Choosing the correct car seat type is important for your child's safety. Car seats are designed to protect children in the event of a collision, and the right type of car seat will provide the best possible protection for your child's age, size, and developmental stage.
There are three main types of car seats: infant car seats, convertible car seats, and booster seats.
Infant car seats are designed for babies from birth to about 2 years old, or until they reach the weight or height limit of the seat. Infant car seats are rear-facing only. Usually comes with a compatible stroller for easy transport of baby from car to stroller.
Convertible car seats can be used in both rear-facing and forward-facing positions. They can be used from birth until about 6 years old, or until the child reaches the weight or height limit of the seat. Click the link for more info on How Long Should My Child Use a Rear-Facing Car Seat?
Booster seats are used for children who have outgrown their convertible car seat. They help to raise the child up so that the vehicle seat belt can fit properly. Booster seats should be used until the child is 4 feet 9 inches tall and weighs at least 80 pounds

The type of car seat you need: Choose a car seat that is the right type for your child's needs and the type of vehicle you have.

Here are some safety tips for using a car seat:
Always keep your child in a rear-facing car seat for as long as possible. Rear-facing is the safest way for children to travel in a car.
Make sure that the car seat is properly installed and that the harness is snug but not too tight.
Check the car seat regularly to make sure that it is still in good condition and that it has not been recalled.
Never leave your child unattended in a car seat.
