WARNING!

Never place a rear-facing child restraint in front of

an air bag. A deploying passenger Advanced Front
Air Bag can cause death or serious injury to a child
12 years or younger, including a child in a rear-
facing child restraint.

Only use a rear-facing child restraint in a vehicle

with a rear seat.

Older Children And Child Restraints
Children who are two years old or who have outgrown their

rear-facing convertible child seat can ride forward-facing in

the vehicle. Forward-facing child seats and convertible child

seats used in the forward-facing direction are for children

who are over two years old or who have outgrown the

rear-facing weight or height limit of their rear-facing con-

vertible child seat. Children should remain in a forward-

facing child seat with a harness for as long as possible, up to

the highest weight or height allowed by the child seat.

All children whose weight or height is above the

forward-facing limit for the child seat should use a

belt-positioning booster seat until the vehicle’s seat belts

fit properly. If the child cannot sit with knees bent over

the vehicle’s seat cushion while the child’s back is against

the seatback, they should use a belt-positioning booster

seat. The child and belt-positioning booster seat are held

in the vehicle by the seat belt.

WARNING!

Improper installation can lead to failure of an

infant or child restraint. It could come loose in a
collision. The child could be badly injured or
killed. Follow the child restraint manufacturer’s
directions exactly when installing an infant or
child restraint.
