The timing of transitioning to the next stage of car seat depends on the childâs growth:
1. Rear-Facing to Forward-Facing: Keep the child rear-facing until they exceed the maximum height or weight limit specified by the car seat manufacturer.
2. Forward-Facing to Booster Seat: Transition when the child outgrows the forward-facing car seatâs weight or height limit. Typically, children should be at least 4 years old.
3. Booster Seat to Seat Belt: Children should use a booster seat until they are big enough to fit in a seat belt properly, usually around 4â9â in height and between 8-12 years old.
