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-

facing direction than infant carriers do, so they can be

used rearward-facing by children who have outgrown

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

old. Children should remain rearward-facing until they

reach the highest weight or height allowed by their

convertible child seat. Both types of child restraints are

held in the vehicle by the lap/shoulder belt or the

LATCH child restraint anchor system. Refer to “Lower

Anchors and Tether for CHildren (LATCH)”.

WARNING!

Rearward-facing child seats must never be used in

the front seat of a vehicle with the front passenger air

bag unless the air bag is turned off. An air bag

deployment could cause severe injury or death to

infants in this position.

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 direc-

tion 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. These child seats are also held
