1.3About Airbags
!
With some child restraint systems, such as rear-facing infant seats, an
inflating airbag can strike the child restraint and kill or seriously injure
a child.
With regard to this car bed and airbags, our tests and investigations indicate
that an inflating airbag will not strike a properly installed car bed and result in
serious injury or death. Presently, Graco is not aware of any airbags that will
strike a properly installed car bed and injure a child. However, airbags offer no
benefit to children in car beds. Also, airbag designs are changing rapidly, and
it is impossible to say that new designs will not present a risk of injury or death
to a child in a car bed.
As a result, before placing the car bed in a seating location that has an airbag,
consider the following:
- Most rear seats do not have airbags, and according to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly restrained in rear vehicle seating
positions rather than front seating positions.
- Always follow the recommendations of your vehicle manufacturer. See your
vehicle owner’s manual and/or contact your vehicle manufacturer for more
information about using this car bed in a seating location that has an airbag.
- To avoid any possibility of injury from an inflating airbag, place the car bed
in a seating location that does not have one.
