Measure your child’s weight and

determine how the car seat should be
placed in the vehicle.
Children vary widely in body size, shape,
and temperament—please consult
your doctor before switching between
any of these modes 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.

LATCH: Lower Anchor Use
Your vehicle’s features may be considerably different
than those pictured here.
The lower anchors of LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) is a universal
system for installing car seats without using vehicle seat belts.
The LATCH: lower anchor belt can only be used in vehicles that have the lower an-
chor bars installed in designated seating positions. Most vehicles manufactured after
September 2002 are equipped with LATCH: lower anchor bars.
Check your vehicle owner’s manual to see which seating positions may be equipped
with LATCH: lower anchor bars.
