Nowadays, many families have purchased cars, and parents also enjoy driving with their babies. To ensure the safety of children, it is advisable to purchase a child safety seat at this time. Many parents are worried that their children are still too young to sit in child safety seats. So, can a 7-month-old baby use a safety seat?
The vast majority of 7-month-old babies are able to sit up, at which point they can use a safety seat. A baby who is less than 6 months old has underdeveloped bones and very little muscle support in the back, so they cannot sit in a safety seat.
There are many types of safety seats now, and if the child cannot sit comfortably, parents can also choose a safety seat that allows the child to lie down. When choosing a child safety seat, parents need to choose according to their child's age and weight.
Children under one year old who weigh less than 10 kilograms should purchase a cradle style rear facing safety seat. When children aged 1-3 weigh 10-20 kilograms, they should purchase fully covered safety seats. Children aged 3-10 and weighing 15-36 kilograms should purchase covered safety seats.
Children of different ages use different safety seats. Suitable safety seats can make children safer and parents more at ease. Everyone should remember that babies can only sit in safety seats after six months.
