Selecting a Vehicle Seat Location
8.2 Check that the Vehicle Seat Meets the Following
Requirements
• NEVER place this Car Seat in a vehicle seating location that has an
Active Frontal Air Bag! Active Air Bags inflate with great force! An
inflating Air Bag can strike a Car Seat with enough force to cause
death or serious injury to your child. If your vehicle is equipped with
a front passenger side Active Air bag, please refer to the vehicle’s
owner’s manual for additional information about Active Air bags and
child Car Seat installation.
• DO NOT use this Car Seat in a vehicle that has a vehicle seat back
that does not lock into place. A seat back that folds forward must have
a latch or locking mechanism to prevent it from flying
forward and striking the child in a sudden stop or accident.
• Please review your vehicle owner’s manual to determine the best
location for the Car Seat or to determine if any locations are unsafe for
Car Seat installation. If you do not have the vehicle owner’s manual
DO NOT place rear-facing child
seat on front seat with active
frontal air bag.
DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY can
occur. The back seat is the safest
place for children 12 and under.
WARNING
or the owner’s manual does not address child Car Seat installation,
please contact the vehicle manufacturer to obtain this information
before using this Car Seat.
VEHICLE SEAT BELT REQUIREMENTS

safe for use with the Car Seat. These systems may look safe but
their method of operation precludes their use with the Car Seat.
If you are unsure if the vehicle seat belt is safe for use with the
Car Seat, check the vehicle owner’s manual or contact the vehicle
manufacturer, or your vehicle dealer for additional information.
