Baby and Infant Car Seat News, Advice, And Unbiased Reviews

Once your child outgrows their child safety seat it's time for a booster seat. But how can you tell if your child has outgrown the safety seat?

Age is not the best determining factor but a rule of thumb is about age 4.

Size is a better judge, so at 40 pounds your child should be using a booster seat.
The different types of booster seat you will most likely run into are:

• High back booster seat
• No-back booster
• Convertible seat
• Overlap seat
• Integrated seat

When picking a booster compare it to the models side by side so you can see the differences. Remember safety is your number one concern so never buy used. Also make sure you understand the directions and that it is put in correctly. Make sure it fits in your car. And that the child is conferrable in it. A crying kid in a car can be tough for parents and the child.

A booster chair can last until the child is 8 or about 4 feet and 9 inches tall before they use a safety strap. So your investment will be for 4 years. The cost can be anywhere from $50 to $200 dollars. We have seen leather ones that can cost as much as $290. How much should you pay? I would pay as much as I could for safety. $300 dollars over 4 years is about 8 bucks a month that's less than the coffee you get at your local coffee hut in a week. Just do your research and make sure you have a 30 day return on anything that you buy just in case the child hates it.

 New parents who drive will have to buy a child safety seat for their infant.  New parents often get infant seats or convertible safety seats from relatives as a gift.  The infant child safety seats are the ones that you carry to the car and you carry out of the car.  The connivance is that you get to carry it in the house with out having to get the child out or in.

Remember the most important thing when picking a convertible infant safety seat is safety.  You want to make sure that you can install it properly in the car and that the baby fits into it comfortably.  There are several models to choose from price ranges from 25 dollars up to 100. 

After your child outgrows their infant car seat then it is time to move to a booster.  You have many choices when it comes to booster chairs for babies.  The common ones are high back booster, no-back or low back boosters, and overlap seat and a intergraded seat.

A good rule of thumb is age 4. Your child should be in a booster.  40 pounds or greater. 

Things to remember safety first not cost.  Buy the best safety child seat you can afford.  Do you need the leather booster with cup holders?  I don't know I like mine but you do have to pay for those extras.  And come to think about it I have yet to use those darn cup holders.
