Restraints

Short Lifespan of Car Seat for Baby

As babies grow, they require diverse types of car seats, which means that each car seat is used for a relatively short span of time. If a proposed law is passed, parents may be required to purchase at least four different child car seats that correspond to their child's age until they are 14 years old. This would further decrease the lifespan of baby car seats. Also, baby car seats can become damaged due to accidents or regular wear and tear. Accidents can compromise the seat's ability to protect a child during a crash, while wear and tear can also reduce the effectiveness of the car seat over time, regardless of whether or not it has been in an accident.
