Safety Information
IMPORTANT
Verify that the child restraint is secure and that the harness is
properly adjusted around the child each time the child restraint
is used.
Adjust the harness to fit the clothes the child is wearing. The fit for
a child in winter clothes will differ from a child in summer clothes.
Cover the restraint when the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight.
Parts of the child restraint could become hot enough to burn the
child.
Store the child restraint in a safe place when it is not being used.
Avoid placing heavy objects on top of it.
Discontinue 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.
Do not leave children alone in a vehicle, even for a short time.
Do not, except as described in this booklet, attempt to disassem-
ble any part of the child restraint or change the way its harness or
the vehicle restraint belts are used.
Do not leave loose objects, e.g. books, bags, etc., in the back of a
vehicle. In the event of a sudden stop, loose objects will keep
moving, potentially causing serious injuries.
Do not leave folding vehicle seats unlatched. In the event of a
sudden stop, a loose seat back could prevent the child restraint
from protecting the child as well as it should.
Do not allow children to play with the child restraint.
Do not use anything to raise the restraint off the vehicle seat. In an
crash, it could slide and may not protect the child as well as it
should.
