The clothes your child wears will cause the harness fit to vary. It is neces- sary to adjust the tightness with EVERY trip.

To avoid injury, this restraint should be installed and adjusted by an adult. Never allow a child to buckle themselves into this car seat.

Metal and plastic parts can become very hot when exposed to the sun.

When not in use, place a blanket or towel over your Sit’n’Stroll™ if it will be in the sun for long periods of time. Check to be sure the metal and plastic parts are not too hot before placing your child in the seat.

If this restraint is involved in an accident, replace it regardless of appearance. The vehicle seat belt must also be replaced. Damage is not always visible.
