5.3 Positioning and Securing
the Car Seat in Your Vehicle
Installation of your car seat varies depending
on the type of seat belt system you have in your
vehicle. Carefully review the following pages to
determine the proper installation requirements.
There are many kinds of vehicles, seat belts, and
occupant protection systems. As a result, it is not
possible for this manual to tell you everything
you need to know about putting this car seat in
your vehicle. You must carefully follow the
instructions provided by your vehicle manufacturer,
in addition to the information in this manual.
Before proceeding, be sure you have read and
understood the section on safe and unsafe vehicle
belt systems.
1. Make sure you have selected a suitable location
for the car seat as explained in sections 4 and
5.2, “Selecting a Suitable Location for the Car
Seat” (pages 13 & 19).
Failure to properly secure the car seat in the vehicle
increases the child’s risk of serious injury or death
in the event of a sharp turn, sudden stop or crash.
Carefully follow these instructions and those in your
vehicle owner’s manual to be sure your car seat is
properly located, positioned, and held tightly at all
times.
