How to entertain baby in rear facing car seat? This is a common question for new parents. However, reading through this blog, you will learn more.
Rear-facing car seats can be frustrating for parents, especially when a child is old enough to start looking around and moving more. This takes some interesting parenting creativity so here are our favourite ideas for entertaining a baby in a rear facing car seat!

– Play classical music or white noise on your phone or tablet
– Keep an eye out for “toys” that attach to the handle (this works great!)
– Use snacks as rewards whenever you change songs/movies/scenes if needed
– Always keep extra toys in case one gets lost under the backseat cushions
When can I remove the newborn insert Joie I snug?
The newborn insert is recommended to be used until your baby reaches 11 pounds. Once this occurs, it can typically be removed from the car seat without any issue.
What side do you put an infant car seat on?
An infant car seat is a special type of baby carrier that locks onto the backseat of most vehicles.
The safest place for an infant to sit in a vehicle is in its rear-facing car seat, which you put on the passenger side (the driver’s) or another seating position with a lap and shoulder harness (which can be used by older children).
Unless your child safety laws state otherwise, infants should always ride in their seats. Some parents prefer to use convertible car seats until they are about 40 pounds because it allows them easier access into the car without disturbing sleeping babies.
It also means fewer trips out of the house when you have multiple kids to juggle at once. Many people ask whether one side of the back seat is more dangerous than the other and there’s no way to tell. That said, cars are built with child safety in mind.
Can you change the baby car seat covers?
You may be wondering whether or not you can change the car seat covers on your baby’s infant carrier. The short answer is yes, but there are a few things to consider before doing so.
First of all, it will depend upon what type of material your particular seat cover is made from and how old it is at this point.
If for some reason yours happens to have an issue with mould growing on it due to being left out near water (which isn’t uncommon), then replacing the entire thing might be necessary rather than simply trying to patch up the existing one.
However, if this doesn’t turn out to be the case with your model, try using bleach wipes first as these can often clean adult-sized seats very well.
How do you put a cosy car seat cover on?
Put your seat cover on backwards and then put it over the car seat. Make sure to tuck in all of the excess fabric so you can’t see anything underneath! When you’re finished, simply turn it right side around and enjoy a clean, cosy car seat for years to come.
You’ll keep your seats looking great while also protecting them from spills or stains at mealtimes (and other fun messes too!).
My daughter isn’t messy with food but she loves playing games like peek-a-boo under her blanket inside that I made for her using this tutorial which is super easy to follow along with if you’d like to make one yourself as well! It’s such an affordable project and makes their little space feel extra cosy.
How to put on a baby car seat cover
First, you should put the cover on while your baby is in the car seat. If it’s a two-piece cover like this one, then separate them and lay each part over either side of the car seat so that they touch but do not overlap.
Put both hands underneath where there are no buckles or harnesses and lift slightly to make sure that nothing will be underneath when you place down your child into their seat.
Next, hold onto any loose ends at all times as you pick up your infant out of their crib or stroller and move towards the backseat of your vehicle with slow movements to avoid startling them if they’re asleep before inserting them through the opening built-in between layer for safe securing from inside.
Where does an infant car seat go in SUV?
The infant car seat can be placed in the front or back passenger area of an SUV. It depends on your preference and comfort level with either option.
Keep safety in mind while making this decision, especially if you are placing an infant car seat behind the steering wheel; it is too close to airbag deployment during a crash. If you decide to place the baby carrier forward-facing make sure there’s enough space between child and dashboard for proper leg clearance (about two inches).
Also, keep the harness straps snug while driving so that they don’t get caught under brake/accelerator pedals when exiting the vehicle!
Make sure your rearview mirror isn’t obstructed by headrest either which could result in dangerous blind spots where other drivers may not see your baby even when in a rear-facing position!
