Car Seat Safety: Protecting Your Child on the Road
According to the Highway Safety Code, children must be secured in a car seat until their seated height (from the seat to the top of the head) reaches 63 cm. It’s not their age, but their height, that determines when a car seat is no longer required.
All car seats sold in Canada must display a label confirming compliance with national safety standards. To ensure proper installation, always follow the manufacturer’s instructions before using a car seat for the first time.
