What I''m looking for is what kids are supposed to be in by height/weight/age. JD called last night b/c someone who works for him was asking about car seat laws and I told him I''d look it up on the internet. I found like-10 different guidelines. Most of them said "ages 1-6 in appropriate car seat or safety seat"-that''s not really so much helpful, eh? Trapper''s been in his 5 point harness seat since before he was a year b/c he outgrew the infant seat. We kept it rear facing until..15 months or so. London is in a booster, and has been since she was..3 I believe. She''s 6 now. It''s the kind of booster that has the back on it w/the little wing things on the side of the head, and the back comes off so then it''s just like a little booster seat. I haven''t taken the back part off yet.
I''m trying to figure out how long Trapper needs to stay in his 5pt harness seat and when London can be out of her booster. I would probably keep them in the seats a little longer anyway, just as a precaution in case of an accident.
I know it varies by State, and I tried to specifically look up Iowa laws. I couldn''t find anything that was specific enough. Like, must be in 5pt harness until X age/weight/height, etc.
Anybody know a better place to look?
