National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Changed Child's Seat Guidelines



New guidelines have been released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to help parents decide on the best child safety seat and the best uses for that seat.

According to these new guidelines, children under the age of two should stay in rear-facing child seats unless they have reached the height and weight limits advised by the seats manufacturer. Also, NHTSA says it is important children always ride in the back, and, if the backseats are unavailable, front seat passenger air bags should be turned off when car seats are in front of them.

After a child reaches the age of two, the NHTSA recommends keeping them in a child or booster seat appropriate for their weight and height until they properly fit in an adult seatbelt. Also, the NHTSA recommends children in the backseat at all times until they reach their teen years.
