NURSE AMY’S TIP OF THE WEEK: Be smart about car seats! Children should ride rear-facing until at least two years of age and 30 pounds, or longer if the car seat allows. Children can ride forward-facing with a harness until at least four years of age and 40 pounds, or longer if the car seat allows. Children who are at least four years of age and 40 pounds can ride in a booster seat. Use the booster seat until the seat belt fits correctly and until the child is 4’9”. All children under 13 years old should ride in the back seat. Always buckle up to stay safe and set a good example..
