The seat



Once you're out of motherhood, you'll need a car seat to bring your baby home. For his well-being and safety, it is important to choose what best fits, and know how to install it.

How to choose your seat?
You must first make sure that the seat is approved: the baseline ECE R44/03 should be included.

Car seats are classified into groups, which correspond to the weight of your baby
from birth to 10 kg, ie about 9 months, your child needs a seat
group 0.

Different types of seats are..

For group 0, you can opt for a seat "rearward", which is the best protection in a frontal collision, or the bed-platform, which allows your baby to lie.

The comfort of your baby is also very important

He will feel more comfortable, less fidgeting with it the risk of coming off. Then you must take into account the size of your car, if it is a little easier to take a seat set and ask yourself if the belts are long enough to all models.

Ditto if your baby is likely to change often car, in which case it may need to invest in a second seat to avoid hasty and dangerous facilities.

Last tip, do not buy a used seat, but nine, you will be guaranteed to the latest standards and most importantly, it has not already suffered a shock!

How to install the car seat?
The most serious injuries are caused by belts not fastened or improperly secured car seats, installation is just as crucial as the choice.

Ask the seller a demonstration because the hold of the seat requires very precise gestures: you must follow the instructions to the letter. Once attached, always check the stability of fixation. To use rear-facing seats, make sure the airbag is disconnected.

Finally, if your car allows, opt for the Isofix system, which fixes the seat directly on the car: in case of impact, your baby will move less and it also avoids the bad facilities. Find your car because you must be recent enough to accommodate this device.

And remember, buying the right car seat is not enough, we must also know well the install!
