The U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) governs the child safety seat requirements for children weighing up to 50 pounds. These include crash performance, durability, flammability, labeling, instructions, and other matters. Your car seat should say if it meets FMVSS 213 requirements, or at least indicate that it fully complies with federal car seat regulations.
However, keep in mind that some critics feel these standards for safety seats are outdated. So, you might want to comparison shop using consumer publications or reviews to see which car seat offers the most protection for your child.
Of course, you need to be familiar with the child car seat laws in your state, too. Otherwise, you're not only jeopardizing your child's well-being, but you could be breaking the law. These laws vary by state, so if you've recently moved to a state, check to make sure your still in compliance.
