There are three types of car seats available:
Infant Seats (Used specifically for infants up to 22 pounds or 26 inches long.)
Although there are many brands and features to choose from, all infant car seats have one thing in common: they are designed to support a developing infant's back, neck, and head. Infant car seats should be installed rear-facing (facing the vehicle's back window) in the center of the back seat. For added convenience, many models offer a stay-in-car base that allows both quick installation and gentle removal to prevent waking a sleeping baby. Newer infant car seats offer a safe, five-point harness restraint system (older styles may have only a three-point harness) that secures baby at the shoulders, hips, and crotch.
Convertible Seats (Used for newborns up to approximately 20 pounds, then for toddlers from 20 to 40 pounds.)
These seats are so named because they convert from a rear-facing infant seat to a forward-facing seat, allowing you to keep the same one until baby is well into toddler-hood or weighs 40 pounds.
Like infant seats, convertible car seats usually have a five-point restraint system consisting of straps--two at the shoulders, two at the hips, and one at the crotch. This allows parents to adjust the harness closer to baby's body and it's easy to buckle and unbuckle. This is the best choice if you're using the seat for a small baby, and it provides the best protection against head injury. Some convertible seats also offer an overhead shield--a padded bar that swings down over baby's head and buckles to the seat at the crotch.
Booster Seats
When your child has outgrown the convertible seat but is too small to use your car's safety belt system alone, it's time for a booster seat. Designed specifically to help standard vehicle seat belts fit children better, these specialized seats are appropriate for children who are 4 to 8 years old, weigh between 40 and 80 pounds, and are shorter than 4 feet 9.
Boosters reduce the potential for belt-induced injuries in small children and help transition them from a safety seat to an adult-size lap and shoulder belt. The types of boosters include:
