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 
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.
D-3 Choosing LATCH or Vehicle Belts
LATCH Anchor Bars | The LATCH System |
LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) is a universal system for installing child restraints without using vehicle seat belts.
The LATCH system can ONLY be used in vehicles that have
the LATCH anchor bars installed and designated LATCH seating positions. Most vehicles manufactured after September 2002 are equipped with LATCH.
Check your vehicle owner’s manual to see which seating positions may be equipped with the LATCH system.
