THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 89 WARNING! Never place any child seat, booster seat, or infant carrier in the Swivel 'n Go seat while it is in the rearward-facing position. The swivel seat should be locked in the forward position when using any child seat, booster seat, or infant carriers, with the vehicle in motion. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or even death. Older Children and Child Restraints Children who weigh more than 20 lbs (9 kg) and who are older than one year can ride forward-facing in the vehicle. Forward-facing child seats and convertible child seats used in the forward-facing direction are for children who weigh 20 to 40 lbs (9 to 18 kg) and who are older than one year. These child seats are also held in the vehicle by the lap/shoulder belt or the LATCH child restraint anchorage system. Refer to "Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren (LATCH)". An aftermarket belt-positioning booster seat is for children weighing more than 40 lbs (18 kg), but who are still too small to properly fit the vehicle's seat belts. If the child can not sit with knees bent over the vehicles seat cushion while the child's back is against the seatback, they should use a belt-positioning booster seat. The child and booster seat are held in the vehicle by the lap/ shoulder belt. Children Too Large for Booster Seats Children who are large enough to wear the shoulder belt comfortably, and whose legs are long enough to bend over the front of the seat when their back is against the seatback, should use the lap/shoulder belt in a rear seat. • Make sure that the child is upright in the seat. 2
