When you’re ready to take your new baby home from the hospital, one of the first things you’ll need is a car seat. And if you were like most parents, you probably opted for a standard infant car seat (aka a newborn insert). But what happens when your little one outgrows the newborn insert? What should you do then? In this blog article, we will answer these questions and more. We’ll discuss why removing the newborn insert is often recommended, what to do if your child falls asleep in their car seat, and more. So read on to learn everything you need to know about when to remove the newborn insert from your car seat.
When To Remove The Newborn Insert
When your baby reaches about six or seven months old, you can start to remove the newborn insert from their car seat. This is usually done gradually over a few weeks as your baby grows more mobile and starts to move around more. If your baby is starting to pull up, sit up, or roll over in their car seat, it’s time to begin removing the insert sooner.
Tips For Removing The Newborn Insert
When your baby is born, it’s time to remove the newborn insert from their car seat. Here are a few tips for removing the insert:
1. Always follow the car seat manufacturer’s instructions when removing or installing the car seat.
2. If there is a locking clip on the car seat, make sure to release it before removing the insert.
3. If there is no locking clip, use a pin or nail to pry up on one end of the insert and pull outwards until it comes free from the car seat base.
4. Be careful not to damage either the car seat or insert while removing them!

When To Replace The Newborn Insert In Car Seat
Replacing a newborn insert in your car seat is an important safety step to take when your child reaches their first birthday. This is especially true if the insert has been in use for more than six months, as it may no longer meet safety standards.
It’s also important to note that if you have a convertible car seat, you’ll need to replace the insert regardless of when it was initially purchased.Convertible car seats go from being a rear-facing baby carrier to a forward-facing one with the click of a button. Because of this, the infant insert doesn’t always fit well once your child outgrows the newborn stage and grows into a toddler.
