Infants And Child Restraints
Safety experts recommend that children ride rearward-

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 safety seat. Two types of child restraints can be used

rearward-facing: infant carriers and convertible child seats.
The infant carrier is only used rearward-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 rearward-

facing or forward-facing in the vehicle. Convertible child

seats often have a higher weight limit in the rearward-

their infant carrier but are still less than at least two years

reach the highest weight or height allowed by their

convertible child seat.

WARNING!

Never place a rear facing infant seat in front of an

air bag. A deploying Passenger Advanced Front Air
Bag can cause death or serious injury to a child 12
years or younger, including a child in a rearward
facing infant seat.

Only use a rearward-facing child restraint in a

vehicle with a rear seat.

Older Children And Child Restraints

facing in the vehicle. Forward-facing child seats and

have outgrown the rear-facing weight or height limit of

their rear-facing convertible child seat. Children should
