2.3 When the Car Seat

is Not Occupied



NEVER LEAVE A CAR SEAT
UNSECURED IN YOUR VEHICLE.
When
you are not using the car seat, either remove it
or make sure that it is securely belted in the
vehicle. An unsecured car seat can be thrown
around and may injure occupants in the event of
a sharp turn, sudden stop or crash.



PARTS OF THE CAR SEAT CAN BECOME
VERY HOT
if the seat is left in the sun. Contact
with these parts can burn your child’s skin. Cover
the car seat with a blanket if it will be exposed to
the sun, and always touch the surface of any metal
or plastic parts before putting your child in the car
seat.



WHEN NOT USING THE CAR SEAT for
long periods, store it in a plastic bag in a cool,
dark, dry place.
