Tips for Selecting the Best Car/Safety Seat for Your Child

Car accidents kill thousands of children in the United State and Canada every year. Safety restraints and car seats can save lives if installed and used properly.

There are four main types of car seats; rear-facing infant car seat, a convertible car seat (rear and/or forward facing), combination booster seat (forward facing) and a booster seat (forward facing only).
