1.3 About Airbags

!With some child restraint systems, such as rear-facing infant seats, an inflating airbag can strike the child restraint and kill or seriously injure a child.

With regard to this car bed and airbags, our tests and investigations indicate that an inflating airbag will not strike a properly installed car bed and result in serious injury or death. Presently, Graco is not aware of any airbags that will strike a properly installed car bed and injure a child. However, airbags offer no benefit to children in car beds. Also, airbag designs are changing rapidly, and it is impossible to say that new designs will not present a risk of injury or death to a child in a car bed.

As a result, before placing the car bed in a seating location that has an airbag, consider the following:

-Most rear seats do not have airbags, and according to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in rear vehicle seating positions rather than front seating positions.

-Always follow the recommendations of your vehicle manufacturer. See your vehicle owner’s manual and/or contact your vehicle manufacturer for more information about using this car bed in a seating location that has an airbag.

-To avoid any possibility of injury from an inflating airbag, place the car bed in a seating location that does not have one.
