This is why children of the ages of 5 and under are at chance of suffering fatal head injuries when they ride in a front-facing car seat.

Many parents believe that their children have stronger necks and can make the transition to a car seat facing forward faster. It is important to keep in mind that a baby who is 95th percentile isn't stronger than a kid who is 5th percentile and that no amount of push-ups done by teens can change the fact that.

Most booster seats have a built-in angle indicator that informs you whether the seat is installed and is ready to switch to forward-facing mode. Use a booster only in the back of your car and always with a seat belt (never shoulder belts) to provide the best car seats protection for your child.

Whiplash can happen even when the neck muscles of the child are strong. This is especially applicable to children who are smaller such as infants who are less than one year old.

A forward-facing child is also more likely to land their head on the dashboard or in front of the window in the event of an accident. Depending on the type of crash and the speed at which the vehicle is traveling the head could be forced back against the seat and could fracture the skull or the spinal cord.

The current safety standards mandate that kids remain rear-facing until they attain 20 pounds and one year old age. The reason for this is that children younger than one year old do not have enough neck strength to withstand a head-on crash which is the most dangerous kind of car crash.

The harness and tether aid in keeping the child's head stable and reduce neck strain. A child who is rear-facing will also be less likely to suffer head injuries as the impact will be cushioned by their seat.

Seat booster

There is no age limit or height when children can safely stop using booster seats. The booster seat should be used until a child's vehicle belt fits properly. This can occur anywhere between 8 and 13 years old.

A booster raises the height of a child, so that they can sit upright in cars. The shoulder portion of a belt is also positioned so that it is close to the chest, but not above. The lap part of the belt should lie across the thighs and not over the stomach. Booster seats include a belt guide that helps to ensure the belt is placed correctly.

Booster seats can be bought with or without a rearrest. The most common type is a high-back booster, which offers neck and head support for children. This is a good option for vehicles with low backs and have no headrests. Backless boosters can be cheaper, but they do not provide neck or head support. Some all-in-one boosters permit users to switch between harness and booster modes, making them suitable for children who are in harness mode up to about 65 pounds, and later as a booster seat up to about 100 pounds.

Some boosters have a lower anchors system (LATCH) that hooks to the lower anchors on the vehicle and a tether if available. Some require the car seat belt to keep them in place. Check the owner's manual of your vehicle to determine if can use the lower anchors. Also, read the instructions for the booster seat to understand how to use it.

After your baby outgrows the infant car seat, they can be moved to a convertible, or an all-in-one car seat with a rear-facing seat. Most of the time, these seats can be used for up to 2 years or until your child reaches the seat's highest height and weight limit. If you have a car with a middle seat, install the car safety seat so it is securely secured in this position using the lower anchor system or seat belt.

If your child has grown out of their rear-facing seats, you can place them in a forward-facing restraint that has a harness. These seats are usually used until the child reaches 57 inches in height or exceeds the maximum weight and height requirements for the seat. The instructions from the manufacturer or a sticker on the car seat will tell you how tall and heavy it is able to support.

If possible the older children should use a booster seat or lap belt. If not, they should use the middle back seat restraint. In addition, they should not sit in the front seat if there's an air bag that is in use. Children who are in the front seat are more likely to be injured during collisions because their bodies are smaller.
