About extended rear-facing car seats

These convertible and all-in-one seats are rated for rear-facing to 50 lb or more. The AAP says to keep children rear-facing until they reach their seat's rear-facing limit, so a higher limit means more time rear-facing. Check the height limit and leg room too.

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 extended rear-facing car seats

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 28 with a list price, 33% of the priciest third have a load leg, versus 0% of the cheapest third; 78% of the priciest third have an anti-rebound bar, versus 56% of the cheapest third; 22% of the priciest third have rotation, versus 0% of the cheapest third; 56% of the priciest third have no added flame retardants, versus 22% of the cheapest third. The cheapest third lists under $400.

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

The Graco Extend2Fit at $239.99 list, rear-facing to 50 lb. 28 seats here reach 50 lb or more. See extended rear-facing seats.

Can you skip the infant seat and use a convertible from birth?

Yes, if the seat's minimum fits your baby: 25 of the 29 convertible and all-in-one seats we track list a minimum of 5 lb or less. Check the maker's minimum weight and height, the newborn insert and the harness height in the manual. Check the label and the maker's instructions, and ask your pediatrician about your child.

Which car seats are made without added flame retardants?

14 of the 32 we track say so, per each maker. The lowest list price is the Britax Poplar at $349.99. They still meet the federal flammability standard for vehicle interiors (FMVSS 302).

How long do car seats last before they expire?

Between 8 and 12 years from the manufacture date, for the 28 that publish one. The longest is the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio All in One at 12 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.
