Choosing Rear or Forward Facing

Your child’s height, weight, and age determine how your child restraint should be placed in the vehicle.

Please talk to your doctor about the best option for your child.

See page 3 to

WARNING: Verify your child’s weight and height

(do not guess) before choosing the child restraint’s placement.

Children up to 1 year of age must ride rear facing. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends

that children remain rear facing until they are at least 2 years old.

In this child restraint, your child can remain rear facing up to 40 lb (18 kg) and up to 40 in. (101.6 cm).

This typically occurs around age 4, but some children outgrow them sooner and others not until later.
