Older Children And Child Restraints

Children who are two years old or who have outgrown

their rear-facing convertible child seat can ride forward-

facing in the vehicle. Forward-facing child seats and con-

vertible child seats used in the forward-facing direction are

for children who are over two years old or who have

outgrown the rear-facing weight or height limit of their

rear-facing convertible child seat. Children should remain

in a forward-facing child seat with a harness for as long as

possible, up to the highest weight or height allowed by the

child seat.
All children whose weight or height is above the forward-

facing limit for the child seat should use a belt-positioning

booster seat until the vehicle’s seat belts fit properly. If the

child cannot sit with knees bent over the vehicle’s seat

cushion while the child’s back is against the seatback, they

should use a belt-positioning booster seat. The child and

belt-positioning booster seat are held in the vehicle by the

seat belt.

WARNING!

Improper installation can lead to failure of an infant
or child restraint. It could come loose in a collision.
The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow
the child restraint manufacturer’s directions exactly
when installing an infant or child restraint.

After a child restraint is installed in the vehicle, do
not move the vehicle seat forward or rearward be-
cause it can loosen the child restraint attachments.
Remove the child restraint before adjusting the ve-
hicle seat position. When the vehicle seat has been
adjusted, reinstall the child restraint.

When your child restraint is not in use, secure it in
the vehicle with the seat belt or LATCH anchorages,
or remove it from the vehicle. Do not leave it loose in
the vehicle. In a sudden stop or accident, it could
strike the occupants or seatbacks and cause serious
personal injury.
