More children are killed every year as passengers
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.
