NEVER place this child
restraint rear-facing in a
vehicle seating location
that has an active front
air bag.
• Harness straps need to be
even with or
just below
the top of child’s shoulders
and chest clip is at
armpit level
.
Children are safer riding rear-facing and
should ride rear-facing as long as possible,
until they reach the maximum rear-facing
height or weight rating for their car seat.
Then children should ride forward-facing,
using the built-in harness system for as long
as possible until they reach the maximum
forward-facing weight or height for their
car seat. Be sure to check your local and
state laws, as well as AAP and NHTSA
recommendations, for car seat usage.
Note:
Preterm or low
birth weight infants may be
at special risk in a vehicle
or aircraft. According to the
AAP, these infants may suffer
breathing issues if improperly
reclined in a car seat. When
rear-facing, 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.
