Car Seats by Age

Car seats are available in a variety shapes and sizes, but each one is designed to protect children according to their age. It is recommended that children sit in their seat until they meet the manufacturer's weight or height limits and then use a booster seat until their vehicle belts fit properly, typically when they reach 4 feet 9 inches tall or the age of 10-12.

If you are looking for a new chair, look for features such as fabric that is resistant to stains and pieces that are removable that can easily be machine-washed. Hardware that is easy to clean is also considered.

Rear-facing

Rear-facing car seats cradle babies and toddlers, protecting their delicate necks and spines in the event of a collision. They also offer greater safety, as they distribute the impact force over a larger area. This reduces the risk of the chance of injury to the spinal cord.

Parents are often enticed by the idea of move their kids into forward-facing car seats before they're ready, however the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that they remain rear-facing for as long as it is possible. The manufacturer will tell you when your child is ready to transition forward-facing.

The heads of children are huge relative to their bodies and still growing, which makes them especially vulnerable in a crash. In fact children's heads can exert up to 25 times the force of their weight in an accident -- more than enough to cause a fatal injury. This is the reason why children who are in a car seat facing towards the front are at the highest chance of suffering fatal head injuries.

Many parents believe that their children have larger necks and are able to make the transition to a car seat that faces forward sooner. However, it's important to realize that a child who is in the 95th percentile isn't any more powerful than 5th percentile kids, and no amount of teen push-ups will change the fact that. In the case of a car crash, the head of a larger child is likely to hit with greater force, which could cause brain and spinal cord injuries.

When your child has outgrown their infant car seat you can change to convertible cars that let them to remain rear-facing until they reach their maximum weight or the height limit. Generally, children will be the first to reach their height limit and it's crucial to follow the instructions of the manufacturer of your car seat on when you should switch to forward-facing.

If your child is at the weight or height limit of their convertible car baby seat, you'll have to place them in a booster seat. Most booster seats come with an angle indicator to let you know that the seat is properly installed and is able for flipping into forward-facing mode. It is best to use a booster seat on the back seat of your vehicle, and always with a lap belt (never a shoulder belt) to ensure the best protection for your child in case of crash.

Forward-facing

Many parents are tempted to change their children's car seats when they grow older because it's more convenient. They must remember, however, that rear-facing is the best option for children.

In a crash with an infant facing towards the front the neck is at risk. The head could be thrown against the front seat and cause permanent damage to the spine. Even if a child's neck muscles are strong enough, it's still possible for them to experience whiplash. This is particularly the case for children with smaller necks that aren't yet one year old.

A child who is facing forward is more likely to hit his head on the dashboard, or even a window in a crash. Depending on what kind of crash takes place and the speed at which the car is moving, the head may be hit against the seat. This could result in fractures to the skull or spinal chord.

Current safety standards require kids to remain rear-facing until both they reach 20 lbs and 1 year of age. This is because children younger than one year do not have the strength of their necks to withstand the force in a head-on collision which is the most severe kind of accident where cars are involved.

The harness and tether will aid in keeping the child's head steady which reduces neck strain. A child who is rear-facing will also be less prone to head injuries as the impact will be cushioned by their seat.

If you have a child younger than one year old, and they are in a convertible seat or an all in one that can be changed from rear-facing to forward-facing at any point, make sure you read the instructions provided by the manufacturer to determine when it's safe to face forward. The guidelines from the manufacturer will indicate whether or the need for a tether exists and what the maximum weight and height requirements are for the specific seat.

Once your child has reached the rear-facing car seat limitation They can now be in a forward-facing car seat using a harness and tether until they reach the top weight limit or height allowed by their car seat's manufacturer. Once they have outgrown this, it is time to move into a booster seat.

Booster seat

There is no age or height limit that children are able to safely stop using booster seats. The booster seat should be used until a child's vehicle belt fits properly. This could occur anytime between 8 and 13 years old.

A booster increases the height of a child, so that they can sit upright in a car. The shoulder portion of a belt is positioned so that it is close to the chest, but not above. The lap portion of the belt should rest across the thighs, not the stomach. Booster seats include a belt guide that helps to ensure that the belt is properly placed.

Booster seats come with or without a backrest. The most common type is a high-back booster which offers neck and head support for children. It is a great option for cars with low seat backs and no head rests. Backless boosters can be cheaper, 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 when used as a booster.

Some boosters have a lower anchors (LATCH) system that connects onto the lower anchors of the vehicle, and a tether when one is available. Others require the seat belt to hold them in position. You can refer to the owner's manual of your vehicle to find out if you can use the lower anchors. Also, make sure you read the instructions for the booster seat to understand how to use it.

Some parents may be tempted to let their 3-year old 30 pounds child take a straight booster seat since they're getting too tall for a car seat. However, rushing to "graduate" your child from the harness is risky. Children could be injured or even killed if the belt is too loose in the event of a crash.

Back seat

All children should ride in the back seat of a car for as long as is possible using a child safety seat or booster seat that has been properly installed. Children who are too big for a rear-facing car seat or have exceeded its weight and height limits should be moved to a forward-facing child safety seat with an appropriate harness until they're tall for this type of seat.

After your lightweight baby car seat outgrows an infant car seat for travel car seat they can be moved to a convertible or an all-in-one car seat with a rear-facing seat. These seats are generally good for two years, or until the child reaches the maximum height and weight of the seat. If you have a vehicle with a middle seat install the car safety seat so that it is secured in this position using the lower anchor system or seat belt.

If your child is no longer in a rear-facing car seat, they can be placed into a front-facing child restraint fitted with a harness and tether. The majority of these seats can be used until 57 inches tall or until your child outgrows the weight and height recommendations of the seat. The instructions from the manufacturer or the tag on the car seat will inform you the height and weight it can be.

All children over the age of 18 should be seated in the booster seat or on a lap belt in the vehicle, if possible. If they aren't able to then they should use the middle back seat restraint. Also, they should not sit in front if the airbag is activated. Sitting children in the front seats can increase the risk of injury in a crash, because the impact forces are greater on their smaller bodies.

It's a good idea to bring your child to a local car seat clinic or inspection station for help with choosing and installing the most suitable child safety seat. You can also determine if your child's seat has been removed due to safety issues or defects. You can then purchase one that's compatible with your car and your child's size. If you are unable to test a seat, check to see if it has a policy for refunds.
