safety belts and their use with child seats. Some vehicles have no seating
positions which are compatible with this child seat or any other child seat.

The vehicle owner’s manual will have information on the types
of vehicle belts in your vehicle. If your belt type is listed below,
select another seating position or use Lower Anchors and Tethers
