WARNING
Based on crash statistics, the National Highway Trafc Safety
Administration recommends that parents select the rear seat as the
safest location for a properly installed child restraint. Please study
the section on Vehicle Safety Belts in this booklet to ensure the
child’s safety. If in doubt about installing the child restraint, consult
the vehicle owner’s manual.
Secure this child restraint even when it is not occupied. In a crash, an
unsecured child restraint may injure vehicle occupants.
When using in vehicle with air bags, refer to the vehicle owner’s
manual for child restraint installation instructions and precautions.
Never use the adjuster strap to lift or carry this child restraint. Doing
so could cause damage to the harness adjuster and webbing. Always
carry this child restraint by the shell or tether strap.
The primary protection for occupants of a vehicle in a crash is the
structure of the vehicle; a child restraint will not protect a child when
the vehicle is seriously impacted. However, correctly installed, a child
restraint will substantially improve the chances for survival in most
crashes. Make sure that all users fully understand the correct ways to
use this child restraint in a vehicle.
Stop 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.
IMPORTANT NOTES
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 for an extended period of time. Do
not place heavy objects on top of it.
Do not leave children alone in a vehicle, even for
a short time.
Do not, except as described in this booklet,
attempt to disassemble any part of the child
restraint or change the way its harness or the
vehicle 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 a crash, it could slide and be
unable to protect the child as well as it should.
