• DO NOT use this restraint in the front seat of a
vehicle equipped with an active air bag. Interaction

cause serious injury or death. If your vehicle has an
air bag, refer to the vehicle owner's manual for child
restraint installation.
• If the rear seat of your vehicle is equipped with side
air bags, refer to the following information for proper
usage.
Vehicles built prior to the 2002 model year:
DO NOT use this restraint in a vehicle seating posi-
tion equipped with a side air bag unless authorized
by the vehicle manufacturer.
Model year 2002 and newer vehicles: Refer to
your vehicle owner’s manual before placing this
restraint in a seating position equipped with a side

• Do not place any objects between the restraint and
the side air bag, as an expanding air bag may cause
the items to strike your child.
WARNING
General Warnings
• Failure to follow installation instructions can result in
your child striking the vehicle’s interior during a sudden
stop or crash. Serious injury or death may result. These
instructions and the instructions in your vehicle owner’s
manual must be followed carefully. If there is a conflict
between the two, the vehicle owner’s manual regard-
ing child restraint installation must be followed.
• This child restraint
MUST ALWAYS face the rear of
the vehicle. Serious injury or death can occur.
• NEVER leave child unattended.
• DO NOT use child restraint if it is damaged, broken,
or missing parts.
• DO NOT use this restraint if it has been involved in a
crash. It must be replaced.
Location Warnings
• ALWAYS read and follow exactly the instructions that
accompany your vehicle and child restraint.
• According to accident statistics, children are safer when
properly restrained in a rear seating position than in a
front seating position. Generally, the center rear is safest
and should be used if available. Children 12 and under
should ride in the back seat of the vehicle.
• If you are unable to use the center rear seating position
and have to install this child restraint directly behind a
front vehicle seat, ensure that there is at least 1-1/2 in.
(38 mm) of space between any part of the child
restraint and the vehicle seat that is closest to the
child’s head. This space may be necessary for the child
restraint to properly perform in certain types of crashes.
•
ONLY use this child restraint on forward-facing vehicle
seats. DO NOT use on vehicle seats which face the rear
or side.
• ONLY use this child restraint on vehicle seats with
backs that lock into place.
• Some child restraints do not fit all vehicles or all seating
locations. There are thousands of com-binations of
vehicle makes, models, child restraint configurations,
seat belt designs and seat cushion shapes. The easiest
way to determine whether your child restraint is
suitable for a particular seating position is to check for
