Safety
experts recom mend
that
child ren rid e
rearw ard -facing in the vehicle until they are at least
one year old and weigh at least 20 lbs (9 kg). Two typ es
of child restraints can be used rearw ard -facing: infant
carriers and “convertible” child seats.
WARN ING!
•
The infant carrier is only used rearw ard -facing in the
vehicle. It is recom mend ed for child ren who weigh up
to abou t 20 lbs (9 kg). “Convertible” child seats often
have a higher weight limit in the rearw ard -facing
direction than infant carriers do, so they can be used
rearw ard -facing by child ren who weigh more than 20
lbs (9 kg) but are less than one year old. Both typ es of
child restraints are held in the vehicle by the lap/
shou lder belt or the LATCH child restraint anchorage
system (Refer to LATCH — Child Seat Anchorage
System in this section.)

actly when installin g an infan t or child restrain t.
A rearw ard facin g infan t restrain t should only be
used in a rear seat. A rearw ard facin g infan t
restrain t in the fron t seat may be stru ck by a
deployin g passen ger airb ag which may cause se-
vere or fatal injury to the infan t.
