FAQ About Baby Car Seats
What is the difference between car seat and baby seat?
The terms "car seat" and "baby seat" are sometimes used interchangeably, but they can refer to different types of seats.
A car seat is a type of safety restraint system that is designed to protect children during car rides. Car seats can be rear-facing or forward-facing, and they are secured in the car using the vehicle's seat belts or the LATCH system. Car seats are typically used for children from birth until they are big enough to use the vehicle's seat belt without a booster seat.
A baby seat, on the other hand, is a type of seat that is designed for infants to use outside of the car. Baby seats can be used for a variety of purposes, such as feeding, playing, or sleeping. They are typically lightweight and portable, and they may come with a harness or safety straps to keep the baby secure.
While car seats and baby seats are different products designed for different purposes, there are some car seats that are designed to be used outside of the car as well. These products, which are sometimes called "travel systems" or "convertible car seats," can be used as both a car seat and a stroller, and they typically come with a detachable base that can be installed in the car.
