Car Seats by Age

Car seats are available in a variety sizes and shapes however, they are all designed to protect children according to their age. Children should be in their car seat until they are at the maximum weight or height limit set by the manufacturer. After that, they can use a booster until the belts of their vehicle fit properly and they're usually between 10 and 12 years old, or 4 feet 9 inches tall.

When looking for a new chair, look for features like fabric that is resistant to stains and pieces that are machine washable. Hardware that is easy to clean should also be taken into consideration.

Rear-facing

Rear-facing car seats cradle babies and toddlers, protecting their delicate spines and necks in the event of a crash. They're also safer because they distribute the impact force over a larger surface area which minimizes injuries to the spinal cord.

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

Children's heads are big in relation to their body and growing. This makes them vulnerable in the event of a crash. A child's head can produce up to 25 times the weight of their body in a collision, which is more than enough force to cause a fatal injury. This is why children who are in a car seat that is facing to the side are at a higher danger of suffering fatal head injuries.

Many parents believe that their children have stronger necks and can make the transition to a car seat facing forward sooner. It is important to keep in mind that a baby seat who is in the 95th percentile of their age isn't any more powerful than a child who's 5th percentile, and that no amount of push-ups by teens will alter that. In the case of a car accident, a bigger kid's head is likely to hit with greater force, which can cause spinal cord and brain injuries.

When your child outgrows their infant car seat that swivels car seat, you can convert to a convertible car seat that lets them remain facing the rear until they reach the maximum weight or height limit. In general, children will reach the height limit first and therefore it is important to pay close attention to 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 seat, you'll have to put them in a booster seat. The majority of booster seats come with a built-in angle indicator that tells you when the seat is properly installed and ready to change to face forward. You should only 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 enticed by the idea of change their children's car seats around when they grow older, because it seems more practical. But they must keep in mind that rear-facing seats are safer for children.

In the event of a crash that involves a lightweight baby car seat facing toward the rear, the neck is at risk. The head can be hit against the seat with force, causing permanent spine damage. Whiplash is still a possibility even in the event that the neck muscles of the child are strong. This is particularly true for smaller kids, like infants under one year old.

A forward-facing child is also more likely to strike their head on the dashboard or on the window in the event of an accident. Depending on the type of crash occurs and how fast the car is moving, the head could be hit against the seat. This could result in a fractured skull or spinal chord.

Current safety standards require kids to remain rear-facing until both they reach 20 lbs and one year old. This is because younger kids don't have the neck strength to withstand the force in a head-on collision which is the most severe kind of accident where automobiles are involved.

The harness and tether aid in keeping the child's head in place, reducing neck strain. A rear-facing child will also be less prone to head injuries because the impact is cushioned by their seat.

If you have a baby who is less than one year old and in a convertible car seat or an all-in-one seat that can switch from forward-facing to rear-facing be sure to follow the instructions of the manufacturer about when it is safe for your child to face the front. The guidelines will tell you whether or not you should use a tether and the weight and height limitations for the seat.

Once your child has reached the maximum height or weight permitted by the car seat manufacturer, they can travel with a forward-facing seat with tether. When they've outgrown this, it's time to get a booster seat.

Seat booster

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 can occur anywhere between 8 and 13 years old.

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

Booster seats can be purchased with or without a rearrest. The most common type is a high-back booster, which provides head and neck support for children. This is a good choice for vehicles with low backs and have no headrests. Backless boosters may be less expensive but they do not provide neck or head support. Certain all-in-one boosters allow you to switch between booster and harness modes, which makes them suitable for children who are in harness mode up to 65 pounds, and later as a booster seat up to about 100 pounds.

Some boosters come with a lower anchors system (LATCH) that connects to the lower anchors of the vehicle and a tether when available. Some require the car seat belt to keep them in position. You can refer to the owner's manual for your vehicle to determine if can use the lower anchors. Also, you should read the instructions for the booster seat to learn how to use it.

Parents may be enticed to move their 30-pound, 3-year-old child into an adult car seat since the child is growing too tall for the harness seat. However, rushing to "graduate" your child from the harness can be dangerous. If the belt is not secure enough children could be seriously injured or even killed in a collision.

Back seat

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

When your child is no longer able to fit in an infant car seat they can be moved to a convertible or all-in-one car seat with a rear-facing seat. These seats can typically be used for a period of up to 2 years or until your child reaches the seat's maximum height and weight limit. If you have a vehicle with a middle-seat, install the car safety seat in a way that it is securely secured to this spot using 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 fitted with a harness and tether. Typically, these seats can be used up to 57 inches or until your child is at the weight and height recommendations of the seat. The manufacturer's instructions or the tag on the car seat will tell you how tall and heavy it is able to support.

If you can it is recommended that all children over the age of 5 sit in a booster or lap belt. If not then they should use a back restraint in the middle of the back seat. In addition it is not recommended to sit in the front seat if there's an airbag that is active. Children who sit in the front seat are more likely to be injured in collisions since their bodies are smaller.

You can bring your child to an inspection station or a car seat clinic to get help selecting and installing the correct child safety seat. They can also check if your car seat has been recalled for defects or safety issues. You can then purchase one that is compatible with your vehicle and child's height. If you're unable to try a seat before buying, make sure it has an exchange policy.
