Youth & Toddler Car Seats
- Can be used forward-facing, only.
- Minimum weight requirement of 20 lbs.
- Maximum weight limits of 40 - 80 lbs.*
- Semi-permanent install, no removable base, once installed properly and securely it should be uninstalled rarely to adjust shoulder harness heights or to remove the 5-point harness for use as a Belt Positioning Booster on some models.
- Not compatible with strollers
- Depending on the seat, your child may be able to use this seat for up to at least the age of 8. For many children, a Youth/Toddler seat will be the last car seat they will be in. Or you could choose to skip the use of a Youth/Toddler seat and go straight from a Convertible seat to a Booster seat.
*The great thing about some Youth/Toddler seats we carry is the extended 5-point harness weight capacities - some up to 80 lbs! Keeping your child in a 5-point harness as long as possible is always the safest option.
Be careful when researching Youth/Toddler Seat options. Some Youth/Toddler seats we carry are also known as Combination Car Seats. These seats have a 5-point harness for use normally only up to 40 lbs. and then can be used as a Belt-Positioning-Booster seat with the 5-point harness removed. These seats will show a higher weight capacity than can be used with the 5-point harness because they are taking into account the Booster seat weight capacity, which is normally around 80 lbs.
For your convenience, we have listed separately the Maximum Weight Capacity and Maximum Harness Weight Capacity in the 'Specs' area so you know exactly what you're getting.
