At Landmark Cadillac we recognize that many of our customers in Springfield have or will have young children that will travel with them in their vehicles. We take vehicle safety seriously for all passengers. This is why we included some basic tips on how to select the proper car seat for a young child.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, children 12 months and under should always be put in a rear-facing car seat. This provides the maximum protection for your child. The NHTSA also recommends that you keep your child in a rear-facing car seat for as long as possible. Convertible and all-in-one car seats will let you keep your child in a rear-facing position for a longer period of time as they grow.
One your child has outgrown a rear-facing position, it is time to put them into a forward-facing car seat or booster seat. Children should be in a forward-facing car seat or booster seat until they are tall enough to put on a regular seat belt.
