To help prevent serious injury or death:
• When using this restraint rear-facing, DO NOT loosen
the vehicle seat belt to provide more leg room, as this
may keep the child restraint from protecting the child.
• Fold-down armrests could pose a hazard to a
rear-facing child in certain types of collisions. Consult
your vehicle owner’s manual before installing any
rear-facing child restraint in front of a fold-down
armrest.
• NEVER turn a child restraint forward-facing with a
child who weighs less than 10 kg (22 lbs). Crash forces
may cause serious injury or death.
• DO NOT use the tether strap when the child restraint
is in the rear-facing position.
• The headrest on the vehicle seat that the child faces
when sitting in the rear-facing mode should be placed
in the lowest position. The vehicle seat back that the
child faces must be fully padded and free of any hard
objects.
• The Anti-rebound Bar is REQUIRED for REAR-FACING
use in Canada.
• IMPORTANT: Infants may have difficulty breathing
when in an upright seated position. Make sure they
recline enough for their head to lie back comfortably
and safely. Failure to properly recline the child restraint
could increase the child’s risk of serious injury or
death.
