Rear-facing CRS (Infants/Toddlers) A child under the age of 1 year should always ride in a rear-facing CRS. A child should remain in a rear-facing CRS until they reach the maximum height or weight allowed by the CRS manufac- turer. Keep a child in a rear-facing CRS as long as possible. To maximize your child’s safety while on the road, both the right Child Restraint System (CRS) and the right fit are essential. Sometimes, the choices and the regulations can seem overwhelming. So we created this handy guide to help you determine which type of CRS your child needs based on age, weight, and height. It also provides you with valuable tips on securing your child in the CRS properly.

IMPORTANT TIPS FOR CORRECT CRS USE

With so many CRS makes and models on the market, we understand that choosing the right one can be difficult. That’s why Nissan also created the innovative Snug Kids guide. An industry first, it provides you a selection of child restraint systems that will fit your particular Nissan. Be sure to take a look at the Snug Kids Child Restraint System Fit Guide for your vehicle of choice. Innovation for safety. Innovation for all®.

Booster Seats (Large Children) Once the child outgrows the forward-facing CRS, a booster seat should be used to obtain proper seat belt fit (see description below). Once the child has grown so the shoulder belt is no longer on or near the face and neck and the lap belt can be positioned properly across the lower hips or upper thighs, use the seat belt without the booster seat.

Shoulder belt is properly positioned across the chest and the top, middle portionoftheshoulder.Lapbeltshould lie across the lower hips or upper thighs.
