There are many such car seats on the market. There are many
manufacturers of such seats. Each of those seats has dierent
functions, capacities, and limitations. Each of those manufacturers
has dierent instructions and precautions in its manuals. They use
dierent terms to describe them. INEOS cannot advise you on
which car seat is right for your child or for the jurisdiction in which
you are driving. However, you must choose a seat that (1) ts your
child and secures your child in place and (2) allows you to comply
with applicable laws where you are driving. And you must follow
the instructions and precautions provided by the car seat
manufacturer.
We recommend that you buy a new car seat, not a used one. Used
car seats may be damaged. Car seat technology improves year by
year, too.
If you have questions about which seat is legal, check with your
state government’s motor vehicle division or other authority. For
assistance with selecting the right seat and seat t for your child,
there are various sources, including NHTSA’s Car Seat Finder on its
web site: https://www.nhtsa.gov/equipment/car-seats-and-
booster-seats . You can also call NHTSA at 888-327-4236 .
If you want help with installing a child or booster seat, or to
conrm that a particular seat is legal and is right for your child,
you can consult your local authorities. Most states and local police
departments will inspect your child or booster seat and its
installation for safety.
Whenever possible, secure children in one of the rear seating positions, not
the front seat
According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating
positions.
Rear-Facing Car Seats must never be placed in the front passenger
seat. Such seats can be caught by a deploying air bag and ung
rearward. They are incompatible with the front seat air bag.
Placing a Rear-Facing Car Seat in your Grenadier’s front seat could
lead to serious injury and death.
There are two means of securing Rear-Facing and Forward-Facing
Car Seats to your Grenadier:
A LATCH (ISOFIX) system at each of the two rear
outboard seating positions
for use only with Rear-Facing
Car Seats; and
Your Grenadier’s seat belts at each of the three rear
seating positions (and
in the front passenger seat in case
of an emergency);
Car seat Upper Tethers should be used for all Forward-Facing Car
Seats in addition to one of the two methods above. There is a car
seat Upper Tether hook on the back of each rear seat.
