Car Seat Recommendations:
As children grow, how they sit in your car will change. Make sure you use a car seat that fits your child’s current size and age.
Not all car seats fit in all vehicles. Make sure the car seat is the right fit for your vehicle (PDF, 1.77 MB). Test the car seat you plan to buy to make sure it fits well in your vehicle.
Buy a car seat that can be installed and used correctly every time.
Keep your child in the back seat at least through age 12.
