2.3 When the Car Seat is
Not Occupied
NEVER LEAVE A CAR SEAT
UNSECURED IN YOUR VEHICLE. When
you are not using the car seat, either remove it
or make sure that it is securely belted in the
vehicle. An unsecured car seat can be thrown
around and may injure occupants in the event
of a sharp turn, sudden stop or crash.
PARTS OF THE CAR SEAT CAN BECOME
VERY HOT if the seat is left in the sun. Contact
with these parts can burn your child’s skin. Cover
the car seat with a blanket if it will be exposed to
the sun, and always touch the surface of any metal
or plastic parts before putting your child in the
car seat.
WHEN NOT USING THE CAR SEAT for
long periods, store it in a plastic bag in a cool,
dark, dry place.
DO NOT PLACE HEAVY OBJECTS ON
CAR SEAT while in storage. Heavy objects
may deform car seat over a period of time.
