WARNING
Measure your child’s weight and height
(do not guess) before using this booster
seat.
Your child’s height, weight, and age determine
how a car seat should be placed in the vehicle.
Children vary widely in body size, shape, and
temperament—please consult your doctor be-
fore switching between any types or modes
of a car seat within the limits and fit require-
ments of the seat.
State Laws
Please be certain to follow your state’s laws
regarding car seat use.
American Academy of Pediatrics
Recommendations
Infants and Toddlers
Should ride in a rear-facing car seat as long as
possible, until they reach the highest weight or
height allowed by their seat.
Toddlers and Preschoolers
Once they are facing-forward, children should
use a forward-facing car seat with a harness
for as long as possible, until they reach the
height and weight limits for their seats.
School-Aged Children
Once they have outgrown their forward-facing
car seat, children should use a belt-positioning
booster seat until the vehicle’s lap and shoulder
seat belt fits properly. This is often when they
have reached at least 4 feet 9 inches in height
and are 8 to 12 years old.
Older Children
All children younger than 13 years should
be restrained in the rear seats of vehicles for
optimal protection.

child restraints. This Isofix LATCH system can only be used in vehicles that have the LATCH anchor bars
installed and designated LATCH seating positions. This Isofix LATCH system cannot be used with raised
LATCH anchors in the vehicle seat back.
