An infant car seat is designed for newborns up to approximately 15 months or until the reach a weight of around 29lbs. These are rear facing seats and the baby faces the back of the car. The importance of a child car seat is to protect your baby in case of an accident. The rear facing style car seat is designed to spread any impact across the strongest part of a baby’s body which is their back.
These seats have a 3 point safety harness and it is secured with the car seat belt. The seats are portable so that you can transport your child without waking them.
