2. Choosing a Suitable Location for the Car Bed

Some seating positions in your vehicle are not safe locations for this car bed. For example, none of the seats on the driver’s side of the vehicle are safe for this car bed.

In addition, there may be some vehicles that do not have any seating positions that can be used safely. Improper placement of the car bed increases the risk of serious injury or death.

Follow the instructions in this section and in your vehicle owner’s manual to select a location for the car bed. If you are not sure where to place the car bed in your vehicle, contact your vehicle manufacturer or Graco Children’s Products Inc., 1-888-224-6549.

2.1 Some Basic Requirements

To reduce the risk of head and neck injuries in the event of a crash, your child’s head must be positioned as close to the center of the car as possible, and never next to a door or the side of the vehicle.
