A child safety seat is required for a child:
• From birth to one year, or up to 21 pounds, the child is considered an
infant. A (convertible) safety seat for an infant must be secured facing
rearward. The top of the head must be below the top of the safety seat.
Secure safety seat harness straps at or below the shoulders. (See
Example 1).
• Children over 40 pounds (ages 4 to 8) unless over 4' 9" require a
booster seat. The booster seat places the child's waist and shoul-
ders at the proper height for the supplied safety belt to be effective.
The top of the head must be below the top of the safety seat. (See
Example 2).
CAUTION: Installation illustrations are for reference only, and
are not to be used as a guide. Refer to the safety seat manufacturer’s
guide.
WARNING: There are many styles of safety and booster seats,
refer to the manufacturer’s manual for proper installation and
how to properly secure the safety or booster seat.
CAUTION: Seat belts must only be used on permanently
mounted seats. Do not use a single seat belt on more than one
person.
NOTE: Individual states and Canadian provinces may have
laws that can exceed the requirements described above. It is
your obligation to know and comply with the laws in the state or
province in which you travel.
