Car Seat Safety

A few facts about the safest way you child can ride in a car.


  • Stage 1: Infants and young toddlers  should be in a rear facing car seat, in the back seat, until at least age 2. 
  • Stage 2:  Older toddlers and  young  children should be in a forward facing car seat, in the back seat.  Every car seat is different. Please check the label on the seat for the height and weight limits.
  • Stage 3:  Children should ride in a booster seat,  in the back seat.
  • Stage 4:  Children who outgrow their booster seats should ride in the back seat and wear a lap and shoulder belt.  All children under the age of 13 need to ride in the back seat and wear a lap and shoulder belt.
