Dorel Juvenile Group 4358-3832A - Manual (Page 2)

Before You Begin...
Thank you for choosing this car seat, referred to throughout
this manual as a child restraint.The DJG family is committed
to creating a child restraint with the most comfort and
convenience available today.
Remember, parents are a child’s first teachers and examples. If
you always buckle your seat belt, your child will think it is the
natural thing to do. Make it a firm rule that the vehicle does
not go until everyone is buckled up. Make no exceptions.
No one can predict if use of a child restraint will prevent
injury or death in a particular crash. However, combined with
careful driving, proper use of a child restraint can lower a
child’s risk of injury or death in most crashes.
Your child’s safety is worth the time it will take to read and
follow these instructions.After reading, if you still have
questions or have any problems with this child restraint,
please contact our Consumer Relations Department at:
