Car Seat Inserts For Newborns

Car seat inserts for newborns are included in the majority of cheap infant car seats and convertible car seats to allow babies to get a better fit and feel more comfortable in the car. Inserts can be removed once the child is at the weight limit stated in the manual of the car seat.

Always use the inserts included with your car seat--anything else is unsafe and can cause your baby to be squeezed or straps that aren't the right level.

It helps your baby's sit position

A car seat insert permits your newborn to sit higher in the seat. This helps you fasten the harness straps properly and securely and also stops sliding that could expose your child to the risk of injury in the event of a crash. The padding raises your child and decreases the distance between the bottom of the seat and the lowest harness strap slots. It ensures that they are secure in a rear-facing car and their head is not too close to the crotch (which could hinder airflow).

If you have a convertible car seat, you can remove the newborn insert when your child reaches a certain weight or height limit. This usually occurs between five to six months of age. Make sure you read the manual for guidance regarding this, and make sure the harness straps for your child are still level with or below their shoulders. They might require adjustment after you remove the infant insert.

Certain head supports, such as those included in infant seats, could make the child's head tilt backwards. This could impede their airway and put their safety in danger. So, ensure that you always check the manual for your car seat as well as the manufacturer's website for guidelines on when and how to use these kinds of head supports.

You should only use the insert that came with your child's car seat; never create makeshift solutions, such as putting the blanket in a roll or a burp cloth on their head. Each car seat and its components are thoroughly tested to work together as a unit and any other insert can interfere with this process and jeopardize your child's safety.

The "pinch test" is the most effective way to make sure that your child is secure in the seat. You shouldn't be able to squeeze any loose slack in the shoulder between your fingers and the harness. If you aren't sure, contact a Child Passenger Security Technician or the customer service number of your car seat manufacturer.

It supports your baby's head and neck

A newborn insert is designed to support your baby's neck and head. This is due to the fact that infants do not yet have the muscles that allow them to raise their heads on their own. Newborn car seat inserts lift your baby's head up so that they can reach the lowest set of shoulder strap slots and also help keep their head from sliding forward (which could restrict their airways).

Some infant seats come with newborn inserts, and other companies offer head supports designed to be used in car seats. But, before you put any kind of padding to your baby's car seat, check the manufacturer's guidelines for more specific instructions about how to safely use the newborn insert or head support for your specific infant seat.

Infant inserts and head supports included in most car seats are designed to provide additional padding for newborns and small babies. These can be two separate products that allow for greater adjustability or a single unit that's more compact to support.

If you decide to use an infant insert or head support, keep in mind that these are only suitable for use in rear-facing mode, and that they'll likely outgrow them before your baby reaches the maximum weight and height allowed for their car seat. Never use blankets or burp cloths as substitute car seat inserts for infants because they could interfere with the proper placement of the neck and head of the infant which could put them at risk for injury in the event of an accident.

Many parents believe that the pillow-like head supports that are included in some infant seats or sold separately will help their infant stay secure in a crash by helping to prevent a chin-to-chest position. This isn't the case. Research suggests that adding an insert or head support to your infant's car seat can cause the head to slump forward, putting it into an unsafe position. A soft object, like a rolled up receiving blanket or burp cloth could also void the warranty of your infant car seat.

Keeps the baby's head in a natural posture

If you have ever held a baby, you will know that they require additional support to keep their heads elevated. This is why infant car seats are with a cushioned newborn insert that can help your baby sit in a comfortable position. Newborn inserts are like miniature pillows that can be inserted into the seat and provide a comfy cushion for your child. This is important, especially when you travel for long distances. It will help your baby fall asleep and remain awake during the journey.

The newborn insert will also ensure that your baby's head is set in a natural and healthy way. This is particularly important in rear-facing cars, where the infant's head can become blocked if it is sunk forward. The insert raises the child's body to allow them to reach the shoulder strap slots. It also pulls the head back to reduce the risk of choking. It is important to note that you should always check the manual of your car seat for specific instructions on when to remove the insert for your newborn, as it will likely provide an age limit or weight limit.

As your child grows, the insert for a newborn car seat will naturally shrink to a size that isn't suitable for your child. As your baby grows, they will naturally outgrow the newborn car seat insert.

It is important to check the harness after removing the infant insert from the car of your baby. You can test this by conducting the pinch test, in which you put your finger in the space between the strap for your shoulder and the chest of your baby. If the gap is big or there's plenty of slack, you should put the newborn insert back into.

Although there are different car seat accessories available on the market that you could use for your newborn however, it's best to stick with the newborn insert provided by your car seat's manufacturer. They are specifically designed to fit your baby's car seat and ensure that they are safe while traveling.

Keep your baby comfortable

The newborn insert is a car seat accessory designed to keep babies comfy and secure in their infant seats. It's an extra layer of padding that boosts your baby up a little so that the harness straps are on or below their shoulders (if they're in the rear-facing car seat). Without an insert, your baby may not be sitting high enough for their harness to be adjusted correctly.

A newborn headband can be a good infant car seats idea, because it makes it more likely that your baby's chin away from their chest. Many parents believe that the pillow-like insert included with certain carseats, or the receiving blanket that is rolled up or burpcloth that friends suggest that they place alongside their child's face can protect the baby's brain in the event of the event of a crash. However, these extra padding pieces can actually make the chin-to-chest positioning worse, as they compress during a crash.

Newborn car seat accessories are a great way to help keep your baby in a comfortable position when driving and they're simple to use as well. They're typically a piece of fabric or foam that is placed underneath the car seat to raise up the bottom of the seat. Some include a head-hugger and a cushion that both are placed under the child's head to lift them up while others are simply head huggers on their own.

Inserts for newborn car seats can be removed once the baby is old enough to fit without them. Most manufacturers have the weight or height guidelines for this. Always follow the directions in the manual for your car seat for this information.

It's best to consult a professional if you are unsure whether or not your baby is ready to quit using the newborn car seat insert. A CPST can provide you with helpful advice to ensure that your baby is using their car seat in a safe manner. A consultation can be added to your registry to give your precious children peace of mind when you travel with your child in the back seat.
