Note:

Preterm or low birth

weight infants may be at

special risk in a vehicle or

aircraft. These infants may

suffer breathing issues if

improperly reclined in a

car seat. Use the corrected

age for preemies. Graco

advises that you have your

physician or hospital staff

evaluate your infant and

recommend the proper car

seat or car bed before you

and your infant leave the

hospital.

NEVER place this

child restraint

rear-facing in a

vehicle seating

location that has an active

front air bag.

*

Experts recommend that

children ride rear-facing

until the age of 2 or until

they reach the maximum

rear-facing height or weight

rating for their car seat.
