Secure Your Baby's Future with Good Infant Car Seats

By Rochelle Normski

All seats available in the market are approved by federal regulations, meaning they are all basically safe for use... and yet, not all seats are equal! In some respects, certain seat models are superior to others, and then again, some seat models are superior to others of its type overall.

You need to take good care of your child seats so they will consistently serve you in top condition. From time to time, you will need to replace your infant car seat cover - say, when the covers finally become too badly worn or stained for further use.

The Child Safety Seat Ease of Use Rating is the virtual authority on the caliber of seats, as well as the usability of each standard seat feature. As of 2005 the NHTSA has five criteria for determining the Overall Ease of Use rating, all of which contribute to the total security of the seat: Assembly, Evaluation of Labels, Evaluation of Instructions, Installing Features, and Securing the Child.

Car seat safety ratings may also be defined by buyers - the people who have had the opportunity to use those seats. Online stores like Amazon.com come with extensive user reviews not only for books or movies, but also for everyday baby things like strollers.

"Active" colors like yellow and red inspire your baby to be more active physically and mentally, while "restful" colors like gray and blue make your baby more calm and thoughtful. Take this into consideration when choosing your infant seat covers! Having a rainbow of seat covers to choose from may make your trips more fun for yourself and your baby.

But best of all, online stores like Amazon.com allow a graphical rating system that gives the opinion of the buyer in a nutshell. Amazon currently uses the 5-star system, which posits that 5 stars is the absolute best review a person could give to a product, while half a star is the absolute worst. And when you want to know how well a product works for a consumer, no input is better than the one provided by a fellow buyer!

Worried about the time and money you'll spend changing car seats so many times over the years? Consider investing in a convertible car seat. These are seats that expand according to your child's age, which would allow them to virtually "grow" with your baby. Convertible seats are basically infant car seats, booster seats and tweenie seats all in one!

When dealing with things you have no prior knowledge of, it's important to keep your eyes and ears open for what the more experienced think. While you can easily ask for the man-on-the-street opinion, you can save yourself the trouble of introducing yourself to random strangers just to get their feedback on something specific, thanks to the Internet. On the Web is a grand array of customer feedback, even ratings on child safety gear like strollers, playpens and car seats. Car seat reviews in fact give the most useful advice you could find online and offline. - 21392
