Car Safety Seat Guidelines
| Age | Type of Seat | General Guideline |
| Infants | Infant-only and rear-facing convertible | All infants should always ride rear-facing until they are 2 years of age and weigh at least 20 pounds. |
| Toddlers/ Preschoolers | Convertible and forward-facing | Recent articles and data suggest it is best to ride rear-facing as long as possible until at least 2 years of age.* |
| School-aged children | Booster | Booster seats are for older children who have outgrown their forward-facing car safety seats. Children should stay in a booster seat until the adult seat belts fit correctly (usually when a child reaches about 4’ 9” in height, 100 lbs. in weight, and is between 8 and 12 years of age). |
| Older children | Seat Belts | Children who have outgrown their booster seats should ride in a lap and shoulder belt; they should ride in the back seat until 13 years of age. |
