Choosing Car Seat Mode
Measure your child’s weight and height
(do not guess) before choosing the car seat’s mode.
Your child’s height, weight, and age determine how the car seat should
be placed in the vehicle.
Children vary widely in body size, shape, and temperament—
please
consult your doctor before switching between any of these
modes within the limits and fi t requirements of the seat.
Provincial Laws
Please be certain to follow your province’s laws
regarding car seat use.
American Academy of Pediatrics Recommendations
Infants and Toddlers
Should ride in a rear-facing car seat as long as possible, until they
reach the highest weight or height allowed by their seat.
Toddlers and Preschoolers
Once they are facing forward, children should use a forward-facing car
seat with a harness for as long as possible, until they reach the height
and weight limits for their seats.
School-Aged Children
Once they have outgrown their forward-facing car seat, children should
use a belt-positioning booster seat until the vehicle’s lap and shoulder
seat belt fi ts properly. This is often when they have reached at least
4 feet 9 inches in height and are 8 to 12 years old.
Older Children
All children younger than 13 years should be restrained in the rear
seats of vehicles for optimal protection.
