Children’s CAR SEATS



Birth to 1 year.



Use a rear-facing infant safety seat. Some manufacturers now offer seats that have a higher weight limit, making it easier for you to keep your child in a rear-facing seat as long as up to the first two years of life



1 to 3 years.
Use a rear-facing convertible seat. A convertible seat can be changed from the rear-facing to the forward-facing position once your child has reached the rear-facing weight limit and is at least 1 year of age.

4 years of age and older.
Use a belt-positioning booster child safety seat. A belt-positioning booster seat raises your child so that the lap and shoulder belt fit properly, while protecting the child’s head and upper body. Make sure the seating position where your child is sitting with a booster seat has both a lab and shoulder belt. Use a high back booster for younger children who need the extra back and head support or if the seat is placed in a seating position that does not have a head rest behind it. Use a no-back booster for older kids who have a head rest in their seating position.

A few additional tips to remember...
Always use a car seat, starting with your baby’s first ride home from the hospital, and always use your own seat belt.

Read the car seat manufacturer’s instructions and always keep them with the car seat.

Read your vehicle owner’s manual for important information on how to install the car seat correctly in your vehicle.

It is always safest to have children ride in the back seat of the car.

Never place a back-facing car seat in the front seat of a car that has airbags.

Never have children share seat belts.
