CHILD REQUIREMENTS

Warning: Failure to follow these Child Requirements could
result in serious injury or death.
This child restraint is designed for use by children in both
rear-facing and forward-facing orientations. To use this
child restraint properly, children
age requirements below. In addition, Evenflo recommends
consulting with your child's physician before allowing your
child to transition from rear-facing to forward-facing
use of this child restraint.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends
keeping children rear-facing until they reach the
maximum height or weight for their child restraint in
rear-facing orientation. Additionally, some states'
laws require children to be rear-facing until age 2.
Accordingly, you will see this guidance reflected in the Child

state or provincial laws related to child passenger safety
before installing and using this child restraint.
