Baby Car Seat FAQ’s

Can my 18-month-old sit forward-facing?

Legally yes, safe practice dictates you should let your child sit rear-facing up until 2 years of age. Another good indicator of your child’s readiness to sit front-facing in the car is if your child can hold themselves us when sitting on the floor.

How do I choose a baby car seat?

Choosing a baby car seat should depend on the needs of your baby’s growth. This can change periodically from the newborn stage up until the child of 8 years old.
