 STEP
1
Rear-Facing Infant Seats
for children from birth to at least one year
and at least 20 pounds.
 STEP
2
Forward-Facing Child Safety Seats
for children at least one year old and 20 pounds
until they reach 40 pounds, typically around age four.
 STEP
3
Belt-Positioning
Booster Seats
for children over 40 pounds but younger than eight years old and
not yet 4-feet 9-inches tall. A booster seat positions a child so
the belt fits properly and the child isn't thrown from the car or
truck in a crash.
 STEP
4
Seat Belts
for older children large enough for a seat belt to fit properly,
typically children at least 4-feet 9-inches tall. Remember--children
under 12 years old should always ride in the back seat, where they
are safest.
