installing infant car seat!
we've a pass-me down infant car seat from my colleague, and it's a almost brand-new condition! ;)
but Jason and i are pretty clueless on how to do the proper set-up!
the only thing we know is that it has to be rear-facing, so i asked him to go watch some online youtube so that we can try setting up...
we have bought a car seat, meant for use when Kadelyn is about 4mths...
initially we didnt know that we've to use a infant car seat till my fren told me that that it's bcoz babies need to lie in a recline position..
just for sharing:
Choosing to buy an infant car seat carrier would include considering the following factors:
Infant Car Seat Carrier Size
The size of the infant car seat should be considered since not all of them can fit into just any car seat. Make sure that there is enough space not only for the infant car seat to fit into but also has enough room in between the back of the car seat and the front driver seat.
Type Of Harness Used
The harness of the infant car seat carrier ensures that the baby is securely and safely seated. What parents should look for is an infant car seat that employs a 5-point harness. This is a type of harness that provide harness straps to restrain both shoulders, both hips and the crotch. This is considered a better choice than the 3-point harness type that only provides restraint for the shoulders and with the harness being clipped at the crotch area.
Carrier Weight
Although not as important in terms of how the infant car seat carrier may perform, the weight does matter to the parent who might also be using it to carry a baby outside. If so, parent should try to choose a lighter carrier that also offers optimum safety and protection for the infant.
Head And Side Impact Protection
Added protection for the head area may be something to look for in good infant car seats. Look also for those that might offer added cushioning for the baby in case of accidents.
shall setup the infant carseat tis weekend! ;)
