It's generally recommended that babies ride in a rear-facing car seat until they reach the maximum weight or height limit for the seat, as determined by the manufacturer. This is because rear-facing car seats provide the best protection for young children in the event of a car accident. Once a child outgrows their rear-facing car seat, they can switch to a forward-facing car seat with a harness. However, the exact age at which a child is ready to face forward will depend on their size and development. It's important to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of your car seat and consult with your pediatrician to determine when it's safe for your baby to face forward in a car seat.
