When my oldest was a baby, it was impossible to install a car seat securely without the help of a local fire station. I remember one time, and this was only 8 years ago, spending an hour with all my weight on top of the car seat, pushing, pulling, tightening and going crazy getting the car seat into my small car.<br /><br />I only went a short distance when I noticed that the car seat was slipping and had come almost completely loose, after all my hard work.<br /><br />I used to get frustrated by how hard these seats were to get in correctly. It didn't matter how safe the baby car seat was, if I couldn't easily install it correctly in my car.<br /><br />Flash forward to today, and we have another little one in car seats. I have to say that the car seats are much better than they were just 8 years ago. I can install the seats we have now in a flash and don't have to spend an hour doing it. They stay in snug and secure and are very nice compared to the older seats.<br /><br />I definitely think that parents have to look into how easy a seat is to install before they buy one. A car seat isn't safe if you can't get it installed easily, so keep ease of installation in mind if you want your baby to be safe.<br /><br />I can't believe that they now want kids to stay in the rear facing position until two now, they must have just come up with that one. I'm not an expert on car collisions, but it seems kind of crazy to keep a little one, once they meet the 20 lb mark, turned around in their car seats.<br /><br />I hope the car seats continue to get safer to keep babies safer. I am impressed with just how much they have improved over the past 8 years.The Infant Car Seat Guyhttp://y11118.comnoreply@blogger.com
