Child car seat requirements vary by state, but generally, children must use a car seat until they reach a specific height or weight limit, typically around 40-65 pounds and 4'9" tall. Infants should be in a rear-facing car seat until they are at least one year old and weigh at least 20 pounds, while toddlers can transition to a forward-facing seat with a harness once they outgrow the rear-facing seat. Booster seats are usually recommended for children aged 4 to 8 years until they can properly use a seatbelt. Always check local regulations for precise requirements.
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.
This varies by state and is sometimes not dependent on the child's age, but on their height and weight.
