During Child Passenger Safety Week, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is reminding parents about an easy-to-use Car Seat Finder tool available to help compare seats and ease-of-use ratings to find the right car seat for your child. Just fill out the child’s age, height and weight, and you’ll be provided car seat types that fit your child. Learn more at tinyurl.com/mryvkj6j
