weight rating for their seat, and when forward-facing, children should use the built-
in harness system for as long as possible until they reach the maximum forward-
facing weight or height for their car seat. After reaching the maximum forward-
facing weight or height, they also recommend that children 4 feet 9 inches (145 cm)
tall or under should ride in a belt-positioning booster seat.
