When you’re shopping for a car seat, it can be tough to know which side of the car the seat should go. Should it go in the backseat or the front? Which is better: an infant-only car seat or one that can accommodate older children as well? It’s definitely a question worth answering, as both sides have their pros and cons. In this blog post, we will discuss both sides and help you make a decision based on your specific needs and situation.
How to find your car seat’s side
If you’re looking for your car seat’s side, it will be either the front or the back. The back seat is usually on the right side of the car, and the front seat is usually on the left side. If you can’t find your car seat’s side, it’s probably in the middle of the car.
Which car seat goes on which side
Many parents are unaware of which car seat goes on which side because there is no specific marking or instruction for this. Most seats have a yellow sticker that indicates the correct placement. When purchasing a car seat, it is important to research which one will be best for your child. There are many different types of car seats and they all need to be placed in a certain way in order to provide the best protection.
Side-impact protection is most effective when the child’s head and torso are placed within the contours of the restraint system. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends that children under age 12 months old ride in a rear-facing car seat unless they are at least 50 pounds or more than 24 inches tall, have an upper body weight greater than 40 pounds, or have been found to exceed current safety standards for frontal crash protection in their vehicle. A front-facing infant car seat should only be used if the parent has access to a second vehicle so that he or she can take the baby home if necessary.
When choosing a car seat, it is important to select one that fits well and provides adequate protection. Car seats can be found in many different sizes and shapes, so it is important to try them out before making a purchase so that you know what will fit your child best.
Pros and Cons of each side
Pros and Cons of Each Side
When it comes to car seats, it can be confusing which side the seat goes on. This is because there are a few different types of car seats available and each one has its own individual pros and cons. So, in this article, we will go over the pros and cons of each side of the car seat so that you can make an informed decision as to which side is best for your family.
The Pros of Putting A Car Seat In The Front Seat:
-Front seats are generally wider than the back seats, making them easier to fit a car seat into.
-Front seats also have more padding than the back seats, which makes them more comfortable for children.
-Some car seats even come with built-in cup holders, making it easier for parents to bring drinks along with them while driving.
-Front seats tend to be safer than the back seats since they are farther from traffic collisions and other hazards.
The Cons of Putting A Car Seat In The Front Seat:
-Some front seat cars don’t have much space behind the row of seats, limiting where a car seat can be stored.
-Since front drivers’ and passengers’ chairs recline fully, rear-facing childseat installation in a front passenger’s seat may be less comfortable than installing the same childseat in the rear passenger’s seat.
How to rotate a car seat
If you need to rotate a car seat from the front to the back or vice versa, follow these simple steps:
1. Locate the car’s sun visor and push down on it until it clicks into place.
2. Lift up on one of the headrests so that it pops out of the seat.
3. Rotate the car seat around its base, so that the headrests now face inwards (away from you).
4. Reinsert the headrests into their slots, and secure them by pressing down on them.
Conclusion
When it comes to car seats, parents often have trouble deciding which side of the car seat their child should be seated on. Is it better to strap them in from the front or back? Should they be strapped in facing forward or backwards? The truth is that both methods have their benefits and drawbacks, so it’s important for parents to research each option thoroughly before making a decision. Ultimately, the safest place for your child is in your lap facing you, but make sure you consult with a car seat expert first to find the best way to secure them into their car seat.
