2.2 About Using this Car Seat

in Your Vehicle



YOUR CHILD CAN BE INJURED in a
vehicle even if you are not in a crash. Common
events such as sudden braking and sharp turns
can injure your child if the car seat is not
properly installed or if your child is not properly
secured in the car seat.



THERE ARE MANY KINDS OF VEHICLES,
seat belt systems 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.



SOME VEHICLES DO NOT HAVE ANY
safe location for this car seat, and many vehicles
have seat belt systems that must not be used with
the car seat because those systems will not safely
hold the car seat or your child in place. Refer to
sections 4 and 5.2, “Selecting a Suitable
Location for the Car Seat” (pages 13 & 19) and
to your vehicle owner’s manual for information.



THIS CHILD RESTRAINT conforms to all
applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards.
