Infant And Child Restraints

Safety experts recommend that children ride rear-facing in

the vehicle until they are two years old or until they reach

either the height or weight limit of their rear-facing child

restraint. Two types of child restraints can be used rear-

facing: infant carriers and convertible child seats.
The infant carrier is only used rear-facing in the vehicle. It

is recommended for children from birth until they reach

the weight or height limit of the infant carrier. Convertible

child seats can be used either rear-facing or forward-facing

in the vehicle. Convertible child seats often have a higher

weight limit in the rear-facing direction than infant carriers

do, so they can be used rear-facing by children who have

outgrown their infant carrier but are still less than at least

two years old. Children should remain rear-facing until

they reach the highest weight or height allowed by their

convertible child seat.

WARNING!

Never place a rear-facing child restraint in front of an
air bag. A deploying passenger front air bag can
cause death or serious injury to a child 12 years or
younger, including a child in a rear-facing child
restraint.

Only use a rear-facing child restraint in the rear seat
of a vehicle with a rear seat.
