For the best possible protection
keep infants in the back seat, in
rear-facing child safety seats,

rear-facing seats (at a minimum
age 1 and at least 20 pounds) they
should ride in forward-facing
child safety seats, in the back seat,
until they reach the upper
weight or height limit of
the particular seat (usually
around age 4 and 40
pounds).
Step 3:
Once children outgrow their
forward-facing seats (usually
around age 4 and 40 pounds),
they should ride in booster seats,
in the back seat, until the vehicle
seat belts t properly. Seat belts

belt lays across the upper
thighs and the shoulder
belt ts across the chest

they are 4', 9" tall).
Step 4:
When children outgrow
their booster seats, (usually
at age 8 or when
they are 4’9” tall)
they can use the
adult seat belt in
the back seat, if it
ts properly (lap belt lays across
the upper thighs and the shoulder
belt ts across the chest). All
