SEAT TRANSITION PLANNER — WHAT COMES NEXT, AND WHEN
Plan Your Toddler’s Car Seat Transition — Know When and Why
Rear-facing to forward-facing, harness to booster — each transition has a legal threshold and a safety case. Know both before you act.
Enter your toddler’s current age, weight, and height. The planner maps out the full transition timeline against NHTSA FMVSS 213 and your state’s specific requirements.
Each premature transition reduces crash protection. NHTSA and AAP both recommend pushing transitions as late as possible within the seat’s rated limits.
