4-A Forward-Facing Safe Use Checklist
Forward-Facing:
22-65 lb (10-30 kg) and
49” (125 cm) or less
• Car seat must be forward-facing in the
vehicle back seat.
• Make sure LATCH strap or vehicle seat belt
is routed through the forward-facing belt
path, marked with an orange label.
• Install this car seat tightly in your ve-
hicle. Car seat should not move at the
forward-facing belt path more than 1” (2.5
cm) from side to side and front to back.
• Attach and tighten top tether strap. When
used properly, the top tether helps reduce
injury in a sudden stop or crash.
• Harness straps must be at or just
above the top of child’s shoulders and
chest clip must be at armpit level.
• Children are safer riding rear-facing
and should ride rear-facing as long as
possible, until they reach the maximum
rear-facing height or weight rating for
their car seat. Then children should ride
forward-facing, using the built-in harness
system for as long as possible until they
reach the maximum forward-facing weight
or height for their car seat. At that point,
children should ride in a belt-positioning
booster seat. Be sure to check your
local and state laws, as well as AAP and
NHTSA recommendations, for car seat
usage.
