Your baby’s carseat is the most important piece of baby equipment that you need to buy. It is a most for safety and convenience. You will use your carseat practically everyday until the child is at least 5 years old and then you will probably graduate into a booster seat. Just because a carseat needs to be sturdy and safe, doesn’t mean it can’t also be beautiful. At Namely Newborns we have a wide assortment of infant carseat covers and toddler carseat covers as well as replacement covers that will make sure your baby’s carseat is comfortable and beautiful.
Your child’s first car seat is designed to face the rear of the vehicle, and for good reason. In a crash, the back of an infant seat absorbs most of the impact and evenly distributes the remaining force across a baby’s back — his strongest body part. It also cradles his heavy head and relatively weak neck, protecting him from neck and spinal-cord injuries.

Another key feature of an infant seat is the adjustable base. It lets you position your baby at a safe angle (about 45 degrees). “If the seat is too upright, your child’s head could flop forward in a crash, potentially cutting off his airway,” says Lorrie Walker, training manager and
technical advisor at Safe Kids Worldwide, in Washington, D.C.

Although experts used to say that a baby was ready for a forward-facing seat after he’d turned 1 and weighed 20 pounds, research has found that children between ages 1 and 2 are five times less likely to be seriously injured in a crash if they’re rear-facing. That’s why the American Academy of Pediatrics now recommends that all kids ride in a rear-facing seat until they reach the maximum height or weight limit set by the
manufacturer. This applies to babies in infant seats as well as to infants and toddlers in   convertible seats, which can be used both rear-facing and forward-facing.
FIVE MISTAKES TO AVOID

1. Placing your baby in the front seat.
The force generated by a deployed front airbag can severely injure or kill a child. Buckle her into the safest spot in your car: the center of the rear seat. A recent study conducted at The Children’s Hospital of
Philadelphia found that kids seated there were 43 percent less likely to be injured in a crash than those who rode in the side seats. However, any position in the rear is safer than in the front.

2. Using the wrong anchors.
The LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) system allows you to attach the seat to metal rings in some cars’ rear seats without using the seat belt. But not all cars have anchors in the middle. To install your car seat in the center, make sure you’re not using the anchors for a window seat by mistake. If yours doesn’t have center anchors, use the seat belt instead.

3. Not getting a tight-enough fit.
The seat shouldn’t be able to move more than an inch from side to side. When tightening the LATCH straps or seat belt, put your knee in the car seat and push down to help you pull them as tight as possible. You should adjust the harness straps so that you can’t pinch a fold in the fabric. “If your child can move forward at all, there is a risk that he could whip forward during a crash and injure his head or spinal cord,” says Dr. Durbin.

4. Positioning the harness straps too high.
When your baby is rear-facing, adjust the straps so they’re threaded through the slots at or below his shoulder level, says Jennifer
Stockburger, vehicle and child-safety program manager at Consumer Reports’ Auto Test Center, in East Haddam, Connecticut. Otherwise, she could be injured or ejected in a crash.

5. Adding padding.
You can’t tighten straps snugly if you cover them with cushy pads, wrap your baby in a blanket or a thick coat, or use seat pads that aren’t designed for the seat.

No need to buy a  new infant or toddler carseat for your second child.  You don’t even need to buy a new baby carrier or carseat for baby number one   if you can find a sturdy gently used infant or toddler car seat. No matter what the outside looks like it can be recovered or covered in hip or classic cotton fabrics to make it look better than new.  As long as the original carrier or seat is safe, it can be reused. Not only will you save money by not buying a new babycar  seat,  this seat will be more beautiful and more confortable for your baby than any carrier out there.

Carrier – A carrier is convenient for both baby and mother. It’s convenient for baby because obviously, some like to be held more than others. Carriers also prevent parents from having to hold their babies while out in public. In addition, their also considered highly fashionable – an excellent gift!

Bedding – Newborn babies need much more than just plush blankets and pillow cases. There are tons of options for both baby boys and girls. You can also choose from a variety of fabrics and designs. Not to mention, find a killer deal, especially when opting to shop online.

Why not help to save some money by purchasing a personalized wipe case? Most of the time, if you only have to purchase wipes in packs, you can save at least .75 cents to a buck. Over time, this adds up, as well as gives baby something to cherish when they get older. After all, how many kids do you know with their own personalized wipe box?

Baby Quilts – There are minky blankets, and then there are quilts. In addition to baby’s beautiful set of plush blankets, quilts are an absolute necessity. You’ll find quilts with animal designs, as well as quilts containing numbers and the alphabet. You may even decide to make one yourself. Whatever you decide, this gift is a keeper.
