 Use
child safety seats for kids up to 80 pounds and make sure they're buckled
in right!
Step 1 - Rear facing Child Seats for children from birth to at least 20 pounds and at least one year of age. Step 2 - Forward-Facing Child Seats for children over 20 pounds and at least one year old to about 40 pounds and about age four. Step 3 - Belt-Positioning Booster Seats for children from about 40 pounds to about 80 pounds and 4' 9". Step 4 - Seat Belts for older children large enough for the belt to fit correctly; at least 4' 9" tall and about 80 pounds. Did you know that at least four out of five children in safety seats are improperly restrained? Have your child safety seats inspected by a certified child passenger safety technician.
