All children whose weight or height exceeds the forward-facing limit for their car seat should use a belt-positioning booster seat until the vehicle seat belt fits properly, typically when they have reached 4 feet 9 inches in height and are 8 through 12 years of age.

But a new report shows many parents turn their childâs seat to face forward before then. In May 2011, the C.S. Mott Childrenâs Hospital National Poll on Childrenâs Health asked parents of children 7 to 48 months old about their use of rear-facing car seats. The study found 73 percent of parents put their child in a forward-facing seat before age 2; 30 percennt turned their childâs seat to face forward before age 1.
