What are the guidelines for safe transportation of children?
Children should always be secured in a car seat, booster seat, or seat belt appropriate for their age, height, and weight. Infants and toddlers should ride in a rear-facing car seat until they reach the maximum height or weight limit allowed by the car seat manufacturer. Once they outgrow the rear-facing seat, they should transition to a forward-facing car seat with a harness. Older children should use a booster seat until the seat belt fits properly.
