Baby car seats are considered safer than not having anything to hold the baby in a moving car or even holding them manually at times. Since a moving car can have the risk of jerk due to breaking caused by a sudden situation on the road, its always better to have your baby placed safely in a baby car seat. It also helps you feed the baby with ease and prevents litter and mess in the car.
