Infant Car Seats

What Is an Infant Car Seat and Why Is It Important?

An infant car seat is designed to keep your baby safe and comfortable from birth to about 12 months (or until they reach the seat's height or weight limits). These rear-facing seats are specially made to protect a newborn’s head, neck, and spine during car rides.

Unlike convertible models, infant car seats are also portable, making it easier to carry a sleeping baby in and out of the car without disturbing them.

Why Infant Car Seats Are Ideal for Canadian Winters and Daily Use

One of the biggest perks of using an infant seat is the ability to prep your baby indoors. In Canadian winters, you can bundle them up in the house, buckle them into the seat, and simply click the seat into the car base without removing blankets or rushing in the cold.

This also makes infant seats perfect for quick errands, daycare drop-offs, and travel systems that work with your stroller.
