Care4Kids | Answering crucial care seat questions

To ensure child safety during travel and at home, transition your child to a rear-facing convertible car seat when they outgrow their infant carrier. Keep them rear-facing until at least age 2 or until they reach the seat’s height and weight limits. Use a forward-facing car seat with a 5-point harness until your child outgrows it. Safe Kids Northeast Florida, led by Wolfson Children’s Hospital, offers certified technicians to assist by appointment with proper car seat installation. Always have an appropriate car seat at your destination and use a portable pack ‘n-play for safe sleep while traveling. Additionally, secure firearms and medications out of sight and reach to prevent accidents, especially when visiting or hosting others. These steps help protect children in various environments.
