All children whose weight or height exceeds the forward-facing limit for their car seat should use a belt-positioning booster seat until the vehicle seat belt fits properly, typically when they have reached 4 feet 9 inches in height and are 8 through 12 years of age.
Q&A: When can I use a forward-facing car seat? Since February 2007, the AAP suggests that children ride rear-facing until they reach at least 1 year of age and weigh at least 20 pounds. At that point, they can move to a face forward position. The AAP does add this caveat, however: âItâs best for [your child] to ride rear-facing as long as possible. Convertible seats and some infant-only seats have rear-facing weight limits of 30 to 35 pounds and height limits of at least 32 to 36 inches.
