•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.
