What Are the Height and Weight Requirements of a Forward-Facing Car Seat?
Once children reach the highest weight or height allowed by a rear-facing car safety seat, you can then shift to a forward-facing seat. Once they are facing forward, children should use a car safety seat with a harness for as long as possible — until they reach the height and weight limits for those seats — and the top tether should be attached for all forward-facing installations. Many convertible seats can accommodate children up to 65 pounds or more.
