The infant carrier is only used rearw ard -facing in the
vehicle. It is recom mend ed for child ren who weigh up
to abou t 20 lbs (9 kg). “Convertible” child seats often
have a higher weight limit in the rearw ard -facing
direction than infant carriers do, so they can be used
rearw ard -facing by child ren who weigh more than 20
lbs (9 kg) but are less than one year old. Both typ es of
child restraints are held in the vehicle by the lap/
shou lder belt or the LATCH child restraint anchorage
system (Refer to LATCH — Child Seat Anchorage
System in this section.)
WARN ING!
In a collision , an unrestrain ed child , even a tin y baby,
can becom e a missile insid e the veh icle. The force
req uired to hold even an infan t on you r lap could
becom e so great that you could not hold the child , no
matter how stron g you are. The child and oth ers
could be badly injured . Any child rid ing in you r
veh icle should be in a prop er restrain t for the child ’s
size.

Rearw ard -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
deploym ent could cause severe injury or death to
infants in this position.
