IMPORTANT NOTES
•
Verify that the restraint is secure and that the harness is properly
adjusted around your child each time you use the restraint.
•
Adjust the harness to fit the clothes the child is wearing. The
harness will fit a child in winter clothes differently than a child in
summer clothes.
•
Cover the restraint if your vehicle is parked in direct sunlight. Parts
of the restraint can become hot enough to burn.
•
Store the restraint in a safe place when it is not being used. Avoid
placing heavy objects on top of it.
•
To prevent injury due to deterioration or hidden damage,
discontinue use of a restraint that is older than six years or has
been in a severe crash.
•
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 restraint or change the way its harness or your
vehicle restraint 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 restraint from
protecting your child as well as it should.
•
Do not allow children to play with the restraint.
•
Do not use anything to raise the restraint off the vehicle seat. In a
crash, it could slide and be unable to protect your child as well as
it should.
