When choosing a car seat, first of all, you need tostart from the age and weight of the child. The choice of the appropriate group of car seats depends on this. Do not select the group "by eye", do not be lazy and weigh the baby before visiting the store. By the way, you must take the child with you, because any car seat needs to be "tried on". Safety is the main criterion for choosing a car seat for a child. Therefore, before looking closely at the car seat model, check the marking. It must have the ECE R44 / 03 icon, this icon means that the product complies with the European Safety Standard. That is, you can be sure that this car seat model has successfully passed many tests and crash tests. Do not rush to buy the child car seat you like, you must try to install it in your car. If the selected model is not installed in the family Hyundai or there are problems with the installation, it is better to choose another model or a child car seat from another company. Checking the safety of the seat is not limited to the European Standard marking icon, be sure to check the base of the structure - it should be metal, this significantly increases the strength of the product, and therefore the safety of the baby while riding. You can argue for as long as you like that modern plastic is a strong and reliable material, but metal is more reliable in any case. Pay attention to the seat belts of the child seat. It is desirable that the internal belts have a Y-shape, such belts can protect the child from spinal or abdominal injury in the event of an accident or collision. If the baby is still very small, the car seat should not be a "sitting" one, but a "lying" one. It must be checked with special care. The back seat of your car, no matter whether it is a SsangYong or a Daewoo Matiz, should be designed in such a way that the reinforced seat does not wobble or skew. In general, before going to the store, look through forums or official websites of cars and find out in advance which brands of child car seats are more suitable for Honda, which for BMW, and specifically for your model and year of manufacture. This will make the selection process much easier. How should the car seat be positioned: in the direction of the car's travel or against it? It is generally accepted that a child sitting in a child seat is better protected if it is located against the direction of travel. Why? In this position, in the event of a possible collision, the child will simply press more tightly against the back of the seat, otherwise - in a collision, the entire load will fall on the spine (especially the cervical vertebrae), as well as the chest and stomach.
