SOME SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN, such as pre-term babies
or those who have tested positive for positional apnea, may be
at increased risk of suffering breathing or other difficulties in an
infant restraint. If your child has special needs, we recommend
that you have your physician or hospital staff evaluate your child
and recommend the proper infant restraint or car bed before
using this product.
According to accident statistics, CHILDREN ARE SAFER WHEN
PROPERLYRESTRAINED IN REAR VEHICLE SEATING
POSITIONS, RATHER THAN FRONT SEATINGPOSITIONS.
For a vehicle with a front passenger air bag, refer to your vehicle
owner’s manual as well as these instructions for infant restraint
installation.
NEVER LEAVEYOUR CHILD UNATTENDED.
NEVER LEAVEAN INFANT RESTRAINT AND BASE
UNSECURED IN YOUR VEHICLE. An unsecured infant
restraint or base can be thrown around and may injure occupants
in a sharp turn, sudden stop or crash. Remove it or make sure
that it is securely belted in the vehicle. If not using LATCH, make
sure unsecured LATCH connectors are properly stored on base.

ACCIDENT OF ANY KIND. An accident can cause damage to
the infant restraint that you cannot see.
