🧒🏽 One Kiddo at a Time!

While you may be shopping for more than one car seat, go through this tool with one child in mind. You can work through the tool as many times as you'd like, so simply start over for the next child.

🚫 No Skipping Allowed!

This tool and its order were intentionally designed, and every question matters. With SITS TIPS throughout, we will guide you every step of the way.

🌈 Before You Dive in, Remember, Here at Safe in the Seat:

We follow best practice guidelines – our tool is designed with this in mind.

We know that riding rear-facing is safest for our youngest passengers. A child should never forward-face before age two, and we encourage a goal of age four.

Boosters are for big kids and require maturity to ride safely. For most kids, this means they should not be riding in a booster until they are five or older.

🔎 Seek Specialized Help If:

  • Your child has a medical/physical disability.
  • Your vehicle was manufactured before 2002.

Your child's size matters!

Are you shopping for a convertible car seat for your newborn?

SITS TIP! While all car seats state a weight limit range, it doesn't always mean the car seat will fit your small baby safely. Not to worry—we know which ones will! This is why we typically recommend starting with an infant seat.
