Frequently asked questions about Car Seats & Accessories

How often should I replace a car seat?
Replace a car seat after any moderate or severe crash, when it reaches its expiry date (typically 6-10 years from manufacture), or when the child exceeds the height or weight limit. Never use a seat with unknown crash history.
At what age can a child move to a forward-facing car seat?
The AAP recommends keeping children rear-facing as long as possible — until they reach the maximum height or weight allowed by their car seat, which is usually around age 2-4. Transitioning too early reduces protection in frontal crashes.
What is a CPST and why does it matter?
A Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician (CPST) is trained to assess car seat installation and fit. Studies show up to 59% of car seats are misused. Having your seat checked by a CPST significantly reduces installation errors.
