Since when have pictograms been required to indicate the standardized maximum child weight for installation with lower anchors on car seats?

The requirement for pictograms indicating the standardized maximum child weight for installation with lower anchors on car seats came into effect in February 2014. This change was implemented as part of an effort to enhance the clarity of safety information for caregivers and to standardize labeling across different car seat manufacturers. The use of pictograms aims to improve understanding and compliance regarding weight limits for car seats, making it easier for users to identify whether their child falls within the safe range for using lower anchors. This requirement supports overall child passenger safety initiatives, ensuring that caregivers have accessible and clear information to make informed decisions about car seat installation.
