Which Car Seat Is Right For You?
There are three common types of car seats
available: infant car seats, convertible car seats, and booster
car seats.
NOTE: THE CHILD’S WEIGHT, HEIGHT, AND
AGE ARE ALL IMPORTANT FACTORS IN DETERMINING WHICH CAR SEAT IS
RIGHT FOR YOUR CHILD.
- Infant Car Seats
are designed for newborns and usually include a carry handle
to help parents transport their child to and from the car.
- Convertible Car Seats offer
more than one mode of use. They can be used rear-facing for an
infant and later used forward-facing for toddlers.
- Booster Car Seats with a
built-in harness can be used for toddlers. Older children can
use them as belt-positioning boosters until they no longer
need a car seat.
To determine which car seat type and model
meets your child’s needs, consult with a certified child
passenger safety technician and carefully read the car seat
package, warning labels and instruction manual.
