How to choose?

There are helpful recommendations from professionals, that will help parents choose a reliable car seat that can guarantee complete safety for the child.

  • First you need to think about how much time the child will be in the car. If the trips are short, it is better to buy a car seat group 0+. If long trips are planned, and the baby is less than six months, group 0 is the best option.
  • If the parents decide to buy the design of the group 0, it is necessary to pay attention to the belts inside it, as well as to the lining, located on them in the zones of the shoulders and neck. If they are thin and solid, the child will be uncomfortable. Additional protection should be placed around the baby’s head.
  • It is worth checking the buckle for reliability. It should be fastened so that the child could not get rid of him on their own.
  • Where there is a lock-buckle, should be a strip of matter. The dense and wide lining allows parents not to worry about the fact that in case of an accident the lock can injure the child’s belly.
  • If the chair is installed in the front seat, you need to get rid of the airbag by turning it off, as it can be the main cause of injury to the baby.
  • Car seat group 0+ should be located against the course of the movement. This is really important, as the musculoskeletal tissue of the infant’s neck is weak. When the baby's neck becomes stronger and he can sit still, then the restriction can be lifted.

If parents need to purchase a cheaper but high-quality model, they should pay attention to the brands Lorelly, Nania I-MAX SP Luxe. They have an affordable price. More nice options are Baby Taurus Deluxe designs. The average price is of high-quality, comfortable and safe models of the brands Inglesina Marco Polo, Chicco Eletta.

It is important to remember that choosing a car seat is really a responsible and important matter. Because what kind of model parents purchased, will depend on the life and health of the baby. Do not save and buy low-quality goods that can not protect a child from a variety of hazards. It is better to buy an expensive but good thing and not worry about the safety of children's health.
