Rear Facing Infant Car Seat

A rear-facing infant seat suppresses the force of an impact in a crash and shields your child's head and neck. In a crash, they also protect your child's legs hitting the front of the car seat. This can result in serious injuries, or even death.

All infants and toddlers must ride rear-facing, until they reach the maximum weight or height of the car seat manufacturer. This includes both convertible seats and special infant car seats.

Rear-facing infant car seat is specifically designed for newborns and infants who are smaller.

A rear-facing infant car seat is a type of child seat that is only rearward-facing position. These seats are designed specifically for infants and small babies generally up to 35 pounds. They also have a narrower base than other types of car seats. They are perfect for cars with small spaces and can make it easier to store them on the back of the car. Many infant carrier seat car seats can be transformed into strollers, making traveling with a child simpler.

Rear-facing infant car seats are also recommended for babies and preemies born prior to 37 weeks gestation. They are more spacious and offer more comfort than standard car seats which can be difficult for a very small baby to get into and out of. The infant car seat also provides more neck and head support than a standard front-facing car seat, which can help to protect preemies and infants from injury in a crash.

The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that children remain rear-facing until they reach their maximum weight and height for the car seat or at around two years old. This is based on the fact that there is more time for the child's spine to strengthen in this position, which can protect against injuries to the spine. It is important to keep in mind that children and infants are more likely to suffer severe injuries when facing forward.

In the event of an accident the rear-facing seat absorbs the bulk of the impact, shielding the baby's neck, head, and spine. When a child sits in a chair that faces forward, their heads may be dropped into the console or dashboard of the vehicle, causing serious injuries.

Many parents think that their child is ready for a booster or forward-facing seat around the age of two. This is a big mistake. It is safer for children to stay rear facing in their car seats until they reach three or four years old, based on recent studies published in BMJ Injury Prevention. The longer a child stays rear-facing in their car seat the more likely that their cervical vertebrae will grow and become ossified.

They are easy to install and remove.

The majority of rear-facing infant car seats have a snap-on base which can be removed from the vehicle when not in use. This is a convenient feature that lets parents secure the child in their seat without getting out of the vehicle, particularly during bad weather or night when it is more difficult. It also makes it easy to switch between cars and to give grandparents and other caregivers access to the child's seat.

If your child has outgrown their car seat for infants, either in terms of height or weight then it's time to upgrade to a booster or convertible. It's important to keep it in mind that children are safer when they ride rear-facing as long as is possible. Many safety experts recommend that children remain rear-facing in their car seats until their second birthday or the maximum weight and height limit set by the manufacturer of the car seat.

In a frontal collision infants in a rear-facing car seat absorbs most of the impact force absorbing it at the head, neck and spine. When children ride forward-facing, their head is moved forward by the force of the collision and could stretch their spinal cord and cause serious injury or death.

If you are worried about your child’s comfort when rear-facing, keep them warm by wrapping them in a blanket. Avoid placing a loose blanket behind or under them. Also, be cautious about dressing them in bulky clothes that might interfere with the tightness of the harness. Make sure that the chest clip sits flat against their shoulder and that the harness straps are snug with no looseness.

Many child safety experts believe that if children are in rear-facing car seats for a longer period of time, they'll be five times more secure in a crash. This is because in a crash, children' heads are large for their bodies - may be thrown forward with force that is normally taken up by their torsos and necks. With rear-facing seats the head of a child is cushioned by the seat's headrest and cradled by their backs during the event of a crash, shielding them from the most severe injuries.

They protect your child's neck and head.

When an infant is riding in a rear-facing car seat, their neck and spinal cord are cradled against the back of the safety seat in the event of a collision. In a frontal collision (the most frequent), infants in car seats that face forward are thrown against the dashboard. This can result in neck injuries, or even death. Infants in rear-facing cars are held by the back of their car seat and their heads are cushioned and supported by the headrest.

Infants can also breathe much easier when they are in a rear-facing car seat because their chins are placed against their chest. When children are in forward-facing car seats their chins are frequently pushed down and this could block their airways and make it difficult for them to breathe. In reality, children who lie down in a forward-facing car seat are 75% more likely be injured in the head than those who sleep in a rear-facing car seat.

The brain and spine of a newborn car seat insert are still developing. This makes them more prone to a crash. In the event of a crash that involves an infant positioned forward, the head of the child can hit the buckle on the dashboard or the seat belt. This can cause the spinal cord to become stretched, which can result in serious injury or even death. This is why it's important to ensure your child is in the rear-facing car seat for as long as is possible, until they've reached the height and weight limit of their infant car seat.

Some infant car seat in front seat car seats have an insert specifically designed to support a baby's head. When a child has outgrown the insert, it can be removed. In addition, many car seats come with load leg or anti-rebound bar features that can help absorb the energy of an accident. This is crucial since it minimizes the impact on your child and could even keep him from being ejected.

The recommendation of NHTSA is to keep your child in an infant car seat that faces rearwards until they reach the height and weight limit for their specific car seat. Then, they can transition to a convertible or an all-in-one car seat. These seats can be used rear-facing and then changed to forward-facing once they reach a certain age.

They are easy to clean.

No matter if you choose an infant car seat that attaches to a base in your vehicle or a convertible or all-in one car seat that are all designed to be easy and quick removal. They can often be clicked directly into travel systems and strollers to run errands while on the move. These seats are easy to clean. Many have machine-washable covers and removable parts that can be cleaned in the washing machine and dried. This is essential, particularly when you have children who are messy.

The position that is rear facing is where a child's head is cradled in the neck in the event of a collision that is crucial for children who are just starting out. Their heads are full of cartilage and their spinal cords are more flexible than adult ones. During a collision their head can be able to snap backwards and stretch their spinal cords, result in severe injuries. This is one reason why many auto safety experts suggest keeping children rear-facing as long as possible.

Although it's tempting to move your child into booster seats when they seem ready, every car seat that is front-facing reduces the amount of protection they'll receive in the event of a crash. In a frontal crash the child's head could be dropped to the side and possibly strike the dashboard or plastic shell. This increases the chance of injuries. Ideally, kids should be rear-facing until they reach the maximum rear-facing weight or height limit for their seat or until they're 2 years old.

If you're not sure whether your child is moving out of a rear-facing seat, ask an CPST certified local to your area for advice. They can assist you in determining the appropriate age at which your child can turn around, and make sure they're riding properly and safely in their seat.

Many parents mistakenly assume their child is outgrowing their car seat when they reach the maximum rear-facing height or weight limit. There are a myriad of aspects to take into consideration, including the size of your car as well as the unique shape of your child. A lot of infant car seats have built-in indicators that let you know when your child's neck is no more over the top of the seat. For more information on safe reclining, check the manual for your car seat and the owner's guide of your vehicle.
