    The document discusses guidelines for properly securing infants, toddlers, and older children in car seats based on their age, weight, and height.

    Infants should ride in rear-facing seats as long as possible, at least until they are 12 months old and weigh at least 20 pounds. Don’t put a rear-facing seat in a front seat that is equipped with a passenger air bag.

    For kids over 1 year old and who weigh between 20 and 40 pounds, use a front-facing child-safety seat. Fasten the harness clip at armpit level. Route the harness straps in the harness slots at or slightly above shoulder level. Keep harness traps snug and flat. Keep the seat upright.

    For kids over 1 year old and who weigh

    Child Safety Car Seats


    Kids over 40 pounds can use booster seats. These seats position the installed lap belt over
    the child's hips and upper thighs, and the shoulder belt across the chest and shoulder. These seats require both lap and shoulder belts to be effective. If you car has a back seat that is lower than the child's ears, you need to get a high-back-style booster seat to protect the child's neck.

    Child Safety Car Seats


    By around age 8, kids can move to regular lap
    and shoulder belts. They must be tall enough to sit back against the seat with their knees bent over the edge. Never let the child sit with the shoulder belt under their arms or behind their back.

    Send in your child-safety-seat registration, so


    that you can be notified if the seat is recalled. Visit www.nhtsa.dot.gov, or call 888-DASH-2DOT. The back seat is usually the safest place for a child to ride. Replace any seat that has been involved in a crash.
