protection in an accident.

position may also contact or push up
against the safety belt buckles, which
can damage the buckles and make
them unusable or unsafe. Always
check that the child restraint does not
contact any of the safety belt buckles.
Check the placement of the child
restraint regularly to make sure that it
has not shifted and contacts the
safety belt buckles.

After an accident, have a Kia dealer
check the CRS, seat belts, tether anchors
and lower anchors.

appropriate for your child's height and
weight.
