Determining the direction you should face your child is one of the most important
decisions regarding the safety of a child in a car seat. Safety experts recommend
your child remain in the rear-facing position until he or she is at least 20 pounds
and
and and and and at least 1 year of age. The Sit’n’Stroll™ is certified for use by children up to
22 pounds in the rear-facing position and up to 40 pounds in the forward-facing
position. Consider both the weight and age guidelines when determining the
direction in which you should face your child while traveling in a vehicle. A child
under one year of age may not have the physiological development necessary to
sustain the forces involved in a sudden stop or collision while sitting in a forward-
facing position. Consult with y

♦
Always use the Sit’n’Stroll™ rear-facing if your baby weighs less than 20
pounds or is less than 1 year of age (and less than 22lbs), unless otherwise
directed by your child’s physician.
♦
When your child weighs at least 20 pounds, but less than 22 pounds, and the
top of his or her head is below the top of the stitch line, you can still use the
Sit’n’Stroll™ in the rear-facing position. However, you may use the
Sit’n’Stroll™ in the forward-facing position.
♦
If your child’s head is higher than the stitch line when he or she is sitting in the
Sit’n’Stroll™ or if your child weighs more than 22 pounds, you must use the
Sit’n’Stroll™ in the forward-facing postion.
If your child meets all of the above guidelines for the rear-facing
position, but his or her legs are too long, have him or her sit with his or
her legs crossed. Your child is generally safer remaining in the rear-
facing position for as long as the rear-facing guidelines are applicable.
