The type of seat your child needs depends on several things, including your child’s age and size and the type of vehicle you have.

The following is a list of car safety seats (manufacturer names are bold-faced. Weight is in pounds [lb] and height is in inches [“]). See “Car Safety Seats 2017 Guide” for information about choosing the most appropriate car safety seat for your child.

All products listed meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 as of the date of publication. There may be car safety seats available that are not listed in this publication. Prices are approximate and may vary. The following information is current as of the date of publication. Before buying a car safety seat, check the manufacturer’s instructions for important safety information about proper fitting and use.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has put together the car safety seat Ease of Use Ratings to educate parents and caregivers about car safety seat features and to assist them in finding the appropriate seat for their needs. You can view this list at www.safercar.gov/parents/CarSeats/Car-Seat-Ratings-Ease-Of-Use.htm.

Although the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is not a testing or standard-setting organization, this publication sets forth the AAP recommendations based on the peer-reviewed literature available at the time of its publication and sets forth some of the factors that parents should consider before selecting and using a car safety seat.
