Choosing a Vehicle Seating Location
Do not place this car seat in a vehicle seating location with a
front air bag.
Improper placement of the car seat in a vehicle will increase
the risk of serious injury or death.
• Some seating positions in your vehicle may not be safe for this
child restraint, especially those with side airbags. Check your
vehicle owner’s manual.
• Some vehicles do not have any seating positions where a car
seat can be installed securely.
⚠WARNING⚠
Death or Serious Injury Can Occur Installing the car seat WITH the car seat base:
If you are installing the car seat with the car seat base, first install
the car seat base, and then lock the car seat on the car seat
base. You should choose a seating location in your vehicle with either:
1.
a lower anchorage system, if your vehicle is equipped
with the LATCH/UAS system. LATCH is a term used in the
United States, and stands for
Lower Anchors and Tethers for
Children. LATCH is also referred to as the lower Universal
Anchorage System (UAS) in Canada. In this manual, this
system will be known as LATCH/UAS.
2. a vehicle seat belt. If your vehicle does not have LATCH/
UAS, you must install the car seat base in a seating location
in your vehicle that has an acceptable vehicle seat belt.
Installing the car seat WITHOUT the car seat base:
If you are installing the car seat without the car seat base, you should
only use:
1.
a vehicle seat belt. You must install the car seat in a seating
location in your vehicle that has an acceptable vehicle seat belt.
⚠WARNING⚠
Death or Serious Injury Can Occur
DO NOT place rear-facing child seat on front
seat with air bag. DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY
can occur. The back seat is the safest place for
children 12 and under.
The Orbit Baby Infant Car Seat G2 is certified for use with or without the
Orbit Baby Car Seat Base G2.
According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained
in the rear seating position than in the front seating position of a vehicle.
If you are not sure where to install this car seat in your vehicle, refer to your vehicle
owner’s manual for seating locations recommended for car seat use and for specific
instructions about child restraint use, or contact the vehicle manufacturer for guidance.
