Car Seat Turn-Around
It is best for your child to ride in the rear facing car seat position for the highest weight and height allowed. Twenty pounds and one year old are the very minimum requirements before your turn your child around. If the child reaches 20 pounds at eight months, they must stay in the rear facing seat until they are one year old. The child must remain rear facing for at least one year.
We are anxious to turn the child’s seat around for many reasons, but it is best to keep the child rear facing for as long as possible. The American Academy of Pediatrics confirms that it is best to keep the child rear facing to the highest height and weight allowed by the manufacturer of the car seat.
