Safety Standards For Car Seats




safety standards for car seats
10 month old in a front facing Car Seat?

My son is 10 months old and he weighs about 23 lbs. We have a Convertible Car seat in our car, which he faces the back in. My mom (who sometimes picks him up from daycare) is still using our old infant car seat, which is basically too small for him. So my question is, could I just get a forward facing car seat for her car, even though he is not a year old yet. According to the safety standards he should be a year old and 20 lbs. My question is because the convertible car seats are a little more expensive than just getting a normal front facing. She doesn’t really have him in her car all that much, maybe once a week and I know that he probably isn’t very safe in the Infant Seat which he is grown out of. What do you think? We will probably leave him facing backwards in our car for a while (he’s ok with it)

I would talk to the doctor about it. Give them a call. You really shouldn’t but he is over 20 pounds so i don’t understand what age matters as long as they are big enough but I guess they see something wrong with it but maybe the doctor will be able to help you with what you should do for your sons safety.
