Buying Infant or Baby Car Seats Valley Stream NY

1. New Car Seat: It is recommended to buy a new car seat rather than a second hand one for your child. This is because the old car seat might have the instruction manual missing, might have been in a crash or can even be a recalled model.
   
   
2. Types of Seats:There are a few types of car seats available depending on the age, height and weight of your child:
   
   
   • Infant Car Seat - This is suitable for new born babies. Your infant can use an infant car seat in the rear-facing position until he/she reaches the age and weight restrictions for the seat (typically 1 year old or 20 pounds) and can support him/herself. After this your child should be moved into a convertible car seat.
     
     Handle: An Infant car seat has a handle for easy carrying, enabling you to safely carry your baby without having to unbuckle and wake him/her up. (Remember to place this in the down position while in the car to prevent injury to your baby).
     
     Base: An infant car seat typically comes with a base which is installed in the car, allowing the infant car seat to be detached and carried while leaving the base firmly in place in the car.
     
     Travel System: If you are also planning on buying a stroller, you might want to consider a Travel System. This is a package which includes a stroller, infant car seat (which securely attaches to the stroller), and an infant car seat base.
