Product Description
For children weighing: birth to 22 lbs. - rear-facing position; 22 to 40 lbs. - forward-facing position. A car seat will only protect a child if it's used correctly, every time. To make sure that happens, be sure your car seat is in the right position for your child. Infants are safer facing the rear of your vehicle, so from birth to 22 lbs., place your Safe Embrace Convertible Car Seat in the rear-facing position. Once your child weighs between 22 to 40 lbs., convert the car seat to the forward-facing position.

Patent Pending Steel Frame Construction - The Safe Embrace Convertible Car Seat has a steel frame that provides greater strength and durability than car seats with all-plastic frames, resulting in greater protection for your child.

Five-Point Harness - To provide your child with the best protection through infancy and into the toddler years, safety experts recommend the five-point harness. It uses five belts to hold your child securely in place, which provide better containment in an accident - especially for infants. Energy-Absorbing Foam - We've lined the shell of the Safe Embrace Convertible Car Seat with energy-absorbing foam to surround your child with an extra layer of protection.
Built-In Locking Clips - Depending on the type of belts in your vehicle, you may need a locking clip in order to tighten the belts and hold your car seat securely in place. Separate locking clips, however, are often difficult to install and easy to lose. That's why we've built them right into the Safe Embrace Convertible Car Seat, making it much easier and more convenient to firmly secure your car seat in your vehicle. Color-Coded Installation - In order for a car seat to perform properly, it's critical that all of the belts are routed and positioned correctly. To make it easier for you to do this right every time, we've color coded the harness slots, vehicle belt paths, and seating positions on the Safe Embrace Convertible Car Seat. Follow blue for infant settings and burgundy for toddler. Safer Fit In Your Vehicle - Not all car seats are compatible with all models of vehicles. It's important to make sure your car seat fits securely and snugly in your vehicle so it can provide adequate protection in a crash. The Safe Embrace Convertible Car Seat has a contoured base and belt-routing system designed for a secure fit in virtually all vehicles. Tether Strap Attachment - Reducing forward motion is key to reducing injuries in a crash. A tether strap is an additional belt anchoring the car seat directly to the frame of your vehicle. In a crash, the tether strap reduces forward motion of your child's head and significantly decreases the potential for injury. Meets Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 213 for child restraint systems and is certified for use in aircraft. The safety features of this Fisher-PriceĀ® car seat will reduce the risk of injury to your child in an accident; however, no car seat can prevent serious injury or death in all accidents.
