When you're driving around with kids, you want to be sure that you've done everything you can to keep them safe. Their safety starts with riding in the proper car seats.
People often use infant car seats for newborns. These can be rear-facing and can be directly installed into a seat or installed with a car seat base. As children grow a bit bigger, they should remain rear-facing but can transition into a convertible seat. These seats have five-point harnesses and can safely be tethered in rear- or forward-facing positions. Some recommend only turning kids forward when they've reached the age of two or even later. When a child outgrows the height and weight capacity of a seat, you can make the move to a booster seat and have the child use a seat belt.
