Based on crash statistics, the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration recommends that parents select the
back seat as the safest location for a properly installed child
restraint. Please study the Vehicle Safety Belts section in
this booklet to ensure your child’s safety. If in doubt about
installing child restraint, consult your vehicle’s owner’s
manual.
Secure this child restraint even when it is not occupied.
In a crash, an unsecured child restraint may injure vehicle
occupants.
When using in a vehicle with air bags, refer to your vehicle‘s
owner’s manual for child restraint installation instructions
and precautions.
Never use adjuster strap to lift or carry this child restraint.
Doing so could cause damage to harness adjuster and
webbing. Always carry this child restraint by its shell or
tether straps.
The primary protection for occupants of a vehicle in a
collision is the body of the vehicle itself; a child restraint
will not protect a child when a vehicle is seriously
impacted. However, correctly installed, a child restraint will
substantially improve chances for survival in most crashes.
Make sure all users fully understand the correct ways to
use this child restraint in a vehicle.
