3.5 About this Safety Seat
• This Safety Seat is constructed of plastic that can deform over
time if left with any object in the seat while stored. DO NOT
leave heavy objects in the seat while not in use. DO NOT
store the seat in the trunk of your car with heavy objects on it
or with pressure on the seat from the trunk lid.
• Replace the Safety Seat and Base after an accident of
any kind. An accident, even a minor accident, can cause
undetectable damage to the Safety Seat or Base that may
cause the Seat or Base to fail in a subsequent accident. DO
NOT use the safety seat if it is damaged or broken.
• Discontinue use of the Safety Seat and Base after six (6) years
from the date of manufacture. The date of manufacture can
be found on the label located on the underside of the Safety

ensure that someone finding the seat will be unable to use it.
We suggest that you disable the seat by removing the pad and
harness and discarding the pieces at different times.
3.6 About use as a carrier
Never Leave Your Child Unattended, even if they are asleep.
Very often when you arrive at your destination you will find
that your child has fallen asleep in the Seat. Do not leave the

the carrier by their movements, kicking or grabbing on to their
surroundings. If the carrier tips over, your child can suffocate

owner’s manual for additional information and warnings about
Active Air bags, and supplemental restraints, and their proper use
with Safety Seats.

• Never leave the Safety Seat or Base unsecured in your

seat and or base from the vehicle or make sure that both are
securely belted to the vehicle according to these instructions.

Your child may suffer burns from hot plastic components.
Always check the seat for hot surfaces that may come into
contact with your child before placing your child in the seat.
We suggest that you cover the seat with a blanket or towel if
it will be subject to direct sunlight while you are away from the
