warning
• 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 child restraint. Please study
the section on Vehicle Safety Belts in this booklet to ensure the
child’s safety. If in doubt about installing the child restraint, consult
the vehicle owner’s manual.
• Secure this child restraint even when it is not occupied. In a crash, an
unsecured child restraint may injure vehicle occupants.
• When using in vehicle with air bags, refer to the vehicle owner’s
manual for child restraint installation instructions and precautions.
• Never use the adjuster strap to lift or carry this child restraint. Doing
so could cause damage to the harness adjuster and webbing. Always
carry this child restraint by the shell or tether strap.
• The primary protection for occupants of a vehicle in a crash is the
structure of the vehicle; a child restraint will not protect a child when
the vehicle is seriously impacted. However, correctly installed, a child
restraint will substantially improve the chances for survival in most
crashes. Make sure that all users fully understand the correct ways to
use this child restraint in a vehicle.
• Stop use of a child restraint that is older than six years or has been
in a severe crash to prevent injury due to deterioration or hidden
damage.
