Car Seat for Infant and Children

  • The safest place for any child 12 years old and under is in the back seat in a safety seat or seat belt.
  • Older kids should ride in a booster seat until the car's lap and shoulder belts fit right.
  • The lap belt must fit low and snug on their hips. The shoulder belt must not cross their face or neck.
  • Never put the shoulder belt behind their back or under their arm.
  • Child seat compatibility: Not all child seats can be installed in all vehicles and all seating positions. The best way to be sure your child seat is compatible with the vehicle you are considering is to test it before you purchase or lease the vehicle.
  • Read the child seat's instruction manual and review all information in the vehicle owner's manual concerning correct installation. Once the seat is installed, check it by firmly pulling the base of the child seat from side to side and forward. The child seat should not move more than one inch in any direction.

for children roughly 4 to 11 years.

The infant car seat which equipped with safety harnesses will hold an infant  in the event of a crash. Convertible car seats protect your child when they grow too big for an infant car seat and when they aren't yet big enough for a booster car seat. Booster Car Seat rely on a vehicle's seat belt restraints to protect a child in the event of an accident. Clek Olli Booster seat is essential for the safety of growing children, especially the stubborn type who think, "boosters are for babies".
DO NOT put them in the front passenger seat if there is a passenger airbag.

Rearward-facing seats provide greater protection for the baby's head, neck and spine than forward-facing seats. So, it is best to keep your baby in a rearward-facing seat for as long as possible.

Only move them to a forward-facing seat once they have exceeded the maximum weight for the baby seat, or the top of their head is higher than the top of the seat.

 

Once children have outgrown a rearwards facing seat, the best option is to use a child seat with an integral harness, the large area of the harness helps to reduce the risk of injury if there is a crash. The bottom attachment between the legs will also prevent the child from sliding under, and out of, the harness.

Once again, it is safest to keep children in this type of system until they have outgrown it.

Only move your child to a booster seat once they have exceeded the maximum weight for the child seat, or the top of their head is higher than the top of the seat.

 

You should ensure your child is within the weight range of any booster seat or booster cushion.

Some booster seats are designed to be converted into a booster cushion by detaching the back rest, and you should always check the manufacturers advice about when and how to do this.

Booster seats and booster cushions do not have an integral harness to hold the child in place. The adult seat belt goes around the child and the seat. So it is important that the seat belt is correctly adjusted. The basic points to note are:

  • the belt should be worn as tight as possible
  • the lap belt should go over the pelvic region, not the stomach
  • the diagonal strap should rest over the shoulder, not the neck
