Rearward-facing Child Restraint
System
A rearward-facing Child Restraint
System provides restraint with the
seating surface against the back of
the child. The harness system holds
the child in place, and in an accident,
acts to keep the child positioned in
the Child Restraint Systems and
reduce the stress to the fragile neck
and spinal cord.
All children under the age of one
year must always ride in a rearward-
facing Child Restraint System. There
are different types of rearward-facing
Child Restraint Systems: infant-only
Child Restraint Systems can only be
used rearward-facing. Convertible
and 3-in-1 Child Restraint Systems
typically have higher height and
weight limits for the rearward-facing
position, allowing you to keep your
child rearward-facing for a longer
period of time.
Keep using Child Restraint Systems
in the rearward-facing position as
long as children fit within the height
and weight limits allowed by the
Child Restraint System's manufac-
turer.
Forward-facing Child Restraint System
A forward-facing Child Restraint
System provides restraint for the
child’s body with a harness. Keep
children in a forward-facing Child
Restraint System with a harness
until they reach the top height or
weight limit allowed by your Child
Restraint System’s manufacturer.
Once your child outgrows the for-
ward-facing Child Restraint System,
your child is ready for a booster seat.
