Safety Comes First!
By Ingrid Sure
Did you know that every state does have a seat law? State laws may vary on seats in their details, however, in all cases, it is illegal (and unsafe) for children to ride in the front seat of the car. Some require toddlers up to the age of six to be in a seat. Others permit use of a 'booster' seat when the child reaches the appropriate age. Regardless of the state law where you live, protecting our loved ones with a new seat makes sense!

New design laws require that the back seats of cars come equipped with a latching system. Minimum requirements call for a latch in the back of the seat (a belt attaches to the back of the seat and runs up over the back of the seat - usually under the headrest). This belt has a latch or hook that fastens to the lower part of the seat. The other two hooks or latch points are located at the back of the seat - in the space between the back rest and the seat, or sometime in the seat itself with small cut outs for access.

Nowadays, many parents like to buy their infant seat as part of a travel system with a matching stroller or other accessories. It's fine to buy the seat this way, just be sure your focus is on finding the seat that best fits your vehicle and is easy to use, and not on finding the prettiest pattern.

When considering any infant seat, be sure to check the weight. Most infant car seats will accomodate a baby up to 20 pounds, but some infant seats have a slightly higher weight limit, which can extend the useable life of the seat. Pay attention to the height limit and watch your baby carefully in the infant seat, as it is outgrown by height when the top of baby's head is within an inch of the top of the shell.
