• Rear-facing up to height and weight limit of the seat (usually around age 2 – 3)
• Then forward-facing up to harness weight limit (40 – 80 pounds)

Pros

Purchase a seat with a high weight and height limit and your child can ride in a 5 point harness, the safest seat, for the longest time

Cons

Must buy a belt positioning booster when child outgrows harness if the child is under 8 years old or under 4′ 9″ tall
