Choosing Car Seat Mode 4
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 of these modes 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.

chor bars installed in designated seating positions. Most vehicles manufactured after
