Verify child seat is secure and harness is properly adjusted around •
child each time child seat is used.
Adjust harness to fit clothes the child is wearing. Remove bulky •
coats and/or jackets before putting child in child seat.
Cover child seat when vehicle is parked in direct sunlight. Parts of •
child seat could become hot enough to burn a child.

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 its 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 event •
of a sudden stop, a loose seat back could prevent child seat from
protecting the child as well as it should.
Do not allow children to play with this or any child seat. •
