Is your little one turning two? Congratulations! It's a big milestone, and it might mean it's time to upgrade their car seat. While your child might outgrow their infant car seat, safety remains the top priority. So, what should you look for in a car seat for a 2-year-old?
Generally, at this age, you'll be looking at convertible or all-in-one car seats. Convertible seats can be used rear-facing and then forward-facing as your child grows. All-in-one seats often transition to booster seats later on.
Key considerations include: weight and height limits, ease of installation, safety ratings (check NHTSA!), and comfort features. Remember to always follow the car seat manufacturer's instructions and your vehicle's manual for proper installation. A correctly installed car seat is the safest car seat! Take your time to research and choose a seat that best fits your child, your car, and your budget. Happy (and safe) travels!
