Along
with the joy of a new baby in the family comes the natural
instinct to protect our infant. We are all familiar with
the risks involved in riding in a car or van, and take steps to
stay safe. However, with an infant, we need to be extra
vigilant. Even a small fender bender, or just a close call
with a sudden stop could prove to be devastating to a child or
baby that is not properly restrained in a car seat.
Most
state laws require that the first 6 to 12 months (depending on
weight and state) a child should be secured in a rear facing car
seat or infant carrier. Choosing the right car seat for
your loved one doesn't have to be too difficult. Here are
a few things to keep in mind:
-
Even a rear
facing car seat should never be placed in the front seat of
a vehicle.
-
For any car
seat (rear or forward facing) to be effective, the straps
should be adjusted properly.
-
You should
never purchase a used car seat.
-
A car seat
that has been in an accident (even low to medium impact)
should be discarded.
