Rear-Facing child restraint A rear-facing child restraint provides
restraint with the seating surface
against the back of the child. The
harness system holds the child in
place, and in an accident, acts to
keep the child positioned in the
restraint and reduce the stress to the
fragile neck and spinal cord.
All children under age one must
always ride in a rear-facing child
restraint. There are different types of
rear-facing child restraints: infant-
only seats can only be used rear-fac-
ing. Convertible and 3-in-1 child
restraints typically have higher height
and weight limits for the rear-facing
position, al-lowing you to keep your
child rear-facing for a longer period
of time.
Keep using restraints in the rear-fac-
ing position as long as children fit
within the height and weight limits
allowed by the child restraint's manu-
facturer. It's the best way to keep
them safe. Once your child has out-
grown the rear-facing child restraint,
your child is ready for a forward-fac-
ing child restraint with a harness. Forward-Facing child restraints
A forward-facing child restraint pro-
vides restraint for the child's body with
a harness. Keep children in a forward-
facing child restraint with a harness
until they reach the top height or
weight limit allowed by your child
restraint's manufacturer.
Once your child outgrows the forward-
facing child restraint, your child is
ready for a booster seat.
WARNING
NEVER install a child or infant
restraint in the front passen-
ger's seat. Placing a rear-facing
child restraint in the front seat
can result in SERIOUS INJURY
or DEATH if the child restraint is
struck by an inflating air bag.
