4.3 Check that the Vehicle Seat Belt is Safe to Use
The Infant Seat is designed to be tightly installed at all
times. The vehicle seat belt must be capable of maintaining
tight installation at all times. A variety of vehicle seat belt
systems have been installed on vehicles that are not safe
for use with the Infant Seat. Even newer vehicles can have
seat belts systems that are not safe for use with the Infant
Seat. These systems may look safe but their method of
operation precludes their use with the Infant Seat. If you are
unsure if the vehicle seat belt is safe for use with the Infant
Seat, please contact the vehicle manufacturer for additional
information.

bag, please refer to the vehicle’s owner’s manual for additional
information about Active Air bags and Infant Seat installation.

seat that faces to the rear or to either side of
the vehicle. (Fig. 14-1 & 14-2).

must have a locking mechanism to prevent it
from flying forward and striking the child in a
sudden stop or accident.
• Please review your vehicle owner’s manual
to determine the best location for the Infant
Seat or to determine if any locations are
unsafe for Infant Seat installation. If you
do not have the vehicle owner’s manual or
the owner’s manual does not address Infant
Seat installation, please contact the vehicle
manufacturer to obtain this information
before using the Infant Seat.

Carefully analyze the operation of the vehicle safety belts
before using the Infant Seat. Being able to thread the vehicle
seat belt through the Infant Seat or Base is not an indication
that the vehicle seat belt is safe to use. Carefully read this
section on seat belt systems, review your vehicle owner’s
manual in detail, and heed any and all warning labels on your
vehicle’s seat belt. Your vehicle may require a modification
or special seat belt in order to be safely used with this Infant
Seat. Please see your vehicle dealer for this service.
