Evenflo Discovery 5 - Default Chapter; Table of Contents

More children are killed every year as passen-
gers in car crashes than by any other type of
injury. To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH, read this owner’s manual and your vehicle
owner’s manual before installing and using this child
restraint. Using a child restraint makes a big difference.
By properly using this child restraint and following
these instructions (and the instructions that accompany
your vehicle), you will greatly reduce the risk of serious
injury or death to your child from a crash. Do not be
misled by the commonly used term “safety seat”; no
restraint system can prevent all injuries in all crashes.
Many properly restrained adults and children are
injured in motor vehicle crashes, including relatively
minor crashes. A properly used child restraint is the best
way to minimize injuries to your child and to increase
the chances for your child’s survival in most crashes.
