Steps
1. Decide if you started buying a car seat (known in many countries as carrier of Group 0) or a convertible seat.
The carriers are for newborns and babies up to 10 to 14 kilos depending on the manufacturer. These are designed to be rear-facing only, and many can easily engage and disengage a large installed base in your car, making it suitable to transport the baby without waking him. Some are sold in conjunction with the stroller or buggy.

Some models of convertible car seats transform into lifting and can be used by children up to 45 kilos. The disadvantage is that your baby will always have to be placed and removed the seat, even when sleeping.

Based on the data we can say that it is safer for small children go looking back. For this reason, many parents seek seats with capacity to be in that position to have a weight of up to 16 kilos so they can keep their children in that position as long as possible.
4. Read reviews and customer feedback regarding any of the seats you’re considering. You can also ask other parents and professionals which seats are recommended.
