Car Seats by Age

Each car seat is specifically designed to fit a certain age group. Children should use their car seat until they are at the manufacturer's weight or height limits. After that, they can utilize 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 you are looking for a new car seat, consider features like fabric that is resistant to staining, removable pieces that can be washed by machines, and equipment that is easy to clean.

Rear-facing

Rear-facing car seats cradle babies and toddlers, securing their delicate necks and spines in the event of a crash. They are also safer, as they spread the force of impact over a greater area. This reduces the risk of spinal cord injuries.

This is the reason why children who are in a car seat that is facing to the side are at a higher chance of suffering fatal head injuries.

Many parents believe that their children have bigger necks and are able to make the transition to a car seat that faces forward sooner. However, it's important to keep in mind that a child who is in the 95th percentile isn't any stronger than the 5th percentile child and no amount of push-ups for teens can alter this. In the case of a car accident the head of a bigger child is likely to be hit with more force. This can result in injuries to the spinal cord or brain.

Forward-facing

Parents are often enticed to change their baby's car seat around as they get older, simply because it's more practical. But they must remember that rear-facing seats are safer for children.
