lower shoulder height marker (approximately 12 months of age) or reach the middle height
marker (approx 2 to 3 years of age).
TYPE B
Then to be used in a forward-facing position until the child’s shoulders reach the upper
shoulder height marker (approximately 4 years of age).
Continue to use this child restraint until the child reaches this limit.
Do not use forward-facing until child’s shoulders are above the lower shoulder height marker.
Infants are at risk of serious injury if they face forward too early.

harness or a booster seat until their shoulders reach the upper shoulder height marker of the
restraint.

• For a vehicle without a xed parcel shelf an extension strap(s) may be needed.
If so ring (02) 4728 8090 for nearest supply location (refer to Page 45).

enough to secure the child restraint. If seatbelts are too short then advice should be
sought from a child restraint tter and their recommendation be considered before
using a seatbelt extender.
