Every baby will need to use baby car seats. You will need one for taking your baby home from the hospital in. The reason a baby car seat must be used is to keep your little one safe and comfortable whilst travelling in your car.
The first step for finding the perfect baby car seat is to know your baby's weight. Even though car seats for newborns hold babies from 0kg, we still recommend that you know your baby's exact weight. Car seats are chosen by the child's weight and most baby car seats here in the UK can hold up to 13kg in weight, which is approximately 12 months of age. Car seats go by the child's weight, so when your childs weight is above the maximum weight limit for the seat they need to move up to a bigger seat.
Speak to friends and family members about tips on choosing a baby car seat and ask them if there are any car seats they recommend. Ask one of your friends who is a mum if they can help you with the car seat shopping. They already have experience with this so they should be able to point out which ones they feel look of good quality.
When it comes to shopping for the baby car seat remember that safety is the most important thing you are looking for. When you have a selection of different seats picked out that are high rated in safety, you can then pick the comfiest one out of the selection. Don't make the same mistake that some parents make by picking the 'best looking' car seat. Some parents don't realise that some car seats have better safety ratings and better features than others. All car seats have different features for safety and are all rated differently for the safety of the seat. Also all car seats have different features for comfort. Just remember that safety comes first, followed by comfort. Always buy one made by a popular manufacturer you feel you can trust. Always check the product guarantee of the car seat you plan to purchase.
