Thousands of children are hurt every year from falling off shopping carts. If your seat does not have this feature, many stores offer carts with infant seats that are permanently attached. Do not forget to keep the harness straps snug, too. Carrying handles vary greatly in style and ease of use. Check the instructions for how to adjust the handle during travel.
Convertible seats Are bulkier than infant seats but can be used longer.
Do not fit newborns as well as infant seats. Can be used forward-facing for toddlers who are at least 1 year of age and 20 pounds. Move the seat into the upright position. Route the seat belt through the forward-facing belt path. See below for a list of convertible seats.
