How To Secure Your Baby In A Rear Facing Child Safety Seat

How can I secure my baby in a rear-facing seat?

Another feature of many infant-only seats is that they snap in and out of a separate base. If you are going to use that type of seat, be sure you hear it click into position and you test it to make sure it's in there tightly. Also, read the instructions to find out where the handle belongs while the seat is being used in the vehicle. For some, it can only be lying back, behind the child's head or down toward the floor of the vehicle, but on some models, it may be fully upright. There are even some models on which it must be upright. How do you know? You must read the instructions for the particular safety seat. It is very important. Safety seats are tested in a thirty mile an hour crash test in the way that they are designed to be used. If you choose to modify, you have now potentially detracted from the safety of your child, and that is not something you want to do.
