Car Seats by Age

Each car seat is made to be suitable for a particular age group. Children should use their car seat until they reach the limit of the manufacturer's weight or height. After that, they can use a booster until their vehicle belts fit correctly, usually when they are between 10 and 12 years old or 4 feet 9 inches tall.

When you are looking for a new car seat, think about features like fabric that is resistant to stains, removable pieces that can be machine washed, and accessories that can be cleaned.

Rear-facing

Rear-facing car seats hold babies and toddlers, shielding their delicate spines and necks in the event of a crash. They are also safer since they spread the force of impact across more of a larger area, which limits the risk of injuries to the spinal cord.

Parents are often enticed by the thought of bringing their children to a forward-facing seat before they're ready. However the American Academy of Pediatrics advises that you keep them rear-facing for as long as possible. This means they should be moved to a forward-facing seat only when they've reached the maximum weight or height limit of their current seat, as specified by the manufacturer.

The heads of children are huge relative to their bodies, and are developing, which makes them more vulnerable to crash. In reality children's heads can generate up to 25 times the force of their body weight in the event of a collision. This is more than enough to cause a fatal injury. This is why children of the ages of 5 and under are at the highest chance of suffering fatal head injuries when they ride in a front-facing car seat.

Many parents think that their kiddos have necks that are stronger than older kids, so they'll be able to make the transition to an forward-facing car seat faster. It is important to keep in mind that a child who is in the 95th percentile of their age isn't any more powerful than a child who is 5th percentile and that no amount of push-ups performed by teens can change that. In the event of a car accident the head of a larger child is likely to hit with more force, which could result in spinal cord and brain injuries.

When your child has outgrown their car seats newborn seat for infants, you can switch to convertible cars that let them stay rear-facing up until they reach their maximum weight or the height limit. Children usually reach their height limit first. This is why it is essential to follow the guidelines of the manufacturer of the car seat regarding when to switch to forward-facing mode.

When your child reaches the weight limit or height of their convertible car seat, you'll need to place them in an adult booster seat. The majority of booster seats come with an inbuilt angle indicator that informs you when the seat is properly installed and is ready to switch to face forward. You should only use a booster seat on the back of your vehicle and always with a lap belt (never a shoulder belt) to ensure the strongest protection for your child in a crash.

Forward-facing

Many parents are enticed by the idea of switch their kids' car seats around when they grow older, because it's more practical. However, they should remember that rear-facing seats are safer for children.

In a crash with the baby facing towards the front, the neck is at risk. The head could be thrown against the front seat by force and cause permanent damage to the spine. Whiplash is still a possibility even in the event that the neck muscles of the child are strong. This is especially true for younger children like infants.

A child who is facing forward is more likely to strike their head on the dashboard or in front of the window in the event of an accident. Depending on the nature of the crash and the speed at which the vehicle is moving the head could be pulled into the seat and break the skull or spinal cord.

The current safety standards require children to remain rear-facing until both they reach 20 pounds and one year old. This is due to the fact that younger children do not have the strength of their necks to withstand the forces in a head-on collision, which tends to be the most severe kind of accident in which automobiles are involved.

The use of a harness or tether when rear-facing helps ensure that the child's head is stable and reduces the stress on their necks. In addition, a rear-facing child is less likely to sustain head injuries since the impact is cushioned with the body of the seat.

If you have a child less than one year old, and they are in a convertible seat or an all-in-one which can be turned from rear-facing to forward-facing at any time, read the instructions provided by the manufacturer to determine if it's safe to face forward. The guidelines of the manufacturer will inform you whether or whether a tether is required and what the maximum weight and height are for the particular seat.

When your child reaches the maximum weight or height allowed by the car seat manufacturer, they can travel in a forward-facing car seat that has a tether. When they've reached that point, you can now take them on a trip with a booster.

Booster seat

There is no age limit or height that children are able to safely stop using booster seats. Kids should use one until the vehicle belt fits them properly and that could take anywhere from age 8 to 13.

A booster raises a child's height so they can comfortably sit upright in the car. The shoulder part of a belt is set so that it sits close to the chest, but not directly above. The lap portion of the belt must rest across the thighs, not over the stomach. Booster seats have a built-in belt guide to help ensure the belt is correctly positioned.

Booster seats come with or without backrests. The most common type is a high-back booster that provides neck and head support for children. It's a great choice for vehicles with low seat backs, and no head rests. Backless boosters can be less expensive but they don't provide head or neck support. Some all-in one boosters let you switch between harness and boost modes. They are suitable for children up to 65 pounds in harness mode, and up to 100 pounds as a booster.

Some boosters have an anchor system for lower anchors (LATCH) that hooks to the vehicle's lower anchors and a tether in the event that it is available. Some boosters require the vehicle's seat belt to keep them in place. Check your vehicle's owner's manual to find out if you are able to use the lower anchors. Also, you should read the instructions for the booster seat to understand how to use it.

Some parents might be tempted to transfer their 30-pound 3-year-old child to a booster car seat because the child is growing too tall to fit in a harness seat. But rushing to "graduate" your child out of the harness is risky. Children can be injured or even killed if their belt is too loose in the event of a crash.

Back seat

All children should use a child safety seat or booster seat correctly installed as long as they can. Children who are too big for a rear-facing car seat, or have exceeded its height and weight limits should move to a forward-facing child restraint with a harness until they are too tall for this type of seat.

When your child is no longer able to fit in an infant car seat, they can be transferred to a convertible or an all-in-one car seat that also has a rear-facing seat. Usually, these seats can be used for up to two years or until your child is over the seat's weight and height limit. If you own a car with a middle-seat, install the car safety seat so it can be secured tightly in this location with the lower anchor system or seat belt.

If your child is no longer in a rear-facing car seat it is possible to place them in a front-facing child restraint fitted with a harness and tether. The majority of these seats can be used until 57 inches or until your child is at the top weight and height limits of the seat. The instructions from the manufacturer or a sticker on the car seat will let you know how tall and heavy it is able to support.

If possible the older children should be seated in a booster seat or lap belt. If not, they should use the middle back seat restraint. It is also recommended to not sit in front when the airbag is in use. Placing children in the front seat could increase their chances of being injured during an accident because the force of impact is greater on their smaller bodies.

You can take your child to an inspection station or a car seat clinic for assistance in choosing and installing the right child safety seat. They can also find out whether your car seat is being recalled due to problems or safety concerns. You can then buy one that is suitable for your vehicle and the child's height. If you are unable to test a seat, check to find out if the seat has a refund policy.
