WARNING

￿Improper use of a child restraint can increase the risk or severity of injury for both the child and other occu- pants of the vehicle.

￿Follow all of the child restraint manu- facturer’s instructions for installation and use. When purchasing a child restraint, be sure to select one which will fit your child and vehicle. It may not be possible to properly install some types of child restraints in your vehicle.

￿If the child restraint is not anchored properly, the risk of a child being injured in a collision or a sudden stop greatly increases.

￿Adjustable seatbacks should be po- sitioned to fit the child restraint, but as upright as possible.

￿After attaching the child restraint, test it before you place the child in it. Push it from side to side. Try to tug it

forward and check to see if the belt holds the restraint in place. If the restraint is not secure, tighten the belt as necessary. You may need to try a different child restraint. Not all child restraints fit in all types of ve- hicles.

￿If you install a front facing child re- straint in the front seat, see “Child restraint installation on front passen- ger seat” later in this section.

￿When your child restraint is not in use, keep it secured with a seat belt to prevent it from being thrown around in case of a sudden stop or accident.

CAUTION

Remember that a child restraint left in a closed vehicle can become very hot. Check the seating surface and buckles before placing your child in the child restraint.
