Which weight range is correct for a toddler convertible seat?

• A. 0-20 pounds
• B. 40-80 pounds
• C. 20-40 pounds
• D. 60-100 pounds

Answer: (C)

A toddler convertible seat is designed for children who are transitioning from an infant seat but aren’t yet ready for a booster. The typical weight range for this stage is about 20 to 40 pounds. This means the seat is intended to be used when a child weighs within that range, often rear-facing first and then forward-facing as allowed by the specific seat. Once a child exceeds 40 pounds, you generally move to a booster.

The other ranges don’t fit this stage: 0-20 pounds is the infant-only range, and 40-80 or 60-100 pounds are associated with booster seats or higher‑weight forward-facing configurations rather than the toddler convertible stage. Always check the seat’s label and manual for the exact limits.
