Failure to properly use this car seat increases the risk of
serious injury or death in a sharp turn, sudden stop or
crash. Your child’s safety depends on you installing and
using this car seat correctly.
Even if using this car seat seems easy to figure out on
your own, it is very important to READ THE OWNER’S
MANUAL and the vehicle owner’s manual.
Your child’s safety depends on:
1. Choosing the correct mode of use for the car
seat depending on your child’s size.
2. Inserting the harness straps (if needed) in the
proper slots for your child.
3. Selecting a suitable location for the car seat in
your vehicle.
4. Properly routing the vehicle seat belt.
5. Properly securing the car seat in the vehicle
using a seat belt designed to restrain the car seat
and your child. Many seat belts are NOT safe to
use with this car seat, even though they can easily
be threaded through or around the car seat!
6. Properly securing your child in the car seat.
