Health Tip: Choosing a Car Seat
By LadyLively on April 18, 2019
Thousands of young children face injury or death in car accidents each year. Proper use of car seats can keep children safe in the event of a crash, says American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
The AAP provides these guidelines for choosing car seats:
- All infants and toddlers should ride in a rear-facing seat.
- After outgrowing a rear-facing seat, a child should ride in a forward-facing seat with a harness.
- After outgrowing the forward-facing seat, a child should use a belt-positioning booster seat.
- Children old enough and large enough to fit correctly should use seat belts.
- All children under 13 years of age should ride in the back seat.
