ano magandang child seats para sa 8 month old baby and a 2 year old toddler ?

I think there are Graco seats being sold in Baby shops with matching straps and seat belts as well as installation tools.

buy those 3-in-1 child seat for your 8 monyh old. its a child basket, car seat and a stroller (actually it a 3 piece stroller). sa SM maraming variety and cheaper (go for a graco or evenflo).

for your 2 year old, backet seats are needed. either with harness only or those with plastic bars in front (ala roller coaster harness).
get those seat that are suitable also for older toddlers.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (US):
- Infants, from birth to age one, and at least 20 pounds should ride in the back seat in a rear facing safety seat.

- Children over one year and at least 20 pounds may ride in a forward facing child safety seat in the back seat. Children should ride in a safety seat with full harness until they weigh about 40 pounds.

Of course, these are guidelines for US driving conditions which we may use as a baseline for us here in the Phils.

Getting the appropriate child seat for your kids is only the first step to protecting them in the even of a crash. Making sure that installing the child seat properly to the car and harnessing your child properly to the child seat everytime you use it is equally important. Just refer to the users manual for the proper usage of these safety equipment.

Hope this helps!

nung infant pa yung baby ko, i bought the graco stroller/car seat combination. maganda reviews nya, rear-facing, and served me well until di na kasya yung anak ko.

then i bought the chicco front facing car seat nung toddler na sya. we still use it for long drives. quality and durability is the same with graco din.

btw, ok daw yung recaro na child seats, kaya lang mahal
