When transporting infants or small children in your vehicle, an
appropriate child restraint system must always be used. This is
required by law in the U.S. and Canada.
Child restraints specifically designed for infants and small chil-
dren are offered by several manufacturers. Choose only a child
restraint system with a label certifying that it complies with
N00408900070
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 (FMVSS 213) or
Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and Booster Cushions Safety
Regulations (RSSR). Look for the manufacturer's statement of
compliance on the box and child restraint itself.
The child restraint system should be appropriate for your
child's weight and height, and should properly fit your vehi-
cle's seat.
For detail information, refer to the instruction manual accom-
panying the child restraint system.
Guidelines for child restraint system selection
All children should be properly restrained in a restraint device
that offers the maximum protection for their size and age.
Be sure to check local, state, or provincial requirements for
child size and age that may vary from the recommendations
listed below.
Children less than 1 year old and children less than 20
pounds (9 kg) MUST ride in a rear-facing child safety seat
that MUST ONLY be used in the rear seat.
Children older than 1 year of age and who weigh less than
40 pounds (18 kg) or who are less than 40 inches (100 cm)
tall must be in a forward-facing restraint used only in the
rear seat.
