Today, dear readers, we are going to talk about the question that every parent is concerned about: at what age can a baby start sitting in a car seat?It's not just a matter of safety, it's a matter of growth.
First of all, we have to understand that a safety seat is not a "luxury", but a "necessity" for the baby's travel safety. In our country, the use of child safety seats by infants and young children when riding in cars has become a legal law. So, the question is: from what age should your baby start in a safety seat?
The answer is actually quite simple: it is needed from birth!Yes, you heard it right. When a newborn is discharged from the hospital, he or she should be safely taken home in a special infant safety seat. However, there is a small detail to note here – the car seat used by newborns is different from that used by older babies. For newborns, what they need is "Stroller basket type"A car seat, which allows babies to lie down, is more suitable for their fragile spine and neck.
As your baby grows, the type of car seat and the way you sit will change. When your baby is about 9 months old or weighs 9 kg, it can be converted into a forward-facing child safety seat. Of course, the timing of this transition varies depending on your baby's weight and height, and it's important to make sure the seat properly protects your baby's head, neck, and spine.
It is worth mentioning that even when the baby grows up, there is no rush to abandon the car seat. According to expert advice, a suitable child safety seat should be used at least until your baby reaches a height of 135 cm or reaches the age of 12 years.
When choosing the right safety seat, there are a few points to pay attention to: first, choose a product that meets the best standards;Second, install and use the car seat correctly;Finally, make sure that your baby is in the correct position in the seat and that the harness is not loose or twisted.
Dear moms and dads, a baby car seat is not just an item, it's a sign of love. Let's give our babies the most thoughtful protection from the moment they are born. After all, the safety and health of our babies is our greatest wish.
