Conclusions
Delaying the transition to a forward-facing car seat beyond 1 year of age and until at least 2 years of age or the child reaches the rear-facing weight or height limit of the car seat continues to represent an opportunity to improve passenger safety in the United States. As common sources of information, clinicians and authoritative national recommendations from professional organizations can be influential in a parent's decision to turn a child's car seat to face forward. Discussions about delaying the transition to face forward in the car should begin in the first year of life. Clinicians must be prepared to help parents resolve potentially conflicting information from a variety of information sources
