Safety Seats
* Babies should ride in rear-facing child seat in the back seat of a vehicle until they turn one and reach at least 20 pounds.
* Once children grow too big for a rear-facing seat, they should remain in the back seat, riding in a forward-facing seat until they turn four and reach at least 40 pounds.
* Children who weigh between 40 and 80 pounds and are between ages four and eight also should remain in the back seat, using a booster seat.
* If a child is eight or older, is taller than four feet nine inches and weighs at least 80 pounds, he or she can use a seat belt. Children should be able to sit all the way back with their knees bent at the edge of the seat. The lap belt should fit across the tops of their thighs, with the shoulder belt across the center of their shoulders and chest.
- A child should not ride in the front seat unless he or she is at least 12 years old.
