If your 3-month-old is growing out of their car seat, there are a few things to consider to ensure their safety and comfort:
-
Check the Car Seat Weight and Height Limits: Car seats have specific weight and height limits. Review the manufacturer’s guidelines to see if your baby is approaching those limits. If so, it may be time to switch to a larger car seat, such as a convertible car seat.
-
Proper Harness Position: The harness straps should be at or just below your baby’s shoulders when rear-facing. If your baby is growing taller, ensure that the straps are adjusted correctly.
-
Rear-Facing for Safety: The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that babies remain rear-facing as long as possible, ideally until they reach the maximum height or weight limits for their car seat. A convertible car seat can keep your child rear-facing for a longer time.
-
Comfort: If your baby is feeling cramped, you can check the seat padding or consider a new car seat with more space or better head support.
If they’ve outgrown their current car seat, it’s time to transition to a convertible car seat or an appropriate seat for their size and age. Let me know if you need recommendations for specific car seats!
