Summary Of Recommendations For Restraining Children In Vehicles
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.

Child Size, Height, Weight Or Age
Recommended Type Of Child Restraint
Infants and ToddlersChildren who are two years old or younger and who have not
reached the height or weight limits of their child restraint Either an Infant Carrier or a Convertible Child Restraint, facing
rearward in a rear seat of the vehicle
Small Children Children who are at least two years old or who have outgrown
the height or weight limit of their rear-facing child restraint Forward-Facing Child Restraint with a five-point Harness, facing
forward in a rear seat of the vehicle
Larger Children Children who have outgrown their forward-facing child restraint,
but are too small to properly fit the vehicle’s seat belt Belt Positioning Booster Seat and the vehicle seat belt, seated
in a rear seat of the vehicle
Children Too Large for Child Restraints Children 12 years old or younger, who have outgrown the height
or weight limit of their booster seat Vehicle Seat Belt, seated in a rear seat of the vehicle
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.
 Never install a rear-facing child restraint in the front seat
of a vehicle. Only use a rear-facing child restraint in the
rear seat. If the vehicle does not have a rear seat, do not
transport a rear-facing child restraint in that vehicle.

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 convertible 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.
Children Too Large For Booster Seats
Children who are large enough to wear the shoulder
belt comfortably, and whose legs are long enough to bend
over the front of the seat when their back is against the
seatback, should use the seat belt in a rear seat. Use this
simple 5-step test to decide whether the child can use the
vehicle’s seat belt alone:

1. Can the child sit all the way back against the back of
the vehicle seat?

2. Do the child’s knees bend comfortably over the front of the vehicle seat while the child is still sitting all the
way back?
3. Does the shoulder belt cross the child’s shoulder between the neck and arm?
4. Is the lap part of the belt as low as possible, touching the child’s thighs and not the stomach?
5. Can the child stay seated like this for the whole trip?
If the answer to any of these questions was “no,” then the
child still needs to use a booster seat in this vehicle. If the
child is using the lap/shoulder belt, check seat belt fit
periodically and make sure the seat belt buckle is latched.
A child’s squirming or slouching can move the belt out of
position. If the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck,
move the child closer to the center of the vehicle, or use a
booster seat to position the seat belt on the child correctly.WARNING!
Do not install a rear-facing car seat using a rear support
leg in this vehicle. The floor of this vehicle is not
designed to manage the crash forces of this type of car
seat. In a crash, the support leg may not function as it
was designed by the car seat manufacturer, and your
child may be more severely injured as a result.
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
because it can loosen the child restraint attach-
ments. Remove the child restraint before adjusting
the vehicle 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.
