Accessory products for use with the Safety Seat are acceptable for use provided that they do not interfere with the harness assembly, or the proper adjustment of the harness such that it remains tight on the child’s shoulders at all times. Thick, soft, or other compressible material in excess of 1/4 inch thick should not be placed behind or under the child or between the child and harness straps. Examples of accessory products are head support pillows or rolled blankets to add additional head support.

SECURING THE SAFETY SEAT OR BASE IN THE VEHICLE

Please read carefully section 4.3, Check that the Vehicle Seat Belt is Safe to Use, before proceeding with the installation of the Safety Seat. Please understand that due to the extremely large number of vehicles in use today, and the correspondingly large number of safety belt systems, this section can only provide guidance, as to the proper installation of the Safety Seat, that must be combined with the information provided by your vehicle manufacturer in order to obtain a proper and safe installation.

WARNING

Failure to properly install and secure the Safety Seat in a rear facing position within the vehicle increases the child’s risk of death or serious injury in the event of a sharp turn, sudden stop or crash. Carefully follow these instructions, and the instructions provided by your vehicle manufacturer for the installation of child safety seats, to ensure that the Safety Seat is properly located, positioned and held tightly installed at all times.
