The type of car seat your child needs depends on their age, weight, and height. Infants should use rear-facing car seats, while older children can transition to forward-facing seats, and eventually, booster seats when they outgrow the previous ones.
Children should remain in rear-facing car seats until they reach the maximum height or weight limit recommended by the car seat manufacturer. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) advises keeping children in rear-facing seats as long as possible, ideally until age 2.
Proper installation is crucial for car seat effectiveness. Always follow the car seat manufacturer’s instructions and your vehicle’s manual. Consider having your car seat installation checked by a certified Child Passenger Safety Technician.
Most states and safety organizations recommend keeping children in the back seat until at least age 13. Click here for the Mississippi State Department of Health’s Child Passenger Safety Page.
