A forward-facing car seat is a type of child safety seat designed for children who have outgrown their rear-facing seats. It is typically used for children aged 2 years and older, depending on their weight and height. This seat is installed in a vehicle so that the child faces the front, providing better visibility and comfort for the child while traveling. These seats are equipped with a five-point harness system that secures the child safely in place. It is important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for installation and usage to ensure maximum safety. Many forward-facing car seats can also be converted into booster seats as the child grows.
