one year old, MUST use this car seat rear-facing.
•
MUST attach rear-facing base to car seat.
•
Install this car seat tightly in your vehicle. When checked
at the rear-facing belt path, the car seat should not
move more than 1 in (2.5 cm) from side-to-side or front-
to-back. If using a lap belt only, refer to your vehicle
owner's manual for installation advice.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), NHTSA,
Transport Canada and Diono RECOMMEND that children
be rear-facing until two years of age or they reach the
maximum rear-facing height or weight of their car seat. This
car seat can remain rear-facing up to 50 lb (22.7 kg) or 44 in
(112 cm) tall.
Rear-facing is the safest position for your child. Even if
your provincial, territorial, or state regulations allow you to
move to a forward-facing seat, your child should keep using
rear-facing seats as long as possible.
