When to Switch to Forward-Facing

The AAP recommends that all infants and toddlers should ride in a rear-facing car seat as long as possible, untill they reach the highest weight or height allowed by their car seat. Most convertible seats have limits that will permit children to ride rear-facing for 2 years or more. Graco offers a line of car seats that help your child safely ride rear-facing longer, untill they reach 50 lb.

When to Switch to Forward-Facing

Once children have outgrown the rear-facing weight or height limit for their car seat, the AAP recommends that they use a forward-facing car seat with a harness for as long as possible, up to the highest weight or height allowed by their car seat. According to NHTSA, when compared with seat belts, 5-point harness restraints are associated with a 28% reduction in risk of serious injury. Graco offers seats with extended harness weight ratings up to 65 lb.

When to Use a Belt-Positioning Booster

After children have reached the maximum forward-facing harness weight or height for their car seat, the AAP recommends that they use a belt-positioning booster seat until the vehicle lap and shoulder seat belt fits properly, typically when they have reached 4 feet, 9 inches and are between 8 and 12 years old. Children can use just the vehicle seat belt once they can sit all the way back against the vehicle seat with knees bent at the edge of the seat, the shoulder belt fits across the collarbone and sits flush with the torso, the lap belt sits low on the hips and tops of the thighs, and they can stay seated this way for the entire ride.

Trueshield Technology

Car seats equipped with TrueShield technology offer advanced side-impact protection from your child’s head to hips. The protective shields help keep kids safe in the event of an impact from the side of your vehicle. While all Graco® car seats are side-impact tested, car seats with TrueShield technology undergo additional side-impact testing based on the European R129 testing standard.
