Safety Information

Important Notes

Verify child restraint is secure and harness is properly adjusted around child each time child restraint is used.

Adjust harness to fit clothes the child is wearing. Remove bulky coats and/or jackets before putting child in restraint.

Cover restraint when vehicle is parked in direct sunlight. Parts of child restraint could become hot enough to burn a child.

Store child restraint in a safe place when it is not being used. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of it.

Do not leave children alone in a vehicle, even for a short time.

Do not, except as described in this booklet, attempt to disassemble any part of the child restraint or change the way its harness or vehicle’s restraint belts are used.

Do not leave loose objects, e.g. books, bags, etc., in the back of a vehicle. In the event of a sudden stop, loose objects will keep moving, potentially causing serious injuries.

Do not leave folding vehicle seats unlatched. In event of a sudden stop, a loose seat back could prevent child restraint from protecting the child as well as it should.

Do not allow children to play with this or any child restraint.

Do not use anything to raise restraint off vehicle seat except as described in these instructions. In a crash, restraint could slide and may not protect the child as well as it should.
