What does ASFC mean in EDUCATIONAL

Guidelines vary by state, but it is generally recommended that all infants and toddlers ride in a rear-facing car seat until they are at least 2 years old or until they reach the upper weight limit of their seat.

Children typically move into a booster seat once they have outgrown their forward-facing car seat. Generally, this occurs when your child reaches at least 40 lbs (18 kg), which is usually around 4-5 years old but can vary depending on the size of your child.

The LATCH system (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) was developed to make it easier for people to properly install car seats without having to use vehicle safety belts. LATCH is generally considered to be the safest and most secure method of installation; however, some vehicles may not have compatible anchors so you may need to use the vehicle's safety belt instead.

For any type of convertible/all-in-one car seat, make sure you read the instructions carefully before installation and make sure you have locked all appropriate buckles and straps before placing your child in it. Additionally, make sure you check with your state guidelines regarding height/weight limits for rear-facing versus forward-facing installations as these can vary depending on state laws.
