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.

When is it OK for a child under 8 years old and 4 feet 9 inches in height to ride in the front seat of a vehicle?
Weight and not size determines when they are able to ride in the front. One of the problems with front seats for a child is the front airbags. The airbags have hurt children because they are smaller and lighter in weight than an adult.
How old do you have to be to not ride in a car seat?
I assume you're talking about child seats- rather by age it is by height and weight. Infant and toddler need to remain rear-facing as long as possible about 30-35 lbs and one inch from shell. Toddlers then should be forward facing in a 5-pt harness to at least 40 lbs or their shoulders are above the top slots or ears are atop seat shell, then a child can move to a extended harness (safer) or to a booster to 4'9 from 80-100 lbs. But every person needs to be buckled the car.
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.
