Choosing Rear or Forward Facing
Your child's height, weight, and age determine how your child
restraint should be placed in the vehicle.
Please talk to your doctor about the best option for your child.
REAR FACING
5-40 lb (2.3-18 kg)
19-40 in. (48-101.6 cm)
Children up to 1 year of age must ride rear facing.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends
that children remain rear facing until they are at least
2 years old.
In this child restraint, your child can remain rear facing
up to 40 lb (18 kg) and up to 40 in. (101.6 cm).
FORWARD FACING
22-65 lb (10.1-29 kg)
29-49 in. (73.6-125 cm)
At least 1 year old
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends
that children remain in a fi ve-point harness until they
outgrow their forward-facing harnessed child restraint.
This typically occurs around age 4, but some children
outgrow them sooner and others not until later.
WARNING: Verify your child's weight and height
(do not guess) before choosing the child restraint's
placement.
