Question:
So I bought this seat for my baby (not yet born) because it rated the best in the Consumer Reports tests (which was retracted, I know, but only because the side-impact test was accidentally done at the equivalent of 70mph, rather than 35... the results aren't invalid, though). I have the seat now and it looks great. I love the triangular handle and safety is absolutely first.
What's the weirdest thing you ever saw in a lane of traffic?
Here's the thing, though: It doesn't come with infant head support or a "boot" (those things for warmth that slide over the bottom of the seat after the baby's buckled in). I know you can buy them and add them, but I also know that adding anything can compromise the safety of the seat, especially if it's between the back of the seat and the baby, or the baby and the straps.
When is it legal to drive a car in the bike lane?
So if I want to add infant head support and warmth, what can I use? Regular "bundle me" type boot things are known not to be safe because they're padded and go under the baby, and usual infant head supports go behind the baby too. Thanks!
Answers:
You can put a rolled up receiving blanket along side (but not under) your baby's head to offer some support. Installing the seat at the proper angle (should be 45* for a newborn in a rear facing infant seat) and straps tight should keep baby's head back and airways open.
Help with car seats my car seat does not fit snug in the rear seat what can i do ?
There are infant seat covers that you can use to cover the seat - but unless you are having a baby very soon, and in cold winter weather, you may not need more than a few warm blankets over the top of the seat.
WELL THE THINGS FOR HEAD SUPPORT WILL NOT COMPERMIZE THE SEAT OR YOUR BABY I HAVE 2 BABIES AND I USED ONE FOR BOTH. THE FABBRIC THAT GOES BEHIND THE BABY IS THIS AND IT IS CUT IN A WAY TO GO AROUND THE SEAT BELT SO YOU DONT HAVE TO WORY ABOUT IT. FOR WARMTH AFTER BUCKLING YOUR BABY IN TAKE A BLANKET PERFURIBLY A SOFT ONE AND TUCK IT ALL THE WAY AROUND THE BABY BECAUSE BABIES LIKE TO BE SWADLED OR IN A PASITION THAT THERE LEGS ARE SNUG UP TO THERE CHEST. SO SWADLE YOUR BABY AFTER BUCKLING HIM OR HER IN.
What would be your first thought?
Isn't that weird that they'd make an infant seat without proper headrest? Makes no sense.Can someone tell me why it is that we don't get carbon monoxide poisoning while?
Anyway, the safest thing to do is to take a bunch of recieving blankets and roll them up really snug on either side of baby's head.
For warmth, it's okay to use one of the shower cap type carriers with an opening that you can velcro close... They just elastic on to the seat, so nothing goes in between the baby and the straps. These are for winter weather, so you probably won't need one... just a nice blanket. Babies tend to outgrow the infant carriers between 4-6 months, so you probably won't make it to next winter in this seat.
