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 fi ts 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 restrained in the rear
seats of vehicles for optimal protection.
