car seats by age (simply click the next document)

Each car seat is specifically designed to fit a certain age group. It's recommended that children ride in their seats until they meet the manufacturer's weight or height limits, and then use a booster seat until their vehicle belts are properly fitted, usually when they reach 4 feet 9 inches tall or age 10-12.

When you are looking for a new car seat, think about features such as fabric that resists staining, pieces that are removable and can be machine washed, and accessories that can be cleaned.

Rear-facing

Rear-facing car seats hold babies and toddlers, shielding their delicate necks and spines in the event of a collision. They are also safer, as they disperse the force of an impact over a larger area. This reduces the risk of the chance of injury to the spinal cord.

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

Children's heads are big in relation to their bodies and is still developing. This makes them more vulnerable to injury in a crash. The head of a child can produce up to 25 times their body weight in the event of a collision which is more than enough force to cause fatal injury. This is why children of the ages of 5 and under are at the highest risk for fatal head trauma when they sit in a car seat that is facing the front.

Many parents think that their kiddos have necks that are stronger than their older children, meaning they can handle the transition to a forward-facing car seat sooner. It's important to keep in mind that a child who is in the 95th percentile isn't stronger than a child who is 5th percentile, and that no amount of push-ups performed by teens will alter the fact that. In the case of a car crash, a bigger kid's head is more likely to be hit with much more force, which could cause spinal cord and brain injuries.

When your child has outgrown their infant carrier seat car seat, you can convert to a convertible seat that allows them to remain rear-facing until they reach their maximum height or weight limit. Children typically reach their height limit first. This is why it is essential to follow the guidelines of the manufacturer of the car seat on when you can switch them to forward-facing mode.

When your child reaches the weight or height limit of their convertible car seat, you'll have to place them in an adult booster seat. Most booster seats have an integrated angle indicator that will inform you whether the seat is installed and ready to flip to forward-facing mode. Use a booster only at the back of your infant car seat and always with the seat belt (never shoulder belts) to provide the best security for your child.

Forward-facing

Parents are often enticed by the idea of turn their child's car seat as they get older, because it is more convenient. However, they must remember that rear-facing seats are a safer option for children.

In the event of a crash that involves the baby car seat facing towards the front the neck could be at risk. The head could be thrown against the front seat and cause permanent spine damage. Even if the child's neck muscles are strong enough, it is still possible for them to experience whiplash. This is particularly applicable to children who are younger, such as infants.

A child facing in the direction of the driver is more likely hit his head on the dashboard, or even a window, in the event of a crash. Depending on the nature of the crash and the speed at which the car is moving, the head can be pulled backwards against the seat and may break the skull or spinal cord.

The current safety standards mandate that kids remain rear-facing until they are 20 pounds and one year of age. The reason is that children who are younger do not have the neck strength to withstand a head-on crash which is the most dangerous kind of car accident.

The harness and tether help keep the child's head in place, reducing neck strain. In addition, a rear-facing child is less likely to sustain head injuries due to the fact that 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, you should read the instructions provided by the manufacturer to determine if it's safe to face forward. The guidelines will tell you whether or not you should use a tether and the height and weight limits for the seat.

Once your child has reached the maximum weight or height allowed by the car seat manufacturer, they are able to use a forward-facing seat that has a tether. Once they have outgrown this, it's time to travel in a booster seat.

Seat booster

There is no magic age or height when kids can safely stop using a booster seat. Kids should use it until the vehicle belt fits them properly and that could take between the ages of 8 and 13.

A booster increases the height of a child to ensure that they can sit upright in the car. It also places the shoulder portion of the belt so it lies close to but not directly over the chest. The lap part of the belt should rest across the thighs, not on the stomach. Booster seats have a built-in belt guides to help ensure the belt is positioned correctly.

Booster seats can be purchased with or without a rearrest. The most popular type is a high-back booster, which offers neck and head support for children. This is a good choice for vehicles with low backs and no headrests. Backless boosters can be cheaper, but they don't provide head or neck support. Certain all-in-one boosters allow users to switch between harness and booster modes, which makes them suitable for kids in harness mode up to about 65 pounds and then as a booster seat for about 100 pounds.

Certain boosters have an anchor system for lower anchors (LATCH) that hooks to the lower anchors on the vehicle and a tether when available. Others require the vehicle seat belt to hold them in place. Check your vehicle's manual to determine if you're able to use the lower anchors inside your car, and also read the instructions for booster seats to learn how to use them.

Some parents might be tempted to move their 30-pound, 3-year-old child into a booster car seat because the child is becoming too tall to fit in the harness seat. It's risky to "graduate" a child from the harness. If the belt is not secure enough, children can be seriously injured or even die in an accident.

Back seat

All children should use the child safety or booster seat correctly installed for as long as they're able. Children who are too big for a rear facing car seat, or have exceeded the weight and height limits they should change to a forward-facing restraint that has a harness until they reach the maximum height allowed for this type of seat.

After your lightweight baby car seat has outgrown an infant carrier seat car seat, you can switch them to a convertible car seat or all-in-one car seats with the option of rear-facing. These seats can typically be used up to two years or until your child outgrows the seat's highest weight and height limit. If you have a car with a middle seat install the car safety seat so that it is securely secured in this location with the lower anchor system or seat belt.

If your child is no longer in a rear-facing car seat and is tall enough, they can be put in a child restraint that is front-facing equipped with a harness and tether. These seats are usually used until your child reaches 57 inches in height or attains the maximum weight and height recommendations for the seat. You can determine how tall and heavy the car seat is by reading the manufacturer's instructions, or by looking at a tag attached to it.

All children older than 5 years old must be seated in a booster seat or a lap belt in the vehicle as much as possible. If not, they should use the middle back seat restraint. Additionally it is not recommended to sit in the front seat when there's an air bag that is in use. Putting children in the front seats can increase their chances of getting injured in a crash, because the impact forces are greater on their smaller bodies.

It's a good idea bring your child to a local car seat clinic or inspection station to help with choosing and installing the most suitable child safety seat. You can also determine if your car seat has been recalled for flaws or safety concerns. You can then purchase one that is suitable for your car and the child's height. If you're unable to try the seat, find out if the seat has a policy for refunds.
