Vehicle Seating Positions
IMPORTANT:

The Chaperone infant carrier and

base have been tested to and exceed Federal

Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS 213).

Base overhang may occur and will vary from

one vehicle to another.

Vehicle Compatibility

WARNING!

Based on crash statistics, the National

Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)

recommends that parents select the back seat as

the safest location for a properly installed infant

carrier.

DO NOT place a rear-facing child seat on the front

seat with an air bag. DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY

can occur. See your vehicle owner’s manual for

infant carrier installation instructions. The back

seat is the safest place for children 12 and under.

This infant carrier must only be used in forward-facing vehicle seats.

Side-facing or rear-facing seats CANNOT be used. If in doubt about

installing the infant carrier, consult the vehicle owner’s manual.

Some vehicles have no seating positions which are compatible with this

infant carrier or any other infant carrier. If in doubt, contact the vehicle

manufacturer for assistance. See diagram below.
