Rearward-facing Child Restraint
System
ODEEV058035NR
A rearward-facing Child Restraint
System provides restraint with the
seating surface against the back of
the child. The harness system holds
the child in place, and in an accident,
acts to keep the child positioned in
the Child Restraint Systems and
reduce the stress to the fragile neck
and spinal cord.
All children under the age of one
year must always ride in a rear-
ward-facing Child Restraint System.
There are different types of rear-
ward-facing Child Restraint Sys-
tems: infant-only Child Restraint
Systems can only be used rear-
ward-facing. Convertible and 3-in-1
Child Restraint Systems typically
have higher height and weight limits
for the rearward-facing position,
allowing you to keep your child rear-
ward-facing for a longer period of
time.
Child restraint system (CRS)
Keep using Child Restraint Systems
in the rearward-facing position as
long as children fit within the height
and weight limits allowed by the
Child Restraint System's manufac-
turer.
Forward-facing Child Restraint
System
ODEEV058036NR
A forward-facing Child Restraint
System provides restraint for the
child's body with a harness. Keep
children in a forward-facing Child
Restraint System with a harness
until they reach the top height or
weight limit allowed by your Child
Restraint System's manufacturer.
Once your child outgrows the for-
ward-facing Child Restraint System,
your child is ready for a booster
seat.
