Detailed Instructions
If your baby is already old enough to sit up, it’s time to switch their car seat from the rear facing position to the front facing position. There are a few things you’ll need before you make the switch:
1. A new car seat for your baby
2. A second car seat strap
3. The correct adapter plates or brackets
4. A Phillips head screwdriver
5. An adult’s help
1. Remove your old car seat from your child’s vehicle by unbuckling it and pulling it out of the car. Make sure to remove all the straps and padding from the car seat as you go!
2. Check to see if your baby meets all of the safety requirements for a forward-facing convertible car seat: they should be able to sit up with support, hold their head up, and be able to see out of one eye without assistance (or a toy in that eye). If not, visit a dealership or seek assistance from a certified safety specialist before proceeding.
3. Measure your vehicle interior and find where the front seats are located (usually on either side of the driver). Install your new front-facing convertible car seat in this location using either adapters or brackets that come with your seat, following instructions provided by Graco or the manufacturer of your adapter/bracket set. Be sure to tighten all screws and restraints securely before installation!

Warnings Before Switching Car Seat
When you’re ready to switch your child’s car seat to the front facing position, be sure to read these warnings first.
If your child is under the age of 1 year old, they must be in a rear-facing car seat until they are at least 1 year old and 6 months old, depending on the weight and height of the child.
If your child is 1 year old or older but under 4 years old, they may use a forward-facing car seat until they reach 4 years old and are taller than 48 inches tall. Children who are 4 years old or older must use a booster seat until they reach 8 years of age and are at least 60 inches tall.
If you choose to switch your child’s car seat from rear-facing to forward-facing, it is important that you do not move their current vehicleseat without also upgrading it to a convertible car seat. Graco makes a convertible car seat that can also be used as a booster for children who are 4 years old or older. To find out if your vehicle meets this criteria, please check our Vehicle Seat Compatibility Chart.
Tips For Safe and Efficient Switching
There are a few tips to keep in mind when switching a car seat from rear-facing to front-facing:
1. Make sure the carseat is properly installed in the car. Both the base and the child’s seat should be situated in their designated seating positions, and the straps should be tightened.
2. Use a mirror or yardstick to check that the child’s head is squarely below the top of the carseat back. The chin should rest on either side of the notch at the top of the backrest.
3. If using a convertible car seat, make sure it is completely unfolded before switching to front facing so that there are no wrinkles or excess fabric between peak and shoulder belts.
4. Check for red flags such as rashes, fever, vomiting, diarrhea or swelling near the navel after making a switch from rear-facing to front-facing.. If any red flags are noted, consult your pediatrician immediately!
