The RIGHT Car Seat For MY Child
1. DOES IT FIT MY BABY?
Car seats have weight and height requirements:
​
-
Before you purchase a seat, check the one you select is for babies at least 5 pounds. Discuss with your doctor if you think you may deliver early. You may need to get a seat with a 4 pound minimum weight.
-
Most car seats have a lower limit. You may need to get a seat with a shorter minimum height requirement
2. DOES IT FIT MY VEHICLE?
All vehicles and car seats are different:
​
-
Car seats vary in size and shape.
-
Some stores will allow you to check if the car seat fits in your vehicle.
-
Read your vehicle owner’s manual to see where you can put a car seat in your vehicle.
3. ​WILL I USE IT CORRECTLY EVERY TIME?
​
-
Check the seat every time to make sure it hasn’t become loose.
-
Your child needs to be positioned in the car seat correctly every time.
-
Some car seats are easier to use than others. Check Ease of Use Ratings at www.safecar.gov/parents/Car-Seat-Safety.
-
You can check the web page of the car seat manufacturer to find videos on how to use each seat.
-
The car seat must be installed in the vehicle correctly.
