Making the right choice when buying a child seat

The first thing to consider when buying a baby car seat is safety! The seat must be appropriate for your babies size and weight. It must also fit correctly into your car. Most retailers are more than happy to give a demonstration and test the seat in your car before you buy.

Even children up to the age of eleven who are not five feet tall must use a child seat of some sort.

Once you have decided on a particular car seat make sure you follow the manufacturer’s instructions to the letter. Always allow enough time as fitting a child seat can be very frustrating. Also when it comes to strapping your child in the straps are tight enough to stop the child wriggling free but not too tight to cause the child injury or discomfort. Always give the straps a tug to make sure the seatbelt has locked.

Child Seat Age and Weight Guide

Baby Seats

Babies weighing up to 13kgs and from birth up to one year should be fitted with a baby seat. Baby seats must face backwards and can be installed in either the front or back seats providing the front is not fitted with an airbag.

Child Car Seats

Child car seats are for children aged 9 months to four years. The child must be able to support their own head and weigh between 9 and 18kgs. They face forward and are normally fitted in the back seat of the car.

Booster Seats and Cushions

These types of seats are for children weighing 15 to 36kgs aged approximately 4 to 11 years old. They are primarily designed to elevate the child in order they can safely use an adult seat belt.

Finally and one of the most important aspects to remember is not to get distracted by your child whilst driving.

In the event the child needs attention pull over to a safe location before dealing with the situation.
