2Accessory Use Booster Seat Requirements
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 tem-
perament—please consult your doctor before
switching between any types or modes of a car
seat within the limits and fit requirements 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
