There are several types of car seats designed to protect children at different stages of their development:
- Infant Car Seats: These are rear-facing seats suitable for newborns and infants up to around 2 years old, or until they reach the maximum weight or height limit of the seat. - Convertible Car Seats: These can be used in both rear-facing and forward-facing positions, making them suitable for children from birth up to around 4 years old. - Booster Seats: These are for older children who have outgrown their forward-facing car seat. They help position the vehicle's seat belt correctly across the child's body.
