Young children should be kept in rear-facing safety seats until they reach at least 2 years old or until they reach the maximum weight and height for their specific seat. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommended that most kids must ride in a booster with belt-positioning seat until they reach 4’11” in height and in the middle of 8 to 12 years old.

Young children should be kept in rear-facing safety seats until they reach at least "2 years old".The suggestions say that youngsters should progress from a rear-facing seat to a front oriented seat with a tackle, until the point that they achieve the maximum weight or stature for that seat. Various investigations have indicated kids are more secure in rear-facing seats.
