You can tell that your youngster has grown past his present car seat when his shoulders are above the top slots or when his shoulders are higher thatn the back of the seat or when the weight limit is exceeded. Kids will generally grow out of 5 point harness in the front facing seat at ages 4 or 5.

It is time to go to a larger automobile seat or booster seat.

If you have got the Graco Nautilus 3 in 1 car seat this is just a matter of readjusting the seat and reconfiguring it for your kid. The Graco Nautilus grows with your youngster and is designed to last from ages 12 months to 10 years in age.

Be sure your kid always sits in an auto seat or booster seat and wears the right seat belt or harness every time he is in the vehicle ..If your youngster weighs more than 20 pounds he's sufficiently old for an everlasting auto seat to be installed in the automobile. Always use a forward facing car seat in a rear seat every time your youngster is in the automobile with you.

Choose the correct car seat and the correct harness or lap belt for your child’s height and weight.

Your youngster will have been measured and weighed regularly at their doctors visit and you can just jot down a note to maintain a record of this. The vehicle seat that you install shouldn't move when you install it, if you pull on the seat strongly it should not move more than an in. in any direction. You need to test the automobile seat each couple of months to see if it moves around.

Ensure that the harness straps are thru the car seat slots so they're at the same height of above the childs shoulders and check for slackness when the harness is fastened. All of the straps should stay horizontal and be taut not slack for optimum safety. The central clip that holds the harness straps should be at the toddler’s armpit height .
