• READ this Owner's Manual carefully before rst use, and keep it for future
reference.
• NEVER INSTALL or use this child restraint until you have read and
understand the instructions in this manual AND in your vehicle Owner's
Manual
. If there is a con ict between the two, the vehicle Owner's
Manual must be followed. FAILURE TO FOLLOW these instructions can result
in DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY of your child in a sharp turn, sudden stop,
or crash.
• DO NOT ALLOW others to install or use this child restraint unless they
understand how to correctly install and use it.
• ONLY PLACE this child restraint REAR FACING in a vehicle seating location
allowed by the vehicle manufacturer. Refer to your vehicle's Owner's
Manual
for information about vehicle seat belt systems, air bags, and
child restraint installations, to determine allowable seating positions.
• Not every location within a vehicle may be safe for the installation of this
child restraint. In fact, some vehicles have no seating position that is safe
for the installation of an Infant Car Seat. IMPROPER PLACEMENT of this
child restraint within a vehicle will increase the risk of death or serious
injury.
• Based on crash statistics, the National Highway Traf c Safety Administration
(NHTSA) recommends that parents select the REAR SEAT as the safest
location for a properly installed child restraint.
• The primary protection for occupants of a vehicle in a collision is the
structure of the vehicle itself; a child restraint will not protect a child when
the vehicle is seriously impacted. CORRECTLY USED, this child restraint will
substantially improve the chances for survival in most crashes.
WARNING!
