WARNING  
Failure to follow these warnings can  
result in the serious injury or death of  
your child. To help you recognize those  
instructions which are most critical for  
your child’s safety, we use this symbol :  
To avoid your child being seriously burned,  
take the following precautions:  
1. Park in the shade or where sun does  
not directly hit the child restraint.  
According to accident statistics,  
children are safer when properly  
restrained in the rear seating positions  
than in the front seating positions.  
2. Cover the child restraint with a sheet or  
blanket when not in use.  
Never place a child rear-facing  
in a seating position with an  
active frontal airbag.  
3. Check for hot seat and buckles before  
placing child in child restraint.  
This child restraint must always face  
the rear of the vehicle and be in the fully  
reclined position when the child weighs  
between 5-35 lbs. (2.3-16 kg) and is less  
than one year old.

Definition: These belts only lock in a sudden  
stop or crash. To see if you have this type of  
belt, pull on the lap belt, let it return part way,  
then pull on it again. If it moves freely, it is an  
ELR belt and the child restraint could work  
loose during normal driving. Refer to your  
vehicle owner’s manual. Some ELR belts will  
convert to Automatic Locking Retractor
