1.0 Warnings to Parents and Other Users
Failure to properly use this child restraint increases the risk of serious injury or death in a sharp
turn, sudden stop or crash. Your child’s safety depends on you installing and using this child
restraint correctly.
Even if using this child restraint seems easy to figure out on your own, it is very important to READ
THE OWNER’S MANUAL and the vehicle owner’s manual.
Your child’s safety depends on:
1. Choosing the correct mode of use for the child restraint depending on your child’s size.
2. Inserting the harness straps (if needed) in the proper slots for your child.
3. Selecting a suitable location for the child restraint in your vehicle.
4. Properly routing the vehicle seat belt or UAS.
5. Properly securing the child restraint in the vehicle using a seat belt designed to restrain
both the child restraint and your child or by using UAS. Many seat belts are NOT safe to use
with this child restraint, even though they can easily be threaded through or around the child
restraint!
6. Properly securing your child in the child restraint.
