Do not install or use this car bed until you read and understand the instructions in this manual and in your vehicle owner’s manual. Do not let others install or use the car bed unless they understand how to use it.

1.1 About Your Child

(4.1 kg) or less and whose height is 20 inches (51 cm) or less.
