1.2 About Using this Car Bed in Your Vehicle

!Your child can be injured in a vehicle even if you are not in a crash. More common events such as sudden braking and sharp turns can injure your child if the car bed is not properly installed or if your child is not properly secured in the car bed.

!Do not place apnea monitors, oxygen tanks, or other medical equipment inside the car bed. Keep this equipment outside of the car bed, secured under the seat or on the floor. If not secured, it can be thrown around and may injure occupants in the event of a sharp turn, sudden stop or crash.

!There are many kinds of vehicles, seat belt systems, and occupant protection systems. As a result, it is not possible for this manual to tell you everything you need to know about putting this car bed in your vehicle. You must carefully follow the instructions provided by the vehicle owner’s manual as well as the information in this manual.

!Some vehicles do not have any safe location for this car bed, and many vehicles have seat belt systems that must not be used with the car bed because those systems will not safely hold the car bed in place. Again, you must refer to both this manual and your vehicle owner’s manual.

!This car bed conforms to all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.

!This Restraint is certified for use in Motor Vehicles. This Restraint is not certified for use in aircraft.
