Infant Seats

• Group 0 or 0+• Designed for babies from birth to 10kg, 13kg or 15 months.

• Always install an infant seat rear facing.

• Blue markers indicate installation with a seat belt – blue is for babies.

• Not designed for long periods of sleep.

• Do not place your baby in this seat wrapped in a blanket, rather place a blanket over the whole seat.

• Baby seats can be taken out of the vehicle to carry your child in and can double up as a rocker or feeding chair.

• Never leave your child unattended in an infant seat.

• Never leave your newborn infant in a car seat for more than 20 minutes.

• At birth, a baby’s skull, spine and pelvic configuration are not fully developed yet. The soft fontanel on the top of the head is something we are all familiar with. Did you know there is one at the back of your child’s head as well?

• The spine is made of cartilage and bone and the pelvic bones are still in seperate pieces. This vulnerable skeleton must be protected in the car seat.

• The back and the flatter angle of the infant seat is designed to protect baby’s spine and neck during a collision.

• Side impact protection prevents injury to the head and neck.

• Baby’s heads are bigger in proportion to their bodies than that of an adult and will throw forward with more relative force than an adult’s during a

crash.
