Car Seats by Age
Each car seat is specifically designed for a specific age group. Children should be in their car seat until they are at the manufacturer's weight or height limits. Then, they are able to use a booster until the belts of their vehicle fit properly typically when they are between 10 and 12 years old, or 4 feet 9 inches tall.
If you are looking for a new seat look for features such as fabric that resists stains and pieces that can easily be machine-washed. Hardware that is easy to clean should be taken into consideration.
Rear-facing
Rear-facing car seats are designed to hold infants and toddlers, securing their delicate necks and spines in the event of a crash. They are also safer since they distribute the impact force over a larger area. This helps reduce the risk of injuries to the spinal cord.
Parents are often enticed to change their children to forward-facing car seats before they're ready, but the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that they remain rear-facing for as long as is possible. This means they should be moved to a forward-facing seat only after they've reached the maximum weight or height limit of their current seat, as stated by the manufacturer.
Children's heads are big in relation to their bodies and growing. This makes them vulnerable to injury in a crash. A child's head is capable of generating up to 25 times the weight of their body in an accident which is more than enough force to cause a fatal injury. That's why young children are at risk of sustaining fatal head injuries when they are in a car seat with a front view.
Many parents believe that their children have stronger necks and are able to make the transition to a car seat facing forward earlier. But it's important to remember that a child who is in the 95th percentile isn't any stronger than 5th percentile kids, and no amount of push-ups for teens can alter the fact that. In the case of a car crash, a bigger kid's head is more likely to be hit with much more force, which could result in brain and spinal cord injuries.
When your child outgrows their infant car seat for travel car seat, you can change to a convertible car seat that allows them to stay rear-facing until they reach the maximum weight or height limit. Children typically reach their maximum height first. This is why it is essential to follow the guidelines of the manufacturer of the car seat regarding when to switch to forward-facing mode.
When your child reaches the limit of weight or height of their convertible car seat, you'll have to put them in an adult booster seat. Most booster seats have a built-in angle indicator that informs you whether the seat is installed and ready to flip to forward facing infant car seat-facing mode. Make sure to use a booster in the back of your vehicle and always wear the seat belt (never shoulder belts) to provide the most secure security for your child.
Forward-facing
Many parents are enticed by the idea of change their children's car seats around as they grow older, because it's more convenient. But they should remember that rear-facing seats are the best option for children.
Having a baby face forward in a car seat puts their necks at risk in a crash because the head can be thrown by force against the seat's front and can cause permanent damage to the spine. Whiplash can happen even in the event that the neck muscles of the child are strong. This is particularly applicable to children who are younger like infants.
A forward-facing child is also more likely to strike their head against the dashboard or in front of the window during the course of a crash. Based on the kind of crash takes place and how fast the car is moving the head could be hit against the seat. This could result in fractured skulls or a spinal chord.
The current safety guidelines require children to remain rear-facing until they weigh 20 pounds and 1 year of age. This is because younger kids do not have the strength of their necks to withstand the forces in a head-on collision which is often the most severe kind of accident in which cars are involved.
The use of a harness or tether when facing rear helps keep the kid's head stable and reduces the strain on their necks. Furthermore the rear-facing child is less likely to suffer head injuries due to the fact that the impact is cushioned with the body of the seat.
If you have a child who is less than one year old and in a convertible car seat or all-in-one seat that can be changed from forward-facing to rear-facing be sure to follow the instructions of the manufacturer about when it is safe for your child to look towards the front. The guidelines from the manufacturer will indicate whether or whether a tether is required and what the maximum weight and height is for that particular seat.
When your child reaches the maximum weight or height allowed by the car seat manufacturer, they are able to travel with a forward-facing seat that has a tether. Once they've outgrown it, it's time to travel with a booster.
Booster seat
There is no set age or height at which children are able to safely stop using a booster seat. Kids should use one until the vehicle belt fits them correctly, and that can happen between the ages of 8 and 13.
A booster raises the height of a child to ensure that they can sit comfortably upright in a car. It also aligns the shoulder portion of the belt so it lies close to, but not over, the chest. The lap portion of the belt should rest on the thighs, not over the stomach. Booster seats come with a built-in belt guide to help ensure the belt is correctly positioned.
Booster seats can be bought with or without a rearrest. The most popular model is a high-back booster that provides neck and head support for children. It's a good choice for vehicles with low seat backs, and no head rests. Backless boosters are more affordable however they do not provide neck or head support. Some all-in one boosters allow you to switch between boost and harness modes. They are suitable for children up to 65 pounds in harness mode, and up to 100 pounds as boosters.
Certain boosters have an anchor system for lower anchors (LATCH) which connects to the vehicle's lower anchors and a tether in the event that it is available. Certain boosters require a seat belt to keep them in place. Go through the manual of your car to see if you can use the lower anchors inside your car, and also read the instructions for booster seats to learn how to use them.
Some parents might be enticed to let their 3-year old 30 pounds child take a straight booster seat, as they're becoming too tall for a car seat. It's risky to "graduate" children from to a harness. If the belt is loose children could be severely injured or even die in a crash.
Back seat
All children should use the child safety seat 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 limits of its weight and height, should switch to a forward facing child restraint that has a harness until they reach the maximum height for this type of seat.
After your baby outgrows an infant car seat they can be moved to a convertible, or an all-in-one car seat for newborn seat with a rear-facing seat. These seats typically last for two years, or until the child is at the maximum weight and height of the seat. If you have a vehicle with a middle-seat, install the car safety seat so that it is securely secured in this location with the lower anchor system or seat belt.
If your child has grown out of their rear-facing seat you can put them in a front-facing restraint using a harness. Typically, these seats can be used up to 57 inches tall or until your child outgrows the maximum weight and height limits of the seat. The instructions from the manufacturer or a sticker on the car seat will let you know how tall and heavy it is able to support.
If it is possible the older children should use a booster seat or lap belt. If not you can use a back restraint that is located in the middle of the back seat. They should also not sit in front of the car if the airbag is in use. Children who sit in the front seats are more likely to be injured in a collision because their bodies are smaller.
It's a good idea to bring your child to a local car seat clinic or inspection station to assistance in choosing and installing the best child safety seat. You can also see if your child's car seat has been recalled due to safety issues or defects. Then, you can purchase one that fits your vehicle and your child's size. If you're not able to test a seat before purchasing be sure that it comes with a return policy.
