Car Seat Inserts For Newborns

Car seat inserts for newborns are included with most convertible and infant car seats to allow babies to fit better and be more comfortable in the car. Inserts can be removed once the child is at the weight limit specified in the instruction manual for the car seat.

Use only the inserts included with your car seat. Anything else can be unsafe, causing your baby to get squished and the harness straps not to be at the proper height.

Boosts your baby's sitting position

A car seat insert allows your newborn to sit higher in the seat. This will help you secure the harness straps correctly and securely and prevents the slouching that could put your infant at risk of injury in the event of an accident. The padding raises your child's head and reduces the distance between the bottom of the seat and the lowest strap slots. It ensures they are secure in a rear-facing car and that their head isn't too close to the crotch (which could hinder airflow).

If you're using convertible car seats the infant insert can be removed once your child has reached a certain weight or height limit. This is usually around 5-6 months old. Make sure you read the manual for guidance on this, and also make sure the harness straps for your child are still level with or below their shoulders - they might need to be adjusted after removing the infant insert.

Certain headrests for car seats as well as some that come with the infant seats - could actually cause your child's head to move forward, which can restrict their airway, and could put their safety at risk.

Use only the insert that came with your child's car seat. Never use a makeshift solution, such as burp cloths or a rolled-up blankets on top of their heads. Each car seat is tested to make sure that all components function. Utilizing any other insert could hinder this testing and affect your child's security.

The "pinch test" is the most effective way to ensure that your baby is safely seated in the seat. You shouldn't be able to squeeze any slack at the shoulder between your fingers and the harness. If you are unsure, contact an expert in Child Passenger Security or the customer service number of the car seat manufacturer.

Supports for your baby's neck and head
