Toddler Car Seats

Car Seats For Toddlers

Toddlers need different car seats than infants or children. They no longer need to be rear facing, and are far from being able to correctly wear a regular seat belt. There are two main types of toddler car seats, convertible, and booster.

A convertible car seat starts out as an infant seat, rear facing. When the child gets older, these seats turn around and become great toddler car seats. They still use a harness to secure the child. These toddler car seats usually hold children up to forty pounds.

Child car seats are a great option too. They are designed for toddlers and younger children. Child car seats have harnesses, so they are perfect toddler car seats because they can be used on all sizes of toddlers. For older toddlers and children, these toddler car seats act as a booster and provide height, and sometimes guides, for positioning a seat belt safely across a child. Regular booster seats are not suitable as toddler car seats as they don’t have the support and harness needed by toddlers and young children.

Sometimes, the extras that come on toddler car seats are a consideration when choosing a seat. They come in many styles, colors, prints, and materials to fit your wants and needs. Some toddler car seats also have things like cup holders and pockets on the sides for a child to put their things.
