Important Notes
3
Verify that the child restraint is secure and that the harness is
properly adjusted around your child each time you use the
child restraint.
Adjust the harness to fit the clothes your child is wearing. The fit
for a child in winter clothes will differ from a child in summer
clothes.
Cover the child restraint if your vehicle is parked in direct
sunlight. Parts of the child restraint can become hot to the touch
in sunny weather.
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. This ensures that no
deterioration or hidden damage has occurred.
DO NOT leave children alone in a vehicle, even for a short time.
DO NOT, except as described in this booklet, attempt to disas-
semble any part of the child restraint or change the way its
harness or your vehicle seat belts are used.
DO NOT leave loose objects, e.g. books, bags, etc., in the back
of your 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 your 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 accident, it could slide and be unable to protect your child
as well as it should.
