2.2About Using this Car Seat in Your Vehicle

YOUR CHILD CAN BE INJURED in a vehicle even if you are not in a crash. Common events such as sudden braking and sharp turns can injure your child if the car seat is not properly installed or if your child is not properly secured in the car seat.

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 seat in your vehicle. You must carefully follow the instructions provided by your vehicle manufacturer, in addition to the information in this manual.

SOME VEHICLES DO NOT HAVE ANY safe location for this car seat, and many vehicles have seat belt systems that must not be used with the car seat because those systems will not safely hold the car seat or your child in place. Refer to sections 4 and 5.2, “Selecting a Suitable Location for the Car Seat” (pages 13 & 19) and to your vehicle owner’s manual for information.

THIS CHILD RESTRAINT conforms to all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
