8. Securing the Safety Seat/Base in Your Vehicle

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 safety 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 seat belt systems.

Failure to properly secure the safety seat in a rear-facing position within the vehicle increases the child’s risk of serious injury or death in the event of a sharp turn, sudden stop or crash.

Carefully follow these instructions and those in your vehicle owner’s manual to be sure your safety seat is properly located, positioned, and held tightly at all times.
