Use the Correct Child Restraint System for Your Child’s Age and Size | Toledo, Ohio Child Accident Lawyer

  1. Keep your child in a rear-facing seat until your child is at least 1 year old and at least 20 pounds.
  2. Use a forward-facing seat with a harness after your child has outgrown their rear-facing seat.  Your child should stay in this seat until they weigh approximately 40 pounds or their ears reach the top of the seat.
  3. Use a booster seat when your child has outgrown the forward-facing seat.  Be sure to check the height and weight limits for the seat you own.  Your child needs to use a booster seat from about 4 to 8 years old or until your child reaches about 4 feet, 9 inches.
  4. Keep your child in a booster seat until the adult lap-and-shoulder belt fits properly.  The seat belt should lie across the chest between the neck and arm and the lap belt must be across the upper thighs, not the soft stomach.
  5. An adult lap-and-shoulder belt can be used when your child is tall enough (usually about 4 feet, 9 inches) to sit against the back of the car's seat with their legs bent at the knees with their feet hanging down.
