Kids Car Seats Information
If you have children who ride in your car then it is essential that they each have kids car seats to ride in. We recommend that you still own a child car seat for each of your children even if you haven't got a car as you never know when you may need it. Kids car seats must be used by law to ensure children are safe whilst travelling at all times, so there is no excuse for them travelling without them. Without the correct child restraint for your child, they are not safe riding in your car.
Taking note of your child's weight and height is important for choosing which type of kids car seats they require. Once your child is either 135cm tall or 12 years old (depending on which is first) they no longer need to use kids car seats and can use the adult seat belt. The main types of kids car seats are; rear facing seats, convertible seats, forward facing seats, and booster seats.
When it comes to buying a suitable child car seat, you should know what weight and height your child is. If you do that then shopping for the car seat will be easier for you. It's a good idea to have a look through reviews for car seats so that you can see which ones are popular and highly recommended. Another thing you can do which could help is ask your family and friends if they know of any car seats they would recommend. You may find choosing a car seat much more simple if you get an experienced mum to help you out. If you are going to buy a car seat on the internet then have you friend come round to help you pick one out.
We feel that it is important you buy a brand new kids car seat and not a second hand one as you can never be completely sure of the history of the seat. Even if a person is telling you that the car seat they are selling second hand has never been in a crash, you still never know for sure how it was used etc. One that has saved a child in an accident before, might not be as effective in a second accident.
You will be spoilt for choice when it comes to buying your child a car seat as there are loads to choose from. The reason some kids car seats are more expensive is due to some 'added features' to generally add extra comfort or convenience. Added features could be extra padding or a more simple 'seat belt route'. So don't worry too much about which price range you choose. We recommend you go for a car seat made by a well known brand that you can trust.

Frequently Asked Questions...
My daughter is 8 years old should she still be in a booster seat?
she is 3'11 but is very skinny she only weights 47lb. she dose to long for a big kid car seat should i still keep her in a booster seat?
Answer:
As you can see with this website --> http://www.elitecarseats.com/custserv/custserv.jsp?pageName=car_seat_laws
Your daughter is on the cusp. You said she's 3'11", well that's 47 inches. She's 8, which is over the age most states require she ride in a booster seat. 47 pounds is also close to the weight requirement, which in most cases is about 60 lbs.
In the end, you may just have to play it by ear. You are the parent after all. If you want your daughter to be extra safe, have her tough it out for another year and hope she gains enough weight. If, on the other hand, you trust your driving and you make sure she uses the proper restraints in a normal car seat, no one will think your a bad mother if you ditch the booster. The choice is entirely yours, mom.
