Subaru 2001 Legacy Owner's Manual page 67

The child restraint is designed for use only by children who weigh be-
tween 9.05 kg (20 lb.) and 18.09 kg (40 lb.), whose height is 110 cm
(44.3 in.) or less, who are capable of sitting upright alone and whose
shoulder height is below the shoulder belt slot.
The child should also be at least one year old. It is important to use a
rear-facing child restraint until the child is about a year old. A rear-facing
restraint gives the child's head, neck and body the support they would
need in a collision. See the "Child restraint systems" section in this
manual.
WARNING
Do not use the built-in child restraint for infants who require a
rear-facing child restraint. In an accident, serious crippling injury
or death could result if the built-in restraint is used for the infant.
If the child exceeds the maximum weight and height capacities of the
built-in child restraint (maximum weight of 18.09 kg (40 lb.) and maxi-
mum height of 110 cm (44.3 in.)), do not use the built-in child restraint.
The child should use either the vehicle's seatbelts or an approved after-
market booster seat, if necessary.
The built-in child restraint system conforms to Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard No. 213 and Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No.
213.4.
According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly re-
strained in the rear seating position than in the front seating position.
Children aged 12 and under should not sit in the front seat of a car
equipped with a passenger's SRS airbag.
WARNING
D Make sure the child is securely restrained with the built-in
child restraint.
D Failure to follow the manufacturer's instructions on the use of
this child restraint system can result in your child striking the ve-
hicle's interior during a sudden stop or crash.
