Where can I get a infant car seat with a shoulder strap to carry it?

I saw a couple on tv who were carrying their children in their car seats and the seat had an over the shoulder carrier strap. I would love to know where to get a seat like this. I am so tired of trying to carry my sons seat 2 inches off the ground. It kills my back since I am so short and he weighs so much. I think the show I saw it on was on TLC and they were a couple from england. I need this seat!!!!!!!

The car seat you saw was the Orbit Baby infant seat and saying it’s expensive is an understatement: http://www.healthchecksystems.com/orbit_baby_stroller_systems.htm.

Choosing The Best Infant Car Seat For Your Baby

It can be difficult to select the best infant car seat for your baby. This is because there are numerous aspects one has to look into just to make sure that the one selected is appropriate and comfortable. The first task is to carry out intensive research so as to learn the features of an infant appropriate seat. Read baby car seat reviews and seek advice from experts.

There are several useful sites that can assist you to match up your child’s weight and height with the seat that would suit him or her best. The Car Seat Buying Guide which was written by a group of Child Passenger Safety Technicians is one good source to start with. Also consider looking at relevant bulletin boards and discussion forums. The Child Safety Seat Ease of Use Ratings, located on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website, evaluates four different factors that affect the usability of child safety seats, then boils it all down into an overall “ease of use” rating.

Here are a few factors one needs to contemplate when seeking the best infant car seat for your baby:

The car seat needs to fit the baby. You need to have your child’s fundamental statistics written down and bring them when you are out shopping. Before purchasing a car seat, you must also look out for the weight and height limits. Be sure that your baby does not exceed either of the weight or height limits. Typically, most seats have about a 20-pound weight limit. If your baby weighs more than you’ll need to check other seats which come with a higher weight limit. Height limit is also crucial to make sure that the baby sits comfortably. Lower height limits may cause discomfort for the baby, and may be unsafe.

Once you have matched up your child’s height and weight to a suitable seat, find out how easy it is to install it. A proper infant’s seat should be one that is easy to install and use. You should be able to confidently buckle your baby to the seat at any time. It is an added bonus if the seat has quality features like no-twist harness straps or front harness adjustments. These features make the car seat even easier to use and they can make it faster and more convenient.

In addition, a good infant seat should fit your car. One should therefore find out whether the baby seat you would like to buy for your infant would fit in your car. To start you off, you might consider visiting the Car Seat Compatibility Database. Here you will get guidance on the seats that are likely to fit well in your car and those that will not. You will also get information about seating positions and how challenging they could be when installing or using the infant seat.

Keep in mind that an expensive car seat does not necessarily guarantee that it is the most compatible for your child, especially if its installation process and use is complex. Cheap car seats, though, would certainly miss extra features that are necessary to make the child safety seat convenient to use.
