounds or 4ft 9 inches tall.
As always read your car's owners manual as well and any manuals with the car safety seat.
Additional Car Safety Tips:
Most accidents that occur over a parent/child incident occur when a parent is trying to turn around and discipline their child. Think about it, you are taking you eyes as well as you mind off of the primary task at hand (driving) and exclusively focusing on your child who should be, and usually is behind you in the back seat of the vehicle.
To prevent this the best thing to do if you must discipline your child is to find a place to pull over and do so then, when you are not moving.
