Studies have shown that having your child in a rear-facing car seat is the safest option for them in the event of an accident. Moms are in tune to this, and we know that we need to keep them rear-facing for as long as possible. But when it comes to your child reaching the height or weight requirements for their car seat to be rear-facing, then we’re stuck with no choice but to turn their car seats forward-facing. With the help of our friends at this Houston Dodge dealership, I dug into all the information out there and found out which car seats actually have the highest rear-facing weight and height limits.
I should also say, the following car seat models are also great options if your child is particularly tall or in a higher percentile for weight.
