🌈 Before You Dive in, Remember, Here at Safe in the Seat:

We follow best practice guidelines – our tool is designed with this in mind.

We know that riding rear-facing is safest for our youngest passengers. A child should never forward-face before age two, and we encourage a goal of age four.

Boosters are for big kids and require maturity to ride safely. For most kids, this means they should not be riding in a booster until they are five or older.

🔎 Seek Specialized Help If:

• Your child has a medical/physical disability.
• Your vehicle was manufactured before 2002.
