For toddler use up to approx 4 years

which point you must move to the 
next car seat.

For newborn use up to approx 12

• Continue to use this child restraint until the child reaches this limit. 

• Do not use forward facing until child’s shoulders are above the lower 

shoulder height marker. 

• Infants are at risk of serious injury if they face forward too early. 

• Children are at risk of serious injury if they move to booster seats too early.

 

• Children who have outgrown this restraint are safest in a larger child 

restraint with an in-built harness or a booster seat until their shoulders 
reach the upper shoulder height marker of the restraint. 

• The child restraint is unsuitable for the occupant when the shoulders are 

below the lower marker or above the upper marker. The child needs to be 
moved into the next form of child restraint (booster seat) when they reach 
the top shoulder height marker.

NOTE : 
• 

If the baby’s neck muscles are unable to support their head, then 
the child should remain rear facing.
