safety of your child. Follow the accompanying instruction manuals
for these products and accessories carefully. Contact Orbit Baby
for replacement parts.
Do not allow any re-use of the car seat or car seat base after
a motor vehicle collision of any kind. A collision can cause
damage to the child restraint that you cannot see. Contact Orbit

Discontinue use of the car seat when your child grows beyond

As noted above, in addition to the weight and height
requirements, your child must also meet the shoulder and
harness requirements. As each child’s body is different,
proper fit is critical to ensure the safety of your child.
