The NHTSA now recommends that children stay in appropriate car seats through 8 years, 80 pounds, or up to 4′9″. Many states have amended their laws to follow these guidelines.

Infant Seat/Carriers are designed for Newborn babies through 20 or 22 pounds. Convertible car seats let you use the same seat from the day your baby is born through forty pounds. They will have both a rear-facing and forward-facing weight limit. The rear-facing limit may be as high as 30-35 pounds.
