Based on crash statistics, the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration recommends that parents select the rear seat as the safest
location for a properly installed booster seat. Please study the section on
Vehicle Safety Belts in this booklet to ensure the child’s safety. If in doubt
about installing this booster seat, consult the vehicle owner’s manual.
The primary protection for occupants of a vehicle in a collision is the
structure of the vehicle itself; a booster seat will not protect a child when
the vehicle is seriously impacted. However, correctly installed, a booster
seat will substantially improve the chances for survival in most crashes.
Make sure all users fully understand the correct ways to use this booster
seat in a vehicle.
Do not, except as described in this book, attempt to disassemble or modify
any part of the booster seat or vehicle belts.
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 unlatched. In the event of a sudden stop,
a loose seat back could prevent the booster seat from protecting the child
as well as it should.
Do not use anything to raise the booster seat off the vehicle seat.
Do not allow children to play with this booster seat.
Do not leave children alone in a vehicle, even for a short time.
WARNING!
DO NOT place a child restraint
in the front seat of a vehicle with
a passenger air bag. DEATH or
SERIOUS INJURY can occur. The
back seat is the safest place for
children under 12.
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur.
