HealthyChildren.org (American Academy of Pediatrics)
What it is
HealthyChildren.org is the American Academy of Pediatrics' website for parents. The legacy SafeMama resources page linked its Car Seats: Information for Families guide.
What it covers
Parent guidance across child health, safety and development. The car seat guide covers choosing and using rear-facing, forward-facing and booster seats, with a quick-reference chart and a link to the AAP's current car seat product list.
How to verify
Pages are published on healthychildren.org. The AAP's policy statements, at aap.org, are the underlying source.
How SafeMama uses it
Cited on car seat pages for which type of seat suits a child's age and size, and on other pages for AAP guidance written for parents.
Limitations / conflicts
General guidance. For car seats, the seat's own manual and a certified child passenger safety technician have the final word on a specific installation.
Verify it yourself
Don't take our word for it — check the source directly. Certifications lapse and data changes; the official database is always the current answer.
