A baby car seat is the most important purchase you will make for your new baby. Most mothers and their new babies are picked up from the hospital by car, and the baby car seat must be there waiting. But which one should you choose? Making the wrong decision could be catastrophic, so lets make sure that doesn't happen.
When you are looking for your first baby car seat, there are a few important details to look out for. Lets take a look at these in a bit more detail.
Baby Size
You must choose a baby car seat based on the size of your baby. I say size rather than age, as babies can vary quite a bit in size, whatever their age. A baby car seat is designed to keep your baby in place in the event of an accident. It may be an obvious statement, but there is a huge difference between a newborn baby and a 12 month old toddler. If your car seat is the incorrect size for your baby it could affect the protection they get in the event of an accident. So choose your car seat based on the size of your baby. Most baby car seats will specify, for example, 'For newborns 5 to 22 lbs and less than 29 inches'. This would be suitable for most newborns.
Car Seat Style
There are a number of baby car seats that can be converted from a newborn car seat, to a baby car seat, to a booster seat. Often these can be bit more expensive, but in the long run can be cheaper than buying a new seat as your child grows older. You may not be aware, but your child could be in a car seat for quite a number of years. Laws apply in certain areas that require a child to use a booster seat until they are as old as 12!
There are a huge number of baby car seats available, in many different styles and designs. There are even designer baby car seats available for the fashionisters of the world. You can even get new baby car seat covers to match different styles. As long as it's the correct size for your baby, the rest is up to you.
Buying Nearly New
There is nothing at all wrong with buying cheap baby car seats from eBay. Just follow the advice above regarding which size to buy. There are many bargain car seats available. A brand new seat can cost a lot of money, so rather than spend $100 on a cheap brand new seat, why not spend $100 on a nearly new seat that is superior quality and would have cost two or three times that when new.
Having a car seat is not just a good idea, but the law. Don't flout the law, not even on a quick car trip to a nearby neighbour. I can't even contemplate the consequences of not having one. Save yourself the worry and get a good baby car seat today.
