Car/booster seat age/weight/height requirements

January 20, 2010 · Filed under Saving for Down Payment

Whenever I am unsure about what car seat to use, I refer back to this handy article from Parenting magazine’s June 2007 issue. It lists the minimum and maximum requirements for infant, convertible, combination and booster seats.

The #s are:

Infant seat (rear-facing only)
Minimum: Birth
Maximum: 20 months

Convertible seat (rear-facing)
Minimum: Birth
Maximum: At least 1 year & 30 lbs

Convertible seat (forward-facing)
Minimum: 1 year & 20-30 lbs
Maximum: 4 years & 40-65 lbs

Combination seat (forward-facing)
Minimum: 1 year & 20 lbs
Maximum: 4 years & 40-65 lbs

Booster seat
Minimum: 4 years & 40-65 lbs
Maximum: 8-12 years, 80-100 lbs & 4′9″ tall
