! Children are safer riding rear-facing and should ride rear-facing as
long as possible, until they reach the maximum rear-facing height or
weight rating for their car seat. Then children should ride forward-
facing, using the built-in harness system for as long as possible until
they reach the maximum forward-facing weight or height for their car
seat. At that point, children should ride in a belt-positioning booster
seat. A booster is no longer needed once the vehicle seat belt fits
properly, typically when they reach 4 feet 9 inches (145 cm) tall and
are between ages 8-12. Be sure to check your local and state laws,
as well as AAP and NHTSA recommendations, for car seat usage.*
! Select a suitable location for the car seat in your vehicle.
! Secure car seat with a vehicle seat belt or lower anchor attachment
that is properly routed as shown in this manual.
