FAQ About Baby Car Seats

It's recommended to install your car seat before your baby arrives, ideally several weeks before your due date. This allows you to properly install and adjust the car seat and become familiar with its features and installation process, so that you can ensure your baby's safety on the road. If you wait until after your baby is born, you may feel rushed or overwhelmed, and may not have the time or energy to properly install and adjust the car seat. Additionally, it's important to note that some hospitals may require that you have a car seat properly installed before they will discharge you and your baby. Therefore, it's a good idea to have the car seat installed and checked by a certified child passenger safety technician to ensure that it is properly installed and adjusted for your baby's age, weight, and height.
