Be sure to pay attention to the baby weight and size specifications and read and follow all installation instructions carefully.

Here is a brief summary of the typical infant car seats and baby car seats available:

Infant baby car seats are for babies up to 22 pounds and up to 26 inches and are designed for additional support of the back neck and head. These car seats are designed to face the back of the car and some models have a detachable base that stays in the car while the car seat itself can be removed.

Convertible baby car seats can be used for newborns as well as infants up to 40 pounds. These types of seats convert from rear facing to forward facing as the baby reaches the appropriate weight and size specifications.

Booster car Seats are for that final stage prior to your child using your car's standard saftey belts. This usually applies to children from 4 to 8 years of age and between 40 and 80 pounds.
