Choose the right seat for your child's age and size. There are different types of safety seats for infants, toddlers, and older children, so be sure to select one that is appropriate for your child's age and weight. Read the instructions. Each child safety seat comes with detailed instructions for installation, so be sure to read and follow them carefully.
Choose the right location for the seat. The safest place for a child safety seat is in the back seat, away from active airbags.
Secure the seat to the car.
