These seats must be rear facing and in the back seat.

Convertible car seats may be place rear facing for infants from 5-35 pounds. They may be turned around and be forward facing for toddlers from 20-35 pounds. Convertible car seats feature a five-point harness, which connects straps from the shoulders, waist and between the legs.Type 1
Type 1 seats are car seats that feature a 5-point harness and are forward facing. Children that fit in these seats are between 20-40 pounds.-
