or passing along a booster seat. DO NOT USE A
SECOND-HAND BOOSTER SEAT or a booster seat
whose history you do not know.
!
To prevent injury due to deterioration, hidden damage,
etc., discontinue use of this booster seat after six
years. There is an expiry date for use of this booster
seat indicated on the underside of the booster seat
base. STOP USING THE BOOSTER SEAT AND THROW
IT AWAY after the date indicated. Please dispose of the
product in a way others cannot reuse it (e.g. use a dark
trash bag, do not sell to a thrift shop or in a garage
sale, etc.).
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) recommends keeping your child in a forward-
facing car seat with a harness until they reach the top
height or weight limit allowed by your car
seat's manufacturer. Once your child outgrows
the forward-facing car seat with a harness, it's
time to travel in a booster seat, but still in the
back seat. For more information, please visit
http://www.safercar.gov/parents/CarSeats.htm.
NHTSA and the U.S. Department of Transportation
recommends that children under the age of 13 years be
placed in the back seat of the vehicle and away from
active front airbags.
According to accident statistics, CHILDREN ARE SAFER
WHEN PROPERLY RESTRAINED IN REAR VEHICLE
SEATING POSITIONS THAN IN THE FRONT SEATING
POSITION.
Many local police and fire departments frequently hold
safety inspection events to ensure that booster seats are
properly installed. Please contact your local emergency
services department to see if and when they offer this
service.
