Q: What is the LATCH system?

To use the LATCH system, you will need to find the LATCH anchors in your vehicle. These anchors are located in the seat back, near the top of the seat. You will also need to find the LATCH connectors on your car seat. These connectors are located on the back of the car seat, near the top of the seat.
Once you have located the LATCH anchors and connectors, you can attach the car seat to the vehicle by snapping the connectors into the anchors.
For more detailed instructions, please refer to your vehicle owner’s manual.
Q: What is the difference between rear-facing and forward-facing car seats?
A: Rear-facing car seats are the safest option for children under 2 years old. This is because a rear-facing car seat puts a child’s head, neck, and spine in a position that is best protected in the event of a crash. Forward-facing car seats can be used for children who are 2 years old and older.
When choosing a car seat, it is important to make sure that it is installed correctly and that it is the right size for your child. For more information on car seat safety, please visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website.
Q: How do I know if my child is ready to transition to a forward-facing car seat?
A: Your child is ready to transition to a forward-facing car seat when they reach the following milestones:
- They are at least 2 years old.
- They weigh at least 20 pounds.
- Their head is at least 1 inch above the top of the car seat harness.
Once your child meets these milestones, you can transition them to a forward-facing car seat. It is important to make sure that the car seat is installed correctly and that it is the right size for your child. For more information on car seat safety, please visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website.
Q: What are the benefits of using a rear-facing car seat?
There are many benefits to using a rear-facing car seat, including:
- Rear-facing car seats are the safest option for children under 2 years old. This is because a rear-facing car seat puts a child’s head, neck, and spine in a position that is best protected in the event of a crash.
- Rear-facing car seats provide better protection in side-impact crashes. This is because a rear-facing car seat absorbs the impact of a side-impact crash, which can help to prevent serious injuries.
- Rear-facing car seats are more comfortable for children. This is because a rear-facing car seat supports a child’s head and neck better than a forward-facing car seat.
