VEHICLE COMPATIBILITY – Choosing a Vehicle Seating Location
Please read the following information before installing this Child Restraint!
The safest seating position is one that works best
for your specific car seat, family and vehicle. When
determining whether the MESA MAX rear-facing car seat
can be used with lower anchors in the rear center seating
position, it is critical that you refer to your vehicle owner’s
instruction book. If the MESA MAX does not install best in
the rear center seating location, it is recommended to move
to one of the outboard seating positions.
Before installing this child restraint you MUST
determine the method of installation and the best vehicle
seating position for that method. This child restraint can be
installed either using LATCH or the VEHICLE SEAT BELT.
ALWAYS park on a level surface when installing a Child
Restraint.
