A child should be restrained in a car seat from the moment you take your baby home from the hospital until she grows into
adult seat belts, typically around the age of 7 or 8. Every state requires that kids up to 4 years old ride in car seats;
most require booster seats for older children. At Consumer Reports, we have Ratings and recommendations for the series of car seats you'll need for your growing child. When you're shopping
for a car seat, make sure the car seat is compatible with your vehicle.
