Warning!

Children too big for a toddler restraint must

ride in seats using regular seat belts.

shoulder, not face or neck.

A booster seat may be necessary to achieve

proper belt positioning for children over

lap/shoulder belt fits properly without a

booster.

er’s instructions.

The child seat must be firmly attached to the

right and left side anchor.

An incorrectly mounted child seat may come

loose during an accident which could result

in serious injury or death to the child.

Damaged or impact damaged child seats or

child seat anchor fittings must be replaced.

Do not leave children unattended in the

vehicle, even if the children are secured in a

child restraint system.

Non-LATCH-type child seats may also be
