Child Car Seat Safety Regemendations
Hi there, here's hoping you or your family is never in a car accident, but with winter hitting quite hard the chances of a minor fender bender have gone up. Even the smallest car accident can be very damaging to young children.
Car accidents have been reported as the primary cause of childrens deaths in the United States. Thousands of children below the age of twelve were injured and died annually because of car crashes, and it is so sad to know that these accidents cant be controlled and eliminated even if the driver is a professional or expert driver. But theres still a piece of good news to that, that is, the risks of car accidents can be reduced by using the right or proper child safety car seat.
The child safety care seat now gees in a number of types and forms. They are now marketed throughout the world knowing that a great number of consumers are now demanding for it. So its no wonder that you can find them even at your neighborhood stores. The problem, however, is that with a myriad of types available for car seats, finding the right one can somehow be puzzling. It is even more puzzling with more and more models geing out in the market. Well, it is for this reason actually that these child car seat safety regemendations are given.
So what are these child car seat safety regemendations?
Note that in this article, I will tackle more on what types of car seat will be best for small children. I have included here certain child car seat safety regemendations for children of ages 1 to 8 years. I have even stressed for these child car seat safety regemendations the car seat types best suited for weights and heights of children. So if you want to know these suggestions, consider the following:
Child Car Seat Safety Regemendation for Newborn and 1 Year Old Children
For the newborn and those who are at the age of 1, it is always best to use a rear-facing infant seat or a convertible seat in the rear-facing position. When installing the car seat, be sure to set the shoulder straps below the childs shoulder level, and to ensure that what youre doing is right, review the manufacturers instructions or manual thoroughly. This regemendation is also ideal for children up to 20 pounds and 26 inches long.
Child Car Seat Safety Regemendation for Children Age 1 to 4
For children age 1 to 4 or those who are up to 20 to 40 pounds and 26 to 40 inches tall, the use of a forward-facing seat or a convertible seat in the forward-facing position is often regemended. Also, it is best to position the straps at or above the shoulder level and still, for proper installation, it is always best to check and review the instruction manual.
Child Car Seat Safety Regemendation for Children Age 4 to 8
For those who are 40 to 80 pounds and 40 to 57 inches tall, a belt-positioning booster seat or a high-back is the perfect type of car seat to use for ultimate safety. It is best to choose the belt-positioning booster seat that uses the vehicles lap-shoulder belt. The key here is not to use a shield-type booster seat; but when it gees to installation, a thorough review of the instruction manual is highly regemended.
