What is a Convertible Car Seat? A convertible car seat is a car seat that can be used with children of various sizes and can change from a rear-facing to a forward-facing seat. A convertible seat starts in a rear-facing position for babies and toddlers and is then turned forward-facing as your child gets older.

Infant car seats are generally smaller and more compact. They might be a great option for you if you’re going to make frequent trips with your baby and you need something portable. Infant car seats are also handy if you’re going to be moving the seat from car to car frequently.

Infants and toddlers should ride in a rear-facing car seat until they reach the weight limit or height limit of their specific model, whichever comes first. You should plan to keep the car seat rear-facing until at least age 2 and maybe even longer, depending on your baby’s growth.

When your child outgrows his or her infant seat, moving to a convertible seat will allow your child to stay seated rear-facing longer. It is okay if your child's legs touch the vehicle seat back.
