Rear-Facing Use Requirements
3
Measure your child’s weight and height
(do not guess) before choosing the car seat’s mode.
Your child’s height, weight, and age determine how the car seat should
be placed in the vehicle. Children vary widely in body size, shape,
and temperament—please consult your doctor before switching
between any types or modes of car seats within the limits and fit
requirements of the seat.
State Laws
Please be certain to follow your state’s laws regarding car seat use.
American Academy of Pediatrics Recommendations
Infants and Toddlers: Should ride in a rear-facing car seat as long as
possible, until they reach the highest weight or height allowed by their
seat.
Toddlers and Preschoolers: Once they are facing forward, children
should use a forward-facing car seat with a harness for as long as
possible, until they reach the height and weight limits for their seats.
School-Aged Children: Once they have outgrown their forward-facing
car seat, children should use a belt-positioning booster seat until the
vehicle’s lap and shoulder seat belt fits properly. This is often when
they have reached at least 4 feet 9 inches in height and are 8 to 12
years old.
Older Children: All children younger than 13 years should be re-
strained in the rear seats of vehicles for optimal protection.
