D-2 Vehicle Seating Position

Some seating positions in your vehicle may not be safe for this child restraint. Some vehicles do not have a seating position that can be used safely with this child restraint. If you are not sure where to place the child restraint in your vehicle, consult your vehicle owner’s manual or contact Dorel Juvenile Group Consumer Relations Dept.

Never place a child rear-facing in a seating position with an active frontal

airbag. This can result in serious injury or death.

Use the child restraint only on vehicle seats that face forward. Do not use on seats that face the sides or rear of the vehicle.

Safety Tip:

Children are safer when properly restrained in rear seating positions than in the front seating positions.

According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration information, children in rear seating positions are statistically safer, whether you have air bags, advanced air bags, or no air bags at all.
