Vehicle Seating Positions
9
IMPORTANT: Some vehicles have no seating
positions which are compatible with the
Super Elite (or any other child seat). If in
doubt contact your vehicle manufacturer for
assistance.
The following types of vehicle seat belts
are not compatible with the Super Elite:
• Front seat belts with top or bottom
anchorage points in the door.
• Motor driven automatic seat belts.
• Three-point belts that have separate
retractors for the shoulder section and
the lap section.
• Non-locking (ELR) two-point seat belts.
The owner's manual for your vehicle will
have information on the types of seat belts
in your vehicle. If you have belts of the above-listed types, select
another seating position. The Super Elite will work with rear seat three-
point seat belts with a sliding latch plate, and with rear seat three-point
seat belts that are specifically marked as appropriate for child seats. The
middle rear seat of most vehicles has a lap belt which most often will
work with the Super Elite.
The Super Elite can fit securely in most vehicles using the existing seat
belts. However, some types of vehicle designs prevent a secure fit of the
child seat due to the position of the seat belt lower anchorage points.

Use the Super Elite only in vehicle seats which face forward!
Do not use this seat on vehicle seats facing sideways or
backwards!
Forward facing vehicle seats must be used with the Super Elite.
Side facing or rear facing seats in vans, station wagons or trucks
cannot be used with this child seat.
DO NOT locate any child under 12 on the front seat with an air
bag unless the air bag is turned off. DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY can result. The back seat is the safest place for children.
