Older Children And Child Restraints
NOTE:

the rear seats are not present in your vehicle,
NEVER attempt to install a child restraint in
these positions.

facing child seats and convertible child seats
used in the forward-facing direction are for chil-
dren who are over two years old or who have
outgrown the rear-facing weight or height limit
of their rear-facing convertible child seat. Chil-
dren should remain in a forward-facing child
seat with a harness for as long as possible, up to
the highest weight or height allowed by the child

All children whose weight or height is above the
forward-facing limit for the child seat should
use a belt-positioning booster seat until the
vehicle’s seat belts fit properly . If the child
cannot sit with knees bent over the vehicle’ s
seat cushion while the child’ s back is against
the seatback, they should use a belt-positioning
booster seat. The child and belt-positioning
booster seat are held in the vehicle by the seat
belt.
