Infant or convertible car seat first?
An infant seat gives the best newborn fit and the convenience of a clip-out carrier, but you'll replace it around age 1. A convertible seat saves money long-term but stays in the car. Many families register for both.
How long should my baby rear-face?
The AAP recommends rear-facing as long as possible — until your child reaches the top height or weight limit of their convertible seat, often age 2–4.
