Never place a child rear facing in a 
seating position with an active frontal 
airbag. This can result in serious 
injury or death.

This child restraint must always face the rear 
of the vehicle.

Do not use LATCH along with the vehicle lap or 
lap/shoulder belt. Store LATCH when using the 
vehicle belts.
Check the vehicle belt before each use. Use 
only if the belt is tightened properly and 
securely.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in 
serious injury or death.
