This child restraint system conforms to all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Each child restraint is designed for use only by children who weigh between 22 and 40 pounds (10 and 18 kg), whose height is between 33.5 and 40 inches (850 and 1 016 mm), whose shoulders are below the shoulder belt slots for the harness system, and who are capable of sitting upright alone. The child should also be at least one year old. It is important to use a rear-facing infant restraint until the child is at least one year old. A rear-facing restraint gives the infant's head, neck and body the support they would need in a crash. See Older Children on page 1-57 or Infants and Young Children on page 1-59. A child whose weight is over 40 pounds, whose height is over 40 inches or whose shoulders are above the shoulder belt slots for the harness system, should be restrained in an add-on booster seat appropriate for the child's size. See Child Restraint Systems on page 1-63. Once the booster seat is outgrown, the child should sit on the vehicle's regular seat and use the vehicle's safety belts. {CAUTION: Using the vehicle's built-in child restraint as a booster seat for a larger child could cause injury to the child in a sudden stop or crash. A child whose weight is over 40 pounds, whose height is over 40 inches or whose shoulders are above the shoulder belt slots for the harness system should use a restraint system that is appropriate for their size, either an add-on booster seat or the vehicle's safety belt. See "Child Restraints" or "Older Children" in the Index. 1-84
