FIND THE RIGHT SEAT
• Use an infant-only seat for infants up to 14 kg. Keep it rear-facing and semi-reclined.
Be sure the harness comes from slots at or below the baby’s shoulders and is snug when buckled.

• Use your convertible child seat in a forward-facing and upright position for toddlers and children
between 14 and 30 kg. Be sure the harness straps are coming from above the child’s shoulders.
• For children between 30 and 45 kg use a belt-positioning-booster seat.
• Children over 46 kg must pass the safety-belt-fit criteria before wearing a normal car safety belt.
• Knees should bend naturally at the edge of the seat.
• The lap belt should sit low on the hips.
• The shoulder part of the seatbelt should rest on the shoulder or collarbone.
• The child should be able to maintain this position the length of your trip.
ALWAYS REMEMBER
• Place all children under 13 in a back seat.
• Never place a rear-facing child seat in front of an airbag.
• Use a child seat for all children until they can safely wear the adult seatbelt.
• Be sure you have one seatbelt for every person.
• NEVER place the shoulder belt under the arm or behind the back.
• Be sure all child seats are locked into the car using the LATCH system or the seatbelt.
