DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE UPDATED CAR SEAT RECOMMENDATIONS? THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF PEDIATRICS STATES THAT CHILDREN SHOULD BE REAR-FACING UNTIL THEY ARE TWO YEARS OLD OR UNTIL THEY OUT GROW THE HEIGHT AND WEIGHT LIMIT FOR THEIR CAR SEAT. NEXT, USE A FIVE POINT HARNESS SYSTEM AS LONG AS POSSIBLE, UNTIL THE CHILD OUTGROWS THE WEIGHT AND HEIGHT LIMITS OF THE HARNESS, BEFORE MOVING TO A BOOSTER SEAT. FINALLY, BOOSTER SEATS MAY BE NEEDED UNTIL EIGHT TO TWELVE YEARS OF AGE UNLESS HE OR SHE IS FOUR FEET, NINE INCHES TALL. YOUR CHILD SHOULD RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT UNTIL THEY ARE AT LEAST THIRTEEN YEARS OLD FOR OPTIMAL SAFETY IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION.
