Safety Information
Important Notes
•Verify that the child seat is securely installed and the harness is properly adjusted around the child each time the child seat is used.
•Discontinue use of this child seat if it has been in a moderate or severe crash. It is not necessary to replace a car seat after a minor crash defined by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) as:
*The vehicle is driveable from the crash site.
*The vehicle door nearest the child seat was not damaged.
*No vehicle occupants were injured.
*There is no visible damage to the child seat.
*The airbags (if present) did not deploy.
•Adjust the harness to fit the clothes the child is wearing. Remove bulky coats and/or jackets before putting the child in child seat.
•Cover the child seat when the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight. Metal parts of child seat could become hot enough to burn a child.
•Store the child seat in a safe place when it is not being used. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of it.
•Do not leave children alone in a vehicle, even for a short time.
•Do not, except as described in this booklet, attempt to disassemble any part of the child seat or change the way the harness or vehicle’s seat belts are used.
•Do not leave loose objects, e.g. books, bags, etc., in the back of a vehicle. In the event of a sudden stop, loose objects will keep moving, potentially causing serious injuries.
•Do not leave folding vehicle seats unsecured or unlatched. In the event of a sudden stop, a loose seat back could cause the child seat not to perform as intended.
•Do not allow children to play with this child seat.
•Do not use anything to raise the child seat off vehicle seat except as described in these instructions. In a crash, this could cause the child seat not to perform as intended.
