Actually, they go by height, weight, and age. In fact, age is a very common, important part of the equation.

You'll need to consult your state's child restraint laws to find out what applies where you live, as these rules vary by state. You can usually find this information on your state's primary driver's license or motor vehicle agency site. If not, contact your local DMV office or law enforcement department and ask.

It's important to know your state's child car seat laws, as you could be facing a ticket and a hefty fine if you're found guilty of not following the guidelines. Besides, you're endangering the safety of a child.

Also, be sure to only use car seats that meet federal safety requirements; this notification should be clearly stated on the car seat.
