WARNINGS + GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING
DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY CAN OCCUR
According to accident statistics, children are statistically safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating positions,
whether there are airbags, advanced airbags or no airbags at all. To ensure
your child’s safety refer to approved seating positions on page 11 in this
manual or your Vehicle’s Owner Manual.
• NEVER leave Child Restraint unsecured in your vehicle even when it is
unoccupied. In a crash, it could become a projectile and injure other
vehicle occupants.
• DO NOT use this Child Restraint without the seat cover. Failure to do
this can result in serious injury.
• Use this Child Restraint only on vehicle seats that face forward.
• DO NOT use on seats that face the sides or rear of the vehicle.
5
NEVER place this Child Restraint on a front seat with an
airbag. DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY can occur. An airbag can
strike a rear-facing infant restraint with enough force to crack
the shell and seriously injure or kill an infant. The back seat
is the safest place for children 12 and under. Refer to the vehicle owner’s
instruction manual before installing this Child Restraint in a seating position
with side airbags.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury to your child
or other vehicle occupants.
• NEVER leave child unattended.
• DO NOT use this Child Restraint system if it has been in a vehicle accident.
• Ensure that the child’s head is positioned correctly within the headrest and
that the shoulder belt is placed correctly over the child’s shoulders.
WARNINGS + GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

• DO NOT modify this restraint except as instructed in this instruction book.
Minor modifications can change the way a Child Restraint performs in a crash.

vehicle because they can become deadly projectiles in a crash.
• DO NOT take child out of this Child Restraint while the vehicle is moving.
• DO NOT allow children to play with this Child Restraint. It is not a toy.

• ALWAYS check all surfaces of restraint before securing your child. In warm
weather, Child Restraints can become very hot and may result in burns to
your child. Park in the shade or where sun does not directly hit the Child
Restraint. Cover the Child Restraint with a sheet or blanket when not in use.
• ALWAYS properly store Lower Anchor Connectors when not in use.
• Check the vehicle’s owner manual for more information about airbag/Child
Restraint use.
• For vehicles without a back seat, refer to your vehicle’s owner manual.

properly and securely.
