Your baby may have already grown out of his or her infant car seat – or that milestone may be coming right up. If you don't yet have one, start researching convertible car seats, which are designed to grow with your child through the toddler years.
Note: Just because your child's moving to a bigger seat doesn't mean it's time to turn it forward-facing. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) says to keep car seats rear-facing until your child reaches the age of 2 or the seat's maximum rear-facing height and weight limits.
