Child Requirements

• 

1.8 to 10 kg (4 to 22 lbs) 

• 

43 to 73 cm (17 to 29 in.) and 

top of child’s head is at  

least 2.5 cm (1 in.) below the 

top of the child restraint  

seat back (see pages 19

 

and 28).

This child restraint is designed for use by children in 

rear-facing 

orientation only. To use this child restraint 

properly, children 

MUST

 

meet the size and age 

requirements below. In addition, Evenflo recommends 

consulting with your child’s physician before allowing 

your child to transition from a 

rear-facing

 to 

forward-

facing

 child restraint.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) 

recommends keeping children 

rear-facing

 for as long 

as possible, until they reach the maximum height or 

weight for their child restraint in 

rear-facing

 orientation.* 

Additionally, some states’ laws require children to be 

rear-facing

 until age 2. Accordingly, you will see this 

guidance reflected in the Child Requirements on the 

following pages. Please review any applicable local, 

state or provincial laws related to child passenger safety 

before installing and using this Car Seat.

*Pediatrics. 2018;142(4):e20182460

WARNING!

DEATH or SERIOUS 

INJURY can occur.

IMPORTANT:

 Once your child exceeds any of the size 

requirements above, you 

MUST

 discontinue use of this 

child restraint.
