Car Seats

There are three main stages your little one will grow through before transitioning into a standard seatbelt. Rear-facing baby car seats, suitable from birth to age two, is placed in the center rear seat with your baby facing the back of the car. Forward-facing toddler car seats, ages two to four and no more than 40 lb., is similar to rear-facing except positioned facing the front of the car. Belt-positioning boosters in high back and backless, ages 4 to 8 or up to 4’9, elevates your child on a higher seat while using the standard car seat belt. This slow, but secure move helps your baby gradually grow into a seatbelt safety. For meeting all these stages, try a car seat that transitions from one step to another. A car seat that grows with your little one helps to make the switch smooth and cost effective. If you are in need of an on-the-go option, try a convertible car seat that transforms into a stroller to make the switch from car to ground smooth.
