infant weighing less than 20 pounds (9 kg). The American
Academy of Pediatrics recommends rear facing until at least 1
year of age and 20 pounds.

maximum 40 pounds (18 kg).

your child. A snug strap should not allow any slack. It lies in a
relatively straight line without sagging. It does not press on the
child's flesh or push the child's body into an unnatural position.
• Secure the top anchorage strap provided with this child restraint.
• Secure this child restraint with the vehicle's child restraint
anchorage system if available or with a vehicle belt.
• Follow all instructions on this child restraint and in the written

• Based on crash statistics, the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration recommends that parents select the rear seat as
the safest location for a properly installed child restraint. Please
study the section on Vehicle Safety Belts in this booklet to
ensure the child's safety. If in doubt about installing the child
restraint, consult the vehicle owner's manual.
• Secure this child restraint even when it is not occupied. In a
crash, an unsecured child restraint may injure vehicle occupants.
• When using in vehicle with air bags, refer to the vehicle owner's
manual for child restraint installation instructions and
precautions.
• Never use the adjuster strap to lift or carry this child restraint. Doing
so could cause damage to the harness adjuster and webbing.
Always carry this child restraint by the shell or tether straps.
• The primary protection for occupants of a vehicle in a crash is
the structure of the vehicle; a child restraint will not protect a
child when the vehicle is seriously impacted. However, correctly
installed, a child restraint will substantially improve the chances
for survival in most crashes. Make sure that all users fully
understand the correct ways to use this child restraint in a
vehicle.
