Why You Should Consider a Forward Facing Infant Car Seat

Children under the age of one year should NOT ride facing in the direction of forward. In the event of a crash, their weak neck muscles can stretch and cause serious injuries.

Instead switch to FF when your child is at the weight or height limits of their current seat (or the minimums required for a new seat). Please read your instructions for your car seat.

The best infant carseats will include an angle indicator as well as an adjustable angle adjuster, that allows you to set the correct angle of your child's head in order to prevent them from flopping over in the event of a collision. The top tether strap is connected to the tether anchor of the vehicle and is positioned from the top. You should keep in mind that you may not need to change your child's seat to a forward facing car seat until he or she reaches the maximum weight and height specified in the instruction manual for the seat.

In frontal collisions (the most severe and common kind) they are more likely to suffer serious neck injuries. Rear-facing car seats shield the necks of infants under one year old by cushioning their heads.

When children transition to a forward facing car seat, they need a convertible or an all-in-one that has a high rearward weight limit and a high.
