The first year of the life of your baby and every change he or she goes through is the most important thing that happens to you. You always want to keep the smile upon your child’s face and to make sure he benefits from the best security and safety.

This is why you need to know what to do to decrease as much as possible the chances for your baby to get injured. The most important things are for you to properly install the infant car seat and to make sure it is positioned the best way.
While many people know that it is a must for your child to be positioned in the centre of the back seat, facing backwards, many parents don’t know exactly when to move their baby’s seat to face forward. Some do that later than they should but that is not a severe problem.
However, when you want to see the little one’s face and you place him facing forward too soon, you automatically increase the changes for your baby to get hurt. It is important for the child to face forward but only when the proper moment comes.
Usually you can place your baby facing forward once he is one year old and he has 20 lbs or more. These two aspects are the most important to be considered but you could also keep in mind other details concerning the car seat you use for the child.
If you will read the manual and instructions you swill find in many cases suggestions on how to position the baby so he will be safe. The best thing to do is to wait a year and a half as at that time your baby’s spinal column should be ready for him to face forward.
