Safety

Make sure your car seat is fitted with a front adjustment that can tighten the harness, as well as a maximum recline of 45 degrees to avoid death by suffocation.

Contact a certified child safety technician at your local fire station or hospital if you are unsure what to do to install your car seat. They can provide you with precise instructions and answer any questions you might have.

You'll also need to consider whether you want your infant car seat to include a top tether strap which is a tether that attaches to the seat via an attachment in the vehicle's back seat or trunk. The tether stops the head of your child from bouncing forward during an accident. This decreases the chance of injury to the head.

When choosing a car-seat pram, make sure the car seat and the base fit together snugly and that the locking mechanism is easy to operate with one hand. Always lock the chassis before folding your pram. This will prevent you from folding it accidentally while your child is in the seat.
