🌈 Before You Dive in, Remember, Here at Safe in the Seat:
We follow best practice guidelines – our tool is designed with this in mind.
We know that riding rear-facing is safest for our youngest passengers. A child should never forward-face before age two, and we encourage a goal of age four.
Boosters are for big kids and require maturity to ride safely. For most kids, this means they should not be riding in a booster until they are five or older.
🔎 Seek Specialized Help If:
- Your child has a medical/physical disability.
- Your vehicle was manufactured before 2002.
