Choosing a Car Seat for Baby

There are two types of car seats to choose from: an infant car seat and a

convertible car seat. Infant car seats fit babies more snuggly during their first year,

while convertible seats are a more long-term investment, as they can transform

from a rear-facing seat for babies to a forward-facing car seat for children.




Check the NHTSA Rating

The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) uses a

five-star rating system to help parents find the right car seat. This rating system

is based on the safety of the car seat, as well as how easy it is to install.




Register Your Car Seat

As a parent, your baby’s

safety always comes first.

Hence, you’d want to be the

first to know if your car seat

has been recalled due to a

safety-related defect. Staying

informed is easy: Simply

mail in the card that came

with your car seat or fill

out a form on the

manufacturer’s website.




Learn By Seeing, Then By Doing

Watching a video of a proper

car seat installation can help

provide you with guidance. This

video from Baby Center shows

how one mother of three,

including a 7-week-old

daughter, teamed up with the

Chester County Sheriff's office

in Pennsylvania to properly

install her infant car seat.

Installing the Car Seat

Follow your car seat’s instruction manual, as well as your

vehicle owner’s manual, to ensure a proper installation. Infant car

seats should always be rear-facing and installed in the back seat.




Get a Safety Check from an Expert

Many fire departments,

police stations and child

safety coalitions will provide

free car seat inspections.
