Car Seats by Age
Each car seat is specifically designed for a specific age group. It is recommended that children sit in their seats until they meet the manufacturer's height or weight limits, and then use a booster seat until vehicle belts are fitted properly, usually when they attain 4 feet 9 inches in height or age 10 to 12.
When you are searching for a new seat, consider features such as fabrics that are resistant to staining and pieces that are removable that can be washed in the machine. Hardware that is easy to clean is also taken into consideration.
Rear-facing
Rear-facing car seats hold babies and toddlers, protecting their delicate spines and necks in the event of a collision. They're also safer as they distribute the force of impact over an area larger than the surface which reduces the risk of injuries to the spinal cord.
Parents are often tempted by the thought of bringing their children to a forward-facing seat before they're ready. However the American Academy of Pediatrics advises that you keep them in rear-facing for as long as you can. This means that they should move to a forward-facing seat only after they've reached the height or weight limit of their current seat according to the specifications of the manufacturer.
The heads of children are huge in relation to their body and is still developing. This makes them more vulnerable to injury in a crash. In fact children's heads can generate up to 25 times the force of their weight in an accident -- enough to cause a deadly injury. This is why children of the ages of 5 and under are at the highest risk for fatal head trauma when they sit in a car seat with a front view.
Many parents believe that their children have stronger necks and are able to make the transition to a car seat facing forward faster. It is important to keep in mind that a child who is in the 95th percentile isn't any more powerful than a child who's 5th percentile, and no amount of push-ups performed by teens can change the fact that. In the case of a car accident the head of a bigger child is more likely to be hit with much more force, which can cause brain and spinal cord injuries.
If your child is outgrowing their car seat for infants, you can switch to convertible cars that let children to remain rear-facing until they reach their maximum weight or height limit. In general, children will be the first to reach their height limit and it's crucial to follow the car seat manufacturer's instructions on when to change to forward-facing mode.
When your child reaches the weight capacity of their convertible car seat or height limit, you'll have to transition them into the booster. Most booster seats come with an indicator for angles to let you know when the seat has been properly installed and is ready for flipping into forward-facing mode. You should only use a booster seat in the back of your vehicle and always with a lap belt (never a shoulder belt) to ensure the best car seats protection for your child in the event of a crash.
Forward-facing
Many parents are enticed to switch their kids' infant car seat travel seats around as they get older because it's more convenient. But they should remember, that rear-facing is an option that is safer for children.

Even if the child's neck muscles are strong enough, it is still possible for them to suffer whiplash. This is particularly applicable to children who are younger like infants.
A child facing the forward is more likely to land their head against the dashboard or in front of the window in the event of an accident. Depending on the nature of the crash and speed at which the car is moving the head could be pulled into the seat and break the skull or the spinal cord.
The current safety standards require that kids remain rear-facing until they attain 20 pounds and one year of age. The reason is that children younger than one year old do not have the neck strength to withstand a head-on collision, which is the most serious kind of car crash.
The use of a harness or tether while rear-facing helps to keep the child's head in a stable position and reduces stress on their necks. A rear-facing child will also be less prone to head injuries because the impact is cushioned by their seat.
If you have a child less than one year old in a convertible seat or an all in one that can be changed from facing forward to rear at any point, make sure you read the instructions provided by the manufacturer to determine when it's safe for them to face forward. The guidelines will tell you whether or not you should use a tether and the weight and height limitations for that particular seat.

Booster seat
There is no magic age or height at which children can safely stop using the booster seat. Kids should use it until the belt fits them correctly and that could take anywhere from age 8 to 13.
A booster raises the height of a child so that they can sit comfortably upright in cars. It also positions the shoulder part of the belt so it lies close to, but not over, the chest. The lap part of the belt should rest on the thighs, not over the stomach. Booster seats come with a built-in belt guide to help ensure the belt is properly positioned.
Booster seats are available with or without a rearrest. The most popular booster seat is the high-back type, which provides neck and head support for children. This is a good option for vehicles that have low backs and no headrests. Backless boosters are cheaper, but they don't provide head or neck support. Certain all-in-one boosters allow you to switch between booster and harness modes, which makes them suitable for children in harness mode up to about 65 pounds and then as a booster seat up to about 100 pounds.
Some boosters have lower anchors (LATCH) system that hooks onto the lower anchors of the vehicle and a tether if one is available. Others require the vehicle seat belt to secure them in place. You can check your vehicle's owner's manual to find out if you can use the lower anchors. Also, you should read the instructions for the booster seat to learn how to use it.
Some parents may be tempted to let their three-year-old 30 lbs child take a straight booster seat, as they're becoming too tall for a car seat. It's risky to "graduate" a child from the harness. If the belt is not secure enough, children can be seriously injured or even killed in a collision.
Back seat
Every child should use a child safety or booster seat correctly installed for as long as they are able to. Children who are too large for a rear-facing car seat, or have outgrown its weight and height limits should transition to a forward-facing child safety seat with an appropriate harness until they're tall for this type of seat.

If you have a vehicle with a middle seat install the car safety seat so it is secured to this spot using the lower anchor system or seat belt.
If your child has outgrown their rear-facing car seat it is possible to place them into a front-facing child restraint fitted with a harness and tether. These seats are typically used until your child is the height of 57 inches or exceeds the maximum weight and height guidelines for the seat.

Placing children in the front seat can increase their chances of getting injured in an accident because the impact forces are greater on their smaller bodies.
