Every parent knows that a child car seat is a must in the car, because it ensures the safety of the child while driving. That is why it is necessary with special responsibility to approach the choice of this restraining device, so that the baby is as comfortable as possible in it, and the traffic police inspectors do not make claims.
Instructions
Step 1
Be sure to weigh your child before going to the store to shop. This is very important because all the chairs are divided into specific groups, and if you know the exact weight of the baby, you can easily find the right chair for him. You can determine the group using a special table or by consulting with a specialist in the store.
Step 2
When choosing a car seat, consider how long the child will spend in it. It should be comfortable and it is desirable that the backrest tilt is also regulated in it - in case the baby wants to sleep. As for convenience, this is also a very important criterion, since in an uncomfortable seat the child will be capricious and distract the driver. Therefore, it is better if he sits in several car seats you like before buying.
Step 3
If the car seat is equipped with an internal harness, be sure to check the fabric pad that connects all belts in the baby's crotch area. It should be sufficiently elastic and wide, since in the event of a frontal impact, this place will have a significant load, which can injure the child.
Step 4
Find out what material your car seat is made of and if it can be removed for washing. Pay attention to the accessories included in the kit, whether there are covers for the front seats among them so that the child does not stain them with shoes, as well as sun blinds.
Step 5
Try to install your chosen car seat in the car, but before that, study the product data sheet, as some of them have a design that is not suitable for all cars. Make sure the seat belt is long enough to secure the seat. Ask a consultant to show you the correct way to attach the car seat itself and the child in it.
