with or just above the top of child’s
shoulders and chest clip is at armpit
level.
• 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. Be sure to
check your local and state laws, as well
as AAP and NHTSA recommendations,
for car seat usage.
