WARNING!

In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny

baby, can become a missile inside the vehicle. The

force required to hold even an infant on your lap can

become so great that you could not hold the child, no

matter how strong you are. The child and others

could be badly injured. Any child riding in your

vehicle should be in a proper restraint for the child’s

size.

Infants and Child Restraints

•

Safety experts recommend that children ride

rearward-facing in the vehicle until they are at least

one year old and weigh at least 20 lbs (9 kg). Two types

of child restraints can be used rearward-facing: infant

carriers and “convertible” child seats.

•

The infant carrier is only used rearward-facing in the

vehicle. It is recommended for children who weigh up

to about 20 lbs (9 kg). “Convertible” child seats often

have a higher weight limit in the rearward-facing

direction than infant carriers do, so they can be used

rearward-facing by children who weigh more than 20

lbs (9 kg) but are less than one year old. Both types of

child restraints are held in the vehicle by the lap/

shoulder belt or the LATCH child restraint anchorage

system (Refer to LATCH — Child Seat Anchorage

System in this section.)

•

Rearward-facing child seats must NEVER be used in

the front seat of a vehicle with the front passenger

airbag unless the airbag is turned off. An airbag

deployment could cause severe injury or death to

infants in this position.
