How to Pick a Kids Car Seat

!±8± How to Pick a Kids Car Seat

Car seats are lifesavers. They are designed to keep your most precious cargo safe in the event of an accident. According to the National Safe Kids Campaign the seats reduce the risk of death of infants by 71% and by 54% for children age one to four. With numbers like that it is pretty obvious why kid's seats are mandatory in most states.

Choosing the right one can be tricky because there are so many choices available if you are in the market for a new car seat. Here are a few features you may want to look for in a car seat.

The first is a 5 point harness experts agree that this type of harness will keep your child the safest because it highly reduces the change of ejection from the vehicle in the event of an accident. This type of harness has two belts that go over the shoulder that come together at the bottom and clip into a buckle between the child's legs.

Front harness adjustments are also a feature that will save you a lot of time and aggravation. It seems especially when our children are little they grow like weeds. One day you put them in the seat and everything is fine and the next you are struggling to get the belts around them. Front harness adjustments allow you to simply pull a lever located in the front of the seat and gently tug each belt out a little more.

Car seats with bases are also a godsend with infants. The last thing you want to do is have to wake up your baby that fell asleep in the car to run into the grocery store. With this type of seat you simply pull the latch and the whole carrier comes out. The other great thing about this set up is these seats are versatile. You will find you can place them right inside the buggy at the supermarket or rest it perfectly on an upside down highchair in a restaurant.

It is recommended that you never buy a used seat. Most experts agree that after a car seat has been in an accident it should be replaced so if you are buying used you just do not know the history and the seat could be faulty. Also always check recalls before you make a purchase to make sure your kids car seat is safe.

High Chair, Booster Seat and Hook-on Seat Safety

!±8± High Chair, Booster Seat and Hook-on Seat Safety

Once your child is able to sit up on its own and is starting to eat baby food you can begin sitting them in a high chair at feeding time. High chairs come in many different colors, styles and brands so you can often find one that can match your child's décor or even the décor of your own home. As your child gets bigger and older you can also use booster seats and hook-on seats which are great for taking to restaurants, grandparents and on trips.

 Safety Tips for using high chairs, boosters and hook-on seats:

 High Chairs and Booster Seats

Never leave your baby unattended while they are in a high chair. Curious children will often try to stand up which can cause an unnecessary fall. Always make sure that the straps that hold your little one in the chair are properly secured and fastened. Keep all eating trays clean and sterilized. Always make sure that slide off trays are snapped into their proper position. If they are not the baby could climb or lean forward and fall out. Also, make sure their fingers are out of the way when you attach the trays so you don't smash their little fingers. Make sure that the chair is not near anything that your child could use as leverage to push off from and tip the high chair backwards. Also make sure it is not near anything that a child could grab or touch that could hurt them like a light switch, receptacle or cooking utensil.
Hook-On Seats

When you use a hook-on seat make sure to hook it to a wooden or metal table and make sure it is very secure. Never attach it to a glass table. If you use place mats on tables make sure that they do not interfere with the grips that hold the chair to the table securely.

Popular high chair brands for kids are Chicco, Cosco, Eddie Bauer, Evenflo Fisher-Price, Graco, Peg Perego,  and Stokke.
