How to Use the Car Seat Guide
Enter your child's age, weight and height, then press Show Seat. You get a reference seat type and direction.
Reading the result
Babies and toddlers should stay rear-facing as long as the seat allows.
Most children move to a forward-facing harness seat only after the rear-facing limit.
A booster raises the child so the adult belt fits correctly.
The seat's own height and weight limits, not age alone, decide when to change.

Check the seat is installed correctly every trip and that the harness is snug. A certified fitting check can catch mistakes that are easy to miss.
