• Please read this entire manual carefully before using
this car seat. Keep this manual in the pocket on the
car seat for easy reference.
• This child restraint system conforms to all applicable
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and
is certified for use in motor vehicles and aircraft.
• The rear-facing position is the safest position from
birth to 1 year old (6-30 lbs., 3 -14 kg). If your child
is less than 1 year old, DO NOT use this car seat
in the forward-facing position.
•The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends
that infants be restrained in a rear-facing car seat
until they are at least 1 year of age and 20 lbs. to
reduce the risk of cervical spine injury in the event
of a crash. Since an infant’s head size is very large
relative to body size and the neck is still developing
strength, a rear-facing car seat is safer because it
better supports an infant’s head and back in the
event of a frontal crash.
•
The forward-facing position is for children 1 year and
up that range in size from 22-40 lbs. (10 -18 kg) and
up to 40" (102 cm) tall.
• If your child weighs 22-40 lbs. but cannot sit
upright unassisted, please contact your physician
to determine how best to use a car seat.
• Complete the registration card attached to the car
seat and mail it in today!
