Safety for your infant when in a car is very important. There are all sorts of infant car seats out there so what should you look for in a car seat. Which one should I choose? Well this hub should help with some tips on what to look for in an infant car seat.

A seat that is easy to install and use will be the best for you and your child. Find and read the instruction booklet. Look for a convertible seat that has a higher weight limit in the rear-facing position if your baby is less than 1 year and over 20 lbs. Try locking and releasing the buckle in the store. Try changing the length of the straps. Some harnesses adjust automatically to fit the child. Many can be adjusted easily from the front or the side. Others have a metal adjustment slide through which you must pull the straps. If the seat has a metal slide adjustor, you must thread the strap up and down through the openings, then back through the first slot to "lock" it every time you adjust the harness. This keeps the strap from pulling through the slide in a crash, which would allow the child to be thrown out. Try the seat in your vehicle. Most safety seats fit better into some vehicles than others. Cars with bucket seats or small rear seats may present problems.
