At what age should a baby ride in a front facing car seat?

Similar questions: age baby ride front facing car seat.

No person occupying an infant car seat should be in the front seat. The reason is the front seat air bags. Facing forward, the child gets a balloon bounce smacking her in the face.

Worse, facing backwards, the child gets a jolt forward, then a jolt backwards (airbag, again. ) That would be a broken neck. The current advice is to put the child seat in the back seat.

The reason is that the infant in the car seat is already secured, so she won't travel far, at all. Behind one of the front seats actually further restrains the child without moving parts threatening the child.

1 NOT A DAY EARLIER THAN ONE! And not because of weight or height, it is because their necks can not take a wipe lash! They have to develop the muscle and suck in their little necks to not break if you got in a car accident.

2 Child car seat advice questionedToddlers should face the rear longer, some experts sayAsk any parent about graduating their infant from a rear-facing car seat to a forward-facing one and you’ll likely hear this common refrain — at least 20 pounds and at least one year (although some estimates say a full 30 percent of parents go against this guideline and actually face their children forward earlier). This advice is generally what our doctors tell us and it’s the car seat safety mantra that’s been drilled into our heads from organizations such as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the National ghway Traffic Safety Administration.

3 Hold off as long as possible. The law in most, if not all, states says 12 months AND so many pounds (I forget right now how many). Anyway, hold off as long as possible because, as Mugsie says, the baby's neck still doesn't need that stress.My twin boys, who are now 3, didn't get turned around until they were 18 months old.

That was when they started not being able to straighten out their legs and also when they kept trying to look forward when we put them in the seats. So, hold off as long as possible. :) .

4 A baby should never ride in the front seat. Now that newer cars allow for airbags to be deactivated for children under a certain weight, many people allow small children to ride in the front. I don't want to take a chance on the air bag not being deactivated.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
