Toddler Car Seats
Baby is growing, so what do you get to keep them safe in the car after they have outgrown their rear-facing infant car seat?
Children that are one year of age and weigh at least 20 pounds are candidates for a forward-facing toddler car seat. A Toddler Car Seat is used when baby is too big for their infant car seat, but not quite big enough for a booster. Unlike infant seats, toddler car seats are not compatible with strollers and they are meant to be installed and kept in the car. There are a couple options of how to go about purchasing a car seat for your toddler. You can look into purchasing a convertible car seat, a combination seat or a standard toddler car seat.

Toddler Car Seats
When looking for a forward-facing, toddler-only car seat, you’ll find that your options are more limited than they are with other styles, including convertible. Forward-facing toddler car seats ... will accommodate children from about 20 pounds to 50 pounds; however, the weight capacity will vary by brand and manufacturer. The Britax Regent, for example, has an 80 pound weight limit.
One of the nice perks associated with purchasing a toddler car seat is that most feature a 5-point harness. A 5-point safety harness is recommended for its superior safety. The Brtiax Regent Toddler Car Seat is an exceptional example of such safety. The Regent features a large roto-molded shell and tangle-free 5-point safety harness for superior safety that accommodates children up to 80 pounds.
Increasingly, the forward-facing toddler car seat is being designed as a combination seat. A combination seat allows for more versatility that a standard toddler car seat. The Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 Car Seat is perfect example of a versatile combination seat, and as such, it is probably the only front-facing car seat you would ever need to purchase. With the Graco Nautilus, your child can use the 5-point safety harness up to 65 pounds. After your child reaches this mark, the Nautilus can be converted into a highback booster and then a backless booster able to accommodate children up to 100 pounds.
RECARO is another brand that has added versatility to the standard toddler car seat. For instance, the RECARO Young Sport, features a 5-point safety integrated harness system for use with children from 20 to 40 pounds. Once your child has outgrown the integrated harness system, the RECARCO Young Sport can be converted into a booster that accommodates children up to 80 pounds.
Finding the perfect toddler seat is very much an individual preference. Many parents prefer toddler combination seats that have 5-point safety harness and can later be converted for use as a booster seat. It is best to keep your child in a 5-point harness system for as long as possible, so you should consider looking at toddler car seats that allow your child to be kept in a 5-point harness as long as possible.
