shoulder height marker (approximately 4 years of age).

Infants are at risk of serious injury if they face forward too early.

Children are at risk of serious injury if they move to booster seats too early.

Children who have outgrown this restraint are safest in a larger child restraint

shoulder height marker of the restraint.

mm high. Check the measurement between the front of the seat back of the rear seat
