Location Warnings – cont.
Rear-facing, Forward-facing, and Booster Use
• ONLY use this child restraint on forward-facing
vehicle seats. DO NOT use this restraint with vehicle
seats that face the rear or side.
• ONLY use this child restraint on vehicle seats with
backs that lock into place.
Premature Infants
Rear-facing, Forward-facing, and Booster
Use
• DO NOT use this or any child restraint with a
premature infant until after consulting your doctor.
Premature infants may have difficulty breathing when
in a seated or semi-reclined position. Using additional
padding or pillows behind the infant’s head or failing
to properly recline the child restraint could increase
the child’s risk of serious injury or death.
Rear-facing Position Warnings
Rear-facing
Use
Only
• DO NOT use this child restraint rear-facing in a vehicle
equipped with lap belts that only lock during a sudden
stop or crash (emergency locking retractor – ELR). You
must use a seating location with a locking seat belt.
Check your vehicle owner’s manual to see if you have
lap belts with ELRs.
• When using this restraint rear-facing, DO NOT loosen the
vehicle seat belt to provide more leg room, as this will
prevent the child restraint from protecting the child.
• Fold-down armrests could pose a hazard to a rear-
facing child in certain types of collisions. Consult your
vehicle owner’s manual before installing any rear-
facing child restraint in front of a fold-down armrest.
•
NEVER turn a child restraint forward-facing with an
infant who weighs less than 10 kg (22 lbs) or is less than
one year of age. Crash forces may cause serious injury or
death.
