Infant Car Seat Q&A

Q: What’s the difference between an infant car seat and a convertible car seat?

A: Infant car seats are rear-facing only, ideal for newborns and infants, and easy to carry. Convertible car seats can adjust from rear to forward-facing as your child grows.

Q: Can I install my infant car seat without the base?

A: Many infant car seats allow installation without a base using the vehicle’s seatbelt—a helpful feature for quick trips or rideshares!

Q: How long can my baby use an infant car seat?

A: Most infant car seats accommodate babies up to 30–35 pounds or until they’re about 12–15 months old, depending on growth.

Q: When do infant car seats expire?

A: Typically, car seats have an expiration date ranging from 6 to 10 years after their manufacture. This lifespan accounts for factors such as general wear and tear, evolving safety standards, and potential recalls.
