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 con-

vertible 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 convertible 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.
