Atkinson is an English-language surname. The name is derived from a patronymic form of the Middle English Atkin.
Once children outgrow their booster seat (usually at 10 â 12 years old) they can use the adult lap/shoulder safety belt if it fits them properly. Lap portion low over the hips/tops of thighs and shoulder belt crosses the center of the shoulder and center of the chest.
When should I switch from a rear-facing to forward-facing car seat? Donât rush! To protect your child, keep them rear-facing for as long as possible, at least until age 2. The old â1 year and 20lbsâ milestone is no longer the recommended standard. Unfortunately, it takes time for state laws to catch up with best practice safety recommendations.
