What car safety seat should I use when I turn my child with achrondroplasia around?
Use a car safety seat with harness straps until your child outgrows it. A convertible car safety seat can be used forward facing until your child weights about 40 pounds or until your childs shoulders are above the top harness slots. A combination car safety seat will also allow your child to remain in a harness up to 40 pounds. Some convertible and combination seats have harnesses that fit children over 40 pounds. A combination seat can be changed to a belt-positioning booster seat when your child is too big for the harness. Because your child is small, she should be able to ride in a car safety seat with a harness longer.
