Wondering when your child is ready to move up to their next #carseat stage? If so, always refer to your car seat's manual for height and weight guidelines. ❌ MYTH: Little ones are ready to face forward in the car when they hit their 2nd birthday. ✔️ FACT: Children are not ready to move to the next stage in their car seat journey (e.g., move from rear-facing to forward-facing) until they exceed the height or weight maximum for their seat. Age is not a good measure of your child's readiness for the next step because kids grow at different rates. 💡 Each transition is typically a downgrade in safety. So even if they're begging to turn forward or sit in a big kid booster, it's best to wait until they outgrow their current seat. 💡 For more information, visit our #linkinbio.
