WARNING
Important Information
General Warnings
Rear-facing and Forward-facing Use
• Failure to follow installation instructions can result in
the 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
regarding child restraint installation must be followed.
• NEVER leave child unattended.
• Children have STRANGLED in loose or partially
buckled harness straps. Fully restrain the child.
• 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
Rear-facing, Forward-facing Use
• ALWAYS read and follow exactly the instructions
that accompany your vehicle and child restraint.
• According to statistics, children are safer when
properly restrained in a rear seating position than in
the front seating position. Generally, the center rear
position is safest and should be used if available.
•
Some child restraints do not fit all vehicles or all seating
locations. There are many thousands of combinations
of vehicle makes, models, child restraint configurations,
vehicle
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 a
tight installation.
WARNING
Children have STRANGLED
in loose or partially buckled
harness straps. Fully restrain
the child.
