car seats by age, http://tst.ezmir.co.kr/bbs/board.php?bo_table=qna&wr_id=141932,

Car seats are available in a variety of sizes and shapes, but each one is designed to protect children according to their age. It is recommended that children ride in their seats until they reach the manufacturer's height or weight limits and then use a booster seat until their vehicle belts are fitted properly, usually when they attain 4 feet 9 inches tall or age 10-12.

When you are looking for a new car seat, take into consideration features like fabric that is resistant to staining, removable pieces that can be washed by machines, and accessories that can be cleaned.

Rear-facing

Rear-facing car seats hold babies and toddlers, securing their delicate necks and spines in the event of a crash. They also offer greater safety, as they disperse the force of an impact over a greater area. This reduces the risk of spinal cord injuries.

Parents are often tempted by the idea of moving their children forward facing before they're ready. However the American Academy of Pediatrics advises to keep them rear-facing for as long as possible. The manufacturer will inform you when your child is ready to transition forward.

The heads of children are huge in relation to their bodies and is still developing. This makes them more vulnerable in a crash. A child's head can generate up to 25 times the weight of their body in the event of a collision which is more than enough force to cause a fatal injury. That's why young children are at risk of sustaining fatal head injuries when they sit in a front-facing car seat.

Many parents think that their kiddos have necks that are stronger than older children, which means they'll be able to make the transition to an forward-facing car seat faster. But it's important to remember that a 95th percentile baby isn't as strong as the 5th percentile child and no amount of push-ups for teens can change that. In the event of a car crash the head of a bigger child will likely be struck with more force. This can lead to injuries to the spinal cord and brain.

If your child is outgrowing their infant car seat, you can change to convertible cars that let them stay rear-facing up until they reach their maximum weight or height limit. Children typically reach their height limit first. Therefore, it is important to follow the instructions of the manufacturer of the car seat on when you can switch them to forward-facing mode.

If your child has reached the weight capacity of their convertible car seat or height limit, you will need to move them into the booster. The majority of booster seats have an angle indicator to let you know when the seat is properly installed and is able for flipping into forward-facing mode. Make sure to use a booster in the rear of your vehicle and always wear the seat belt (never shoulder belts) to provide the best protection for your child.

Forward-facing

Many parents are enticed by the idea of turn their babies' car seats around as they grow older, because it is more practical. But they must keep in mind that rear-facing is safer for children.

In the event of a crash that involves an infant facing forward the neck could be at risk. The head can be thrown against the front seat with force, causing permanent damage to the spine. Whiplash is still a possibility even when the neck muscles of the child are strong. This is especially true for smaller kids such as infants who are less than one year old.

A forward-facing child is also more likely to hit their head on the dashboard or on the window in the event of a crash. Depending on the type of crash and the speed at which the car is traveling the head could be pulled backwards against the seat and break the skull or the spinal cord.

The current safety standards require children to remain rear-facing until they weigh 20 pounds and one year old. This is because children younger than one year don't have the neck strength to withstand the forces involved in a head-on collision which is the most severe kind of accident in which automobiles are involved.

Utilizing a harness and tether when facing rear helps keep the child's head in a stable position and reduces strain on their necks. A child facing the rear facing infant car seat will be less likely to sustain head injuries as the impact will be cushioned by their seat.

If you have a child less than one year old, and they are in a convertible seat or an all in one that can be changed from rear-facing to forward-facing at any point, make sure you read the instructions provided by the manufacturer to determine when it's safe to face forward. The manufacturer's guidelines will tell whether or whether a tether is required and what the maximum weight and height is for that particular seat.

Once your child has reached the maximum weight or height allowed by the car seat manufacturer, they are able to travel in a forward-facing car seat that has a tether. When they've outgrown this, it's time to get the booster seat.

Seat booster

There is no set age or height when kids can safely stop using the booster seat. Children should use a booster seat until the vehicle belt fits them properly and that could take between the ages of 8 and 13.

A booster raises the height of a child to ensure that they are able to sit upright in cars. It also places the shoulder portion of the belt in a way that it is near but not over the chest. The lap portion of the belt must rest across the thighs, not the stomach. Booster seats have belt guides that help to ensure the belt is properly placed.

Booster seats can be bought with or without a rearrest. The most popular booster seat is the high-back, which provides neck and head support for children. It is a great option for cars with low seat backs, and no head rests. Backless boosters can be cheaper, however they don't offer head or neck support. Certain all-in-one boosters let you switch between boost and harness modes. They are suitable for children from to 65 pounds in harness mode and up to 100 pounds when used as boosters.

Some boosters have an anchor system for lower anchors (LATCH) that hooks to the lower anchors of the vehicle and a tether, in the event that it is available. Others require the vehicle seat belt to keep them in their place. You can check your vehicle's owner's manual to determine if you are able to use the lower anchors. Also, read the instructions for the booster seat to know how to use it.

Parents may be enticed to let their 3 year old 30 pounds child take a straight booster seat because they're growing too tall for the car seat. But rushing to "graduate" your child out of the harness is dangerous. Children could be injured or even killed if the belt is loose during the event of a crash.

Back seat

All children should have the child safety seat or booster seat correctly installed for as long as they're able. Children who are too big for a rear facing car seat, or who have exceeded the weight and height limits and should be switched to a forward-facing child restraint that has a harness until they reach the maximum height allowed for this type of seat.

When your baby car seat is no longer in the infant car seat, they can be moved to a convertible or an all-in-one car seat that has a rear-facing seat. These seats are usually good for two years, or until the child reaches the maximum weight and height of the seat. Install the car safety seat on the middle of your vehicle. It can be securely fastened with the lower anchor system and seat belt.

If your child is no longer in a rear-facing car seat, they can be placed in a front-facing child restraint equipped with a harness and tether. These seats are typically used until your child reaches the height of 57 inches or reaches the maximum weight and height guidelines for the seat. The manufacturer's instructions or a tag on the car seat will tell you the height and weight it can support.

All older children must be seated in a booster seat or a lap belt in the vehicle, if possible. If not, they should use a back seat restraint that is located in the middle of the back seat. It is also recommended to not sit in front if the airbag is activated. Children who are in the front seat are more likely to be injured in collisions because their bodies are smaller.

It's a good idea take your child to a local car seat clinic or inspection station for assistance in deciding on and installing the right child safety seat. They can also find out if your car seat has been recalled for problems or safety concerns. You can then purchase one that is compatible with your car and the child's height. If you can't try out the seat, find out if the seat has a refund policy.
