From NHTSA

From NHTSA: "Your child under age 1 should always ride in a rear-facing car seat." Stay rear-facing "until he or she reaches the top height or weight limit allowed by your car seat's manufacturer." (NHTSA) Find a certified Child Passenger Safety Technician through NHTSA. Check the label and the maker's instructions, and ask your pediatrician about your child.

Questions about car seats with a load leg

Answers come from each maker's published specs. Safety and health questions link to the agency or medical source.

Are expensive car seats worth it?

Every car seat sold in the US must meet the same federal crash standard (FMVSS 213); price buys features and materials. Among the 22 with a list price, 71% of the priciest third have an anti-rebound bar, versus 57% of the cheapest third; 14% of the priciest third have rotation, versus 0% of the cheapest third. The cheapest third lists under $410.

What's the cheapest car seat that rear-faces to 50 lb?

The Cybex Sirona S at $549.95 list, rear-facing to 50 lb. 4 seats here reach 50 lb or more. See extended rear-facing seats.

Which car seats are made without added flame retardants?

19 of the 31 we track say so, per each maker. The lowest list price is the Maxi-Cosi Mico Pro+ at $319.99. They still meet the federal flammability standard for vehicle interiors (FMVSS 302).

How long do car seats last before they expire?

Between 6 and 10 years from the manufacture date, for the 20 that publish one. The longest is the Cybex Sirona S at 10 years. The date of manufacture is on the seat's label; try the expiration calculator.

Do I need a new car seat after an accident?

After a crash, follow your seat's manual and NHTSA's guidance. Check the label and the maker's instructions, and ask your pediatrician about your child.
