American Academy of Pediatrics revises recommendations on child seats
Mar 21, 2011 12:47 PM

BoosterSeat_wborder The American Academy of Pediatrics today formally revised its recommendations for child seat use. New advice includes keeping smaller kids rear facing until the age of two and for older kids to use booster seats until they reach a height of 4'9" (57"). AAP's recommendations align closely with our own and those of other child-safety advocates, and give parents a more consistent message about when to switch to the next level of child safety. Previously the AAP had recommended that small children not transition to forward-facing seats until they were a minimum of 20 lbs. and 1 year old. Read the full story on our Babies and Kids Blog.
