Rear Facing Infant Car Seat

A rear-facing infant seat suppresses the force of impact in a crash and shields your child's neck and head. They also prevent your child's legs from striking the front of the carseat during a crash, which could cause serious injuries or even death.

All infants and toddlers should be rear-facing until they reach the weight or height limit of their car seat's manufacturer. This includes infant car seats and convertible seats.

Rear-facing infant car seats are specifically designed for newborns and smaller infants.

A rear facing infant car seat is a kind of child car seat that only has an rear-facing position. These seats are designed to accommodate infants and small children usually up to 35 pounds. They also have a narrower base than other car seats. They are ideal for cars with small trunks and help to save space on the back of the seat. The majority of car seats for infants can be transformed into strollers, making traveling with a child more convenient.

Rear-facing infant newborn car seat insert seats are recommended for babies and infants born prior to 37 weeks gestation. They offer more room and a better fit than standard car seats which can be difficult for a tiny baby to get in and out of. The infant car seat gives more head and cervical support than a forward-facing car seat. This can protect preemies or smaller babies in the event of a collision.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children remain in the rear until they attain the maximum weight and height for their car seat, or around two years old. This is based on the fact that there is more time for the spine of the child to develop strength in this position, which could protect against spinal injuries. 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. If a child is sitting in a seat that faces forward, their heads can be placed in the console or dashboard of the vehicle, which can cause serious injury.

Many parents believe that their child is ready for a booster or forward-facing seat at the age of two. This is a major mistake. It is safer for kids to stay rear facing in their car seat until they reach three or four years old, according to recent studies published in BMJ Injury Prevention. The longer a child remains rear-facing in their car seat, the more likely it is that their cervical vertebrae will grow and ossify.

Installation and removal is easy.

The majority of rear facing infant car seats come with an easy-to-install base that can be placed in your vehicle and is easily removed when no longer needed. This feature is practical and allows parents to secure their child in the seat without having to get out of the vehicle, particularly during bad weather or during nights when it can be difficult. It is also simple to change between vehicles and give grandparents or other caregivers access to the child's car seat.

When your child has outgrown their car seat for infants in height and weight then it's time to transition to a booster or convertible. It is important to keep in mind that children are safer if they ride rear-facing as long as they can. In fact, it is advised by a number of safety experts to have children use rear-facing car seats until their second birthday or when they reach the height and weight limit set by the car seat manufacturer.

In a frontal collision, a baby in a rear-facing car seat absorbs the majority of the impact force absorbing it at the head, neck and the spine. However, when the child is facing forward their head is thrown forward due to the force of the crash and can stretch their spinal cord, causing serious injury or even 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 could interfere with the tightness of the harness. Make sure that the chest clip sits flat against their shoulder and that the harness straps are tight with no slack.

Many child safety experts believe that if children sit in rear-facing car seats for longer and are five times more protected in the event of a crash. In an accident, the heads of children - which are disproportionately larger than their bodies can be thrown around with force that is not absorption by their necks and their torsos. With rear-facing seats the head of a child is supported by the seat's headrest and cradled by their backs in an accident, shielding them from the most severe injuries.

They safeguard the neck and head of your child.

If a child is 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 crash. In a frontal accident (the most common) infants who are in car seats that face forward are thrown against the dashboard. This can result in neck injuries or even death. Children in rear-facing seats are cradled and padded by their car seat's back, while their heads are supported by the headrest.

Infants can also breathe much more easily when they're in a rear-facing car seat because their chins are placed against their chest. In forward-facing car seats, the chin can be pushed down and this can make it difficult for children to breathe. In fact, kids who doze in a car seat that is forward-facing are 75% more likely suffer head injury than those who doze in a rear-facing car seat.

A baby's spine and brain are still developing. This makes them more prone to crashes. In a forward-facing crash an infant's head can hit the dashboard or buckle of the seat belt, and this could cause a stretch in their spinal cord, causing serious injury or even death. This is why it's important to ensure your child is in a rear-facing car seat for as long as is possible, until they reach the height and weight limit of the car seat they're in.

Some infant car seats have a special insert to support the head of the baby. This can be removed after the child is no longer using it. In addition, many car seats come with load leg or anti-rebound bar features that help absorb the force of the crash. This is important as it helps reduce the impact on your child, and could even stop the child from being ejected.

The recommendation from NHTSA is to keep your child in an infant car seat that faces rearwards until they reach the height and weight limit of their car seat. When they do then, they should move to a convertible car seat or all-in-one car seat which can be used with rear-facing and later converted to forward-facing as they get bigger.

They are easy to clean.

Whether you buy an infant car seat that attaches to a base inside your vehicle or a convertible or all-in one car seat that are all designed to be easy and quick removal. Often, they can also snap directly into frame strollers and travel infant car seat systems to run errands while on the move, which makes life so much simpler! These seats are also easy to clean. Many have machine-washable covers and parts that are removable and can be washed in the washer and dried. This is particularly important since children can be messy!

In the case of an accident, the rear-facing position will cradle a child's neck and head. This is especially crucial for children who are just starting out. Their heads are full of cartilage, and their spinal cords are more flexible than adults. During a crash, their head might snap backward and stretch their spinal cords, result in serious injuries. Many car safety experts suggest that children stay rear-facing for as long as is possible.

It's tempting to move your child from a front-facing seat to a booster once they are ready, but every switch decreases their safety in a crash. In a frontal crash, the child's head would be thrown to the side and could possibly hit the dashboard or plastic shell. This increases the chance of injury. Idealy, children should ride backwards until they reach the maximum weight of their rear-facing car seat or the height limit, or until 2 years of age.

If you're not sure if your child should be moving out of the rear-facing seat, contact a CPST certified person in your area for advice.
