What type of car safety seat should I use?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to children and car safety seats. The best car seat is the one that fits your child securely and keeps them safe. Broadly speaking, that means using a rear-facing seat from age 0 to 2, a forward-facing seat from age 2 to 4, and a booster seat from age 4 to age 8 or when they reach 4’9”.

All children’s safety seat manufacturers set height and weight limits for their devices, so your child may require a different seat when they exceed those limits. Refer to the guidelines listed on your car seat or get help from a professional.
