What direction should a child car seat face?
This would depend on the age of your child. All children should ride rear-facing in back seats until they are 2 years of age or until they reach the height and weight limit of their child restraints. When children reach the height and weight limits of their infant seats, they should be moved to convertible seats, but should continue to ride rear-facing for as long as possible. However, when your child reaches the rear-facing height and weight limit of their child restraint, they should be turned forward-facing in a convertible or another forward-facing child restraint.

What age do you face infant car seat forward?
well there are 2 things that your bby must reach first 1) your baby must be at least a year old. 2) your baby should be at least 20 lbs. Also make sure you child safety seat is neither too big or too small for your baby. We are worried about the safety of your beautiful child so ensure the seat is properly anchored. This is a bare minimum for turning around a reversible car seat (those that can be faced towards the rear or front, depending on the size/age of the child). INFANT car seats however (which often double as carriers and face the rear by default) come with clearly printed guidelines regarding infant weight and/or height not to be exceeded. Many babies exceed the height and/or weight limit long before they are one year of age. Both of my sons were too large for their infant car seat before they reached six months of age. It is plainly dangerous to continue to use this type of seat with a child who is too large for it. If such a seat is used and outgrown, the next stage and safest method is to graduate the child to a reversible car seat still in the rear facing position and to keep it anchored and facing the rear so long as your child does not exceed the rear facing height and/or weight limits for that model. Your child could be well over a year before approaching either. As well, be sure to keep all straps at an appropriate height and tension. This may vary by model, so always read the safety information that comes with your car seat. THEY NOW RECOMMEND THAT BABIES/TODDLERS REMAIN REAR FACING FOR AT LEAST 2 YEARS AND UP TO AGE 4.

What is a convertable car seat?
A convertible car seat is also known as a Stage 2 car seat. Convertible seats can face either rear or forward. They have five-point harness system. A child must be Rear Facing until the child can hold his or her head up and the neck and spine are strong (usually at around 12 months). Pediatricians recommend that children remain rear facing as long as possible or up to 35-lbs. In the Forward Facing position the child should be a minimum of 22 pounds. This style of seat can be used until the child is 40 pounds or around 4½ years old.
