IMPORTANT: Follow this advice.
LOWER SHOULDER HEIGHT MARKER : Label A
The child’s shoulders must be in-line or above this marker. Approximately 4 years of age.
If the child’s shoulders are below then the child should remain in their previous child
restraint.
When the child’s shoulders reach this upper marker, or the child no longer fits in the
child restraint, approximately 6 to 8 years of age, then the child must be moved to the
next form of child restraint, see next page.
The child restraint is unsuitable for the occupant when the shoulders are below the lower
marker or above the upper height marker. The child needs to be moved into the next form
of restraint when they reach the top shoulder height.
UPPER SHOULDER HEIGHT MARKER : Label B
