• Based on crash statistics, the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration recommends that parents select the rear seat as the
safest location for a properly installed child restraint. Please study
the section on Vehicle Safety Belts in this booklet to ensure the
child’s safety. If in doubt about installing the child restraint, consult
the vehicle owner’s manual.

• Secure this child restraint even when it is not occupied. In a crash, an
unsecured child restraint may injure vehicle occupants.
• When using in vehicle with air bags, refer to the vehicle owner’s
manual for child restraint installation instructions and precautions.
• Never use the adjuster strap to lift or carry this child restraint. Doing
so could cause damage to the harness adjuster and webbing. Always
carry this child restraint by the shell or tether strap.
• The primary protection for occupants of a vehicle in a crash is the
structure of the vehicle; a child restraint will not protect a child when
the vehicle is seriously impacted. However, correctly installed, a child
restraint will substantially improve the chances for survival in most
crashes. Make sure that all users fully understand the correct ways to
use this child restraint in a vehicle.
• Stop use of a child restraint that is older than six years or has been
in a severe crash to prevent injury due to deterioration or hidden
damage.

IMPORTANT!ꢀVehicle seats and safety belts differ
from vehicle to vehicle.Refer to your vehicle
owner’s manual for specific information about
the vehicle safety belts and their use with child
restraints.Some vehicles have no seating positions
which are compatible with this child restraint, or
any other child restraint. If in doubt, contact the
vehicle manufacturer for assistance.
• Forward-facing vehicle seats must be used with this child restraint.
Side-facing or rear-facing seats cannot be used.
• Do not place a child restraint in the front seat of a vehicle with a
passenger air bag unless the air bag is turned off. Death or serious injury
can occur. The back seat is the safest place for children under
12 years of age.
