Choosing a Car Seat for Your Baby with a Focus on Safety
When it comes to protecting your baby, safety is non-negotiable. With so many options on the market, how do you know which safety features to prioritize? We’ve compiled a guide to help you understand important car seat features with a clear bias as to why babyark is a top choice in safety for premium car seats.
Let’s dive into the key safety features every parent should consider when selecting the perfect car seat for their little one.
1. Look for Superior Side-Impact Protection
Did you know that side-impact collisions account for nearly 25% of all car crashes? That’s why the quality of the side-impact protection is a critical feature you should look for in a car seat. This technology helps absorb and deflect the energy from a crash, ensuring that your baby is protected from all angles.
babyark’s BioArk™ system combined with other babyark features, including the egg shape, combine for phenomenal protection, creating a protective shell around your child to extend crash protection. This advanced system along with the SafeCoil™ absorbs crash forces and distributes them away from your baby, reducing the risk of serious injury.
2. Prioritize Energy-Absorbing Technology
In the event of a crash, you want a car seat that can absorb and redistribute impact forces to minimize injury. Look for car seats with advanced energy-absorbing systems and materials like babyark SafeCoil™ technology, which is designed to siphon crash forces and help keep your child safe.
babyark takes energy absorption to the next level with its high-grade steel construction and SafeCoil™ technology. This combination offers superior crash protection, helping disperse energy from a collision before it can reach your child.
3. Easy Installation: A Must for Every Parent
A car seat is only fully effective if it’s installed correctly. In fact, studies show that around 60% of car seats are installed improperly, which can significantly reduce their safety. Look for a car seat with easy installation features to help ease your mind that you are able to securely attach the seat every time.
With babyark’s step-by-step installation guidance and connection to our smart app, we walk you through to help you install the car seat correctly. With our Smart and Premium seats, the app even sends real-time alerts if something is amiss, so you never have to second-guess whether your child is safe.
4. Rear-Facing for Longer: A Critical Safety Feature
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends keeping your child rear-facing for as long as possible. When a child is in a rear-facing car seat, the car seat shell protects their head, neck, and spine by taking on the majority of the crash forces.
babyark’s rear-facing mode supports children up to 50 pounds, allowing them to stay in a more protected position for as long as possible. With the additional support of BioArk™ side-impact protection and all our energy management features, your baby is surrounded by safety at every stage.
5. No Expiration Date: A Long-Lasting Investment
Car seats come with an expiration date because their materials degrade over time and under extreme conditions, and changes to regulations often call for upgrades and adjustments to products. However, babyark stands out with its no-expiration design. Built with durable steel, babyark is more resistant to wear and tear, making it a long-term investment for growing families. Further, the 10-year maintenance check ensures that you can feel relief of knowing that your car seat is as protective after a decade as it was after a day.
By choosing babyark, instead of replacing your car seat at the 10-year mark, you can feel content completing the maintenance check and continuing on with your babyark safely installed. Fill your car with smiles with your expiration-free babyark, instead of landfills with yesterday's car seat, saving you money and reducing waste. It’s a smart choice for safety and sustainability. While this component is not a reflection on safety above all, it's a solid reflection on the wise investment a good choice in car seats can be toward ensuring your child remains safe and snug for years to come.
