Important Notes

• Verify that the child seat is securely installed and the harness is

properly adjusted around the child each time the child seat is used

.

• Discontinue use of this child seat if it has been in a moderate

or severe crash. It is not necessary to replace a car seat after a

minor crash defined by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration (NHTSA) as:
* The vehicle is driveable from the crash site.
* The vehicle door nearest the child seat was not damaged.
* No vehicle occupants were injured.
* There is no visible damage to the child seat.
* The airbags (if present) did not deploy.

• Adjust the harness to fit the clothes the child is wearing. Remove

bulky coats and/or jackets before putting the child in child seat.

• Cover the child seat when the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight.

Metal parts of child seat could become hot enough to burn a child.

• Store the child seat in a safe place when it is not being used. Avoid

placing heavy objects on top of it.

• Do not leave children alone in a vehicle, even for a short time.
• Do not, except as described in this booklet, attempt to disassemble

any part of the child seat or change the way the harness or vehicle’s

seat belts are used.

• Do not leave loose objects, e.g. books, bags, etc., in the back of

a vehicle. In the event of a sudden stop, loose objects will keep

moving, potentially causing serious injuries.

• Do not leave folding vehicle seats unsecured or unlatched. In the

event of a sudden stop, a loose seat back could cause the child seat

not to perform as intended.

• Do not allow children to play with this child seat.
• Do not use anything to raise the child seat off vehicle seat except as

described in these instructions. In a crash, this could cause the child

seat not to perform as intended.
