Child Car Seat Vests Vs Travel Car Seat Vest

A Car Seat Vest is a common feature in most car seats. This non-intrusive, secure child safety item can help keep your young ones safe while riding in your car. Made of 100% cotton, this stylish vest can help protect your child in the same way as the car seat itself. Made by leading manufacturers in the car seat market, this simple and convenient child restraint is easy to wear and flexible – making it an ideal travelling partner for younger children in school buses and taxis. Available in three colours, designed for smaller children aged up to 3 years, with the option of a harness and neck strap included.

The installation process for a car seat vest is quite straightforward and typically requires only one adult to assist when putting the system on. Most systems are fastened from beneath the belt buckle by means of a quick detach harness and then attached to the seat belt with a quick detach strap or hook & loop. If using a harness, ensure that the straps are made of high-quality, durable fabric to prevent buckling and are capable of carrying more weight. A quick detach harness can be quickly detached from the system to be discarded (if necessary) after use.

A car seat vest is a simple, affordable alternative to installing a child safety belt, as they are easier to remove should your little one need to be removed from the vehicle for some reason. As mentioned previously, adjustments to the length of the harness are a cinch, and adjustments to the number of adjustable straps are also easy to make. All in all, the vest compliments the seat belt rather than competes with it. Versatile and easy to store, most products fold flat for storage, and some even have washable features for maintenance purposes.

What exactly is a crotch strap? It’s a long thin piece of fabric tied around the shoulder with a line or cord so that it can be pulled through the harness and under the seat belt. The purpose of this piece of fabric is to hold the body against the vehicle, and is important because it provides support for the “belly” of the child. The ride on car seat vest is often an integral part of the child’s car seat and serves to protect and comfort the child during the entire ride.

An alternative to a wearable car seat vest is a travel car seat vest. Traveling with a child can be a difficult task, especially in today’s often cramped cars. This product comes in various sizes and designs, and serves as an affordable, lightweight replacement to the traditional child safety belt. Available in several colors and fabrics, these products usually incorporate some type of zippered cover so that the owner may easily change the front location of the safety belt to accommodate their needs, such as infant sleeping bags. These products are designed to be worn on the back of the shoulder, or in place of a child safety belt, and are quite popular among parents of young children while traveling.

Both of these products are great ways to ensure the safety of your child while riding in the car. The addition of a lapel pin to the lapel of the child safety belt helps to identify the wearer as being under the authority of the driver at all times. For added protection against a child’s seat belt, be sure to choose a five-point harness that attaches to the top most point of the car seat. With the attachment of the five-point harness to the harness ring, the five-point harness instantly becomes a five-point belt, providing better protection than the lap vest or travel car seat vest could ever provide.
