The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends limiting screen time for children to no more than 1-2 hours per day for children ages 2-5, and encouraging parents to prioritize healthy activities like physical play and face-to-face interactions. For older children and adolescents, they suggest setting consistent limits on screen time and ensuring that it does not interfere with sleep, physical activity, or other important aspects of life.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children should ride in a rear-facing car seat until at least age 2, and in a forward-facing car seat with a harness until they reach the height or weight limit. Children should then transition to a booster seat until they are big enough to use a seat belt properly, typically around age 8-12. It is important to always follow the manufacturer's guidelines for each specific car seat.
