Baby seat installation raises alarm bells for many new parents. While it's important to fit your seat correctly, it doesn’t have to be difficult to properly install your baby car seat. Here are some common mistakes you should be aware of before fitting a baby car seat:
Choosing the wrong size seat for your child's needs
The first step to ensuring a properly fitted baby car seat is choosing the right size for your child. This means selecting a seat that is appropriate for your child’s age and height and that conforms to Australian safety standards. You should follow the national safety road laws and manufacturer’s instructions on which seat to use and keep using the car seat for as long as possible as the safest transport option. A common mistake parents make is progressing to the next type of restraint based on age rather than height. Size of a child can vary and not all 4 years olds are the same size. Children should fit within the shoulder height marker advice for the specific model of child restraint they are using.
Choosing an unsafe position for the car seat
The safest placement of a baby car seat is on the rear seat in the center position, as it protects your child in the event of a side-on collision. You should always install the car seat where there is an appropriate anchor point and according to the instructions in your vehicle’s owners’ manual.
Incorrectly installing
With so many belts and straps, ensuring correct baby seat installation can be confusing. You should always follow the manufacturer’s instructions on how to fasten straps, making sure the car seat is secured tightly to your vehicle with no more than a couple of centimetres movement from back to front or side to side. If you do not feel confident installing the car seat yourself, you can consult a professional baby car seat fitting service.
Installing the baby seat at an unsafe angle
A properly installed infant carrier or rear facing car seat will keep your baby's head positioned comfortably on the back of the car seat. The preferred angle of a rear facing car seat base is 10-15°, for vehicle’s with a flatter car seat you can pack firmly rolled up towels on the underside of the base to achieve the desired angle. Some car seats, like our Unity Infant Carrier include levelling indicator lines that allow you to gauge the correct angle.
