Height and Weight Limits Note: A child's feet CAN touch the vehicle seat back. This is okay and does NOT mean that the child is too tall for rear-facing. Weight LimitsInfant Carriers Most infant carriers go to 22 pounds or higher. Check your car seat's instruction manual or look at the information label on the side of the car seat to find out its weight limit. Convertible Car Seats Most convertible seats (those which can go both rear-facing and forward-facing) have rear-facing weight limits of 35 or 40 pounds, although some newer models go up to 45 or 50 pounds. Again, check your car seat's instruction manual or look at the information label on the side of the car seat to find out its weight limit. When buying a new car seat, make sure that the car seat's height limit makes sense with it's weight limit--for example, a car seat with a 45 lb weight limit should be tall enough to accomodate a 45 lb child rear-facing. |
