All infants must use a stage 1 car seat, which means rear facing infant car seats are required by law. Infant car seats, including newborn car seats and bucket car seats, are specifically designed to support a baby’s head, neck, and spine. Convertible and all‑in‑one car seats are also safe for newborns, but infant car seats are built to remain rear-facing and are often part of travel systems that allow the seat to detach from the base and connect easily to a stroller.
At what age do toddlers change car seats?
Once your toddler has outgrown the height or weight limits of their rear-facing seat and is at least two years old, they may transition out of rear facing infant car seats. At this stage, children move into forward-facing car seats with a five-point harness. Front facing infant car seats are not recommended, as infants and young toddlers should remain rear-facing as long as possible for maximum safety.
What age should a child be in a rear-facing car seat?
All newborns and infants must ride in rear facing infant car seats until they reach the maximum height and weight limits set by the manufacturer. Provincial laws and safety experts strongly recommend keeping children in rear-facing infant car seats beyond the minimum age requirements whenever possible.
Are there any additional safety features I should look for in a car seat?
When choosing from infant car seats or newborn car seats, look for side-impact protection, adjustable headrests, energy-absorbing foam, and a five-point harness. Clear installation indicators and secure latch systems also help ensure bucket car seats are properly installed.
How do I install a car seat properly?
Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for infant car seats carefully. Install the car seat using either the vehicle seatbelt or the UAS/LATCH system, never both and ensure the seat is tightly secured with minimal movement. Check that newborn car seats are set to the correct recline angle and have them inspected by a certified technician if available.
