A 5-point car seat has the harness straps positioned in five areas of the seat, two behind the shoulders, two on each side of the waist, and one in the center or crotch area. A 3-point car seat has straps that are positioned in 3 areas, two behind the shoulders and one in the crotch area. Both 5-point and 3-point car seats must meet the same applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
