Rear-to-Forward Facing

Rear facing is the safest way for children to travel. It is the best way to prevent brain and spinal cord injuries. It is best practice for a child to ride in a rear-facing car seat as long as possible. Ideally, this is until the child reaches the maximum height or weight limit indicated by their convertible car seat.

If a child has outgrown the limits of their rear-facing-only infant car seat, choose a convertible car seat that will continue to accommodate rear-facing longer, before converting to the forward-facing mode.
