Safety Information

Important Harness Adjustments

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics :

All infants should ride rear-facing until they have reached at least 1 year of age and weigh at least 9.1 kg (20 lbs). That means that if your infant reaches 9.1 kg (20 lbs) before her first birthday, she should remain rear- facing at least until she turns 1 year old. It is best for children to ride rear- facing to the highest weight or height allowed by the manufacturer.
