There are many kinds of vehicles, seat belts, 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 seat in your vehicle. You must carefully follow the instructions provided by your vehicle manufacturer, in addition to the information in this manual. Before proceeding, be sure you have read and understood the section on safe and unsafe vehicle belt systems.

Failure to properly secure the car seat in the vehicle increases the child’s risk of serious injury or death in the event of a sharp turn, sudden stop or crash.
