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.*
! Choose the correct mode of use for the car seat depending on
your child’s size. Infants less than 22 lb. (10 kg) MUST use this
car seat rear-facing.
! Select a suitable location for the car seat in your vehicle.
! Secure car seat with a vehicle seat belt or LATCH that is
properly routed as shown in this manual.
