Car Seat Inserts For Newborns

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

Always make sure you use the inserts that come with your car seat. Anything else is dangerous and could cause your child to be squeezed or straps that aren't at the appropriate level.

Boosts your baby's sitting position

A car seat insert designed for babies allows your newborn to sit higher in the seat. This helps you fasten the harness straps properly and securely and also stops the slouching that could expose your child to the risk of injury in the event of a crash. The padding raises your child's height and reduces the distance between their bottom and the lowest set of harness strap slots, ensuring they're secure in the car seat that faces rearwards and that their head doesn't get too close to the strap around their crotch (which can restrict airflow).

If you're using a convertible car seat, the newborn insert is removed when your child reaches a certain weight or height limit. This typically occurs between 5 and 6 months old. Make sure you read the manual for instructions on this, and make sure that the harness straps of your child are still level with or below their shoulders. They might require adjustment after removing the infant insert.

Certain head support devices, like those that come with infant seats, may cause the child's head to tilt forward. This could impede their airway and put their safety at risk. So, be sure to always refer to the car seat manual and the manufacturer's website for guidelines on when and how to use these types of head supports.

Make sure to use only the insert included with your child's seat. Do not use a substitute solution, such as a burp cloth or rolled-up blanket behind their head. Every car seat is tested to make sure that all components function. Using any other insert could hinder this testing and affect your child's safety.

Remember, the most secure method to ensure your baby is snugly seated in their seat is applying the "pinch test" and you must not squeeze any slack between your finger and the harness at their shoulder. If you aren't sure you are not sure, call the Nania Topo Disney Child Booster Seat Made in France Passenger Security Technician or the customer service number of the car seat manufacturer.

Helps support your baby's neck and head

A newborn insert is a cushion designed to support your baby's head as well as neck. This is because infants aren't yet able to develop the muscles that will allow them to raise their heads on their own. Newborn car seat inserts raise your baby's head up so that they can reach the lowest set of shoulder strap slots and they also help to keep their head from sliding forward (which could hinder their airways).

Some infant seats come with newborn inserts. Other companies offer head supports that are specifically designed to be used in car seats. However, before you add any kind of padding to your baby's car seat check the manufacturer's guidelines for specific information about how to safely use the insert for newborns or head support in your specific infant seat.

Many parents believe, untruly that the pillow-like inserts in certain infant seats and those sold separately will keep their baby safe in an accident by preventing a chin to chest position. This is not true. Research shows that the addition of an insert or head support to your infant's seat can cause the head to sag forward, placing it in an unsafe position.

Keeps your baby's head in a natural position

The insert for newborns will ensure that your baby's head is placed in a healthy, natural way.

The insert lifts the child up which allows them to reach the bottom set of shoulder strap slots and pushes their head back to reduce the risk of choking or restricting their breathing. You should always check your car seat's instruction manual for directions on how to remove the infant insert. It will likely specify a weight or age limit.
