The First Years Via Infant Car Seat
The First Years Via Infant Car Seat is a moderately-priced seat with a few nice features. It comes with an EPS liner made of foam to provide increased protection in the event of a collision. There is also a triple layer of padding to provide a comfortable ride for the little one. It is intended to be rear facing only.
The First Years car seat has a 5-point safety harness to hold baby securely inside. The harness can be adjusted to the height of the baby.
The frame of The First Years Via Infant Car Seat has a multi beam form in the back to provide extra support to the seat. It also has deep side wings to protect the baby in the event of a side-impact accident. It uses a LATCH system to help keep the seat securely mounted in the vehicle without having to use adult seatbelts and shoulder straps. Parents like the comfortable carry-right handle. There is also a built in lock-off to help make installation secure. The seat is only intended for use by infants from four to 22 pounds, and no taller than 30 inches, so you will not be able to use the seat for long.
You want to protect your newborn. Although this seat offers good protection, it is a little high in price when compared to seats of comparable quality from other companies. The good thing is that the seat should still be in good shape after the newborn outgrows it, so you can either save it for any of your own future babies, or you can possibly get a good price for it selling it online. If you plan to do that, save the original box and packing materials so you can reship it to a potential buyer.
