Keep your 4 to 7 year old children in FORWARD-FACING car seats with a harness until they reach the top height or weight limit allowed by your car seat's manufacturer.

Once they outgrow their forward-facing car seat with a harness, it's time to travel in a BOOSTER SEAT ... and still in the back seat.

Important!!! Follow your car seat manufacturer's instructions and your vehicle owner's manual on how to install.
Important!!! GET HELP - Certified technicians are available to check your car seat installation for free. Click HERE to find your nearest inspection station.
