Keep your car seat in plastic here bags or similar containers when not in use. Also, keep it away from places where rodents are likely to hide.

If you plan to use your car seat pram to carry baby carriers, be sure to stow all of the additional parts that are included. Included in this are infant inserts, strap pads and any additional bases you have. You may also want to store stroller adaptors that fit the car seat in the same area. This will make it easier to re-install the car seat in the event of a need.

When you're ready to put away your car seat, check for signs of wear and tear before putting it away. If you notice cracks in the base, tears or stains on the fabric, or any issues with the buckle or latch systems, it's the time to purchase new ones.

Baby strollers and baby carriers can offer the same benefits as a car seat but are generally used for older infants. There are frame backpack carriers, hip carriers and mei tais, or slings.
