[Papooses]

From another CPST:

. . . they have front facing harnesed/booster seats listed as "Convertibles". These seats cannot be used rear facing and are not convertible seats.

And, also a few things on my own mind to warn parents/caregivers about....

1. It's still quite subjective (carseat:vehicle compatability / carseat:child compatability / carseat:adult compatability) -- every adult, child & vehicle is different -- the same carseat does not always work the same way for every adult, for all children or in various vehicles

2. *HELP GUIDE* are the key words. This is not a definitive, only resource, final answer type of rating

3. We can only merely continue to hope that this is 1 step closer to vehicle + carseat manufacturers working together to make more carseats fit more vehicles more easily. Techs have been waiting for that to happen for decades already

	Rear Facing Car Seats A rear-facing seat is one in which the infant faces the back of the car. Always install a rear-facing seat in the back seat of your car. This is the safest position for an infant. NEVER place a rear-facing seat in the front seat of a vehicle with passenger airbags.

	Convertible Car Seats Convertible seats are for infants and toddlers. The seat can be used as a rear-facing seats for younger children, and switched to a forward-facing seat on the child's first birthday if the child weighs at least 20 pounds. However, experts recommend keeping the child in a rear-facing position until he or she outgrows the weight or height allowed by the safety seat.

	Booster Seat A booster seat raises your child up so that the car's lap and shoulder belts fit correctly. The lap belt should fall across the upper thighs. The shoulder belt should go across the middle of the shoulder and chest. A booster seat is used for older children up to about 80 pounds. Some states have passed laws requiring booster seats for children up to age 8 or 80 pounds. Check your state's law.
