More children are killed every year as passengers in
car crashes than by any other type of injury.
To reduce
the risk of
SERIOUS INJURY
or
DEATH
, read this owner’s
manual and your vehicle owner’s manual before installing and
using this child restraint. Using a child restraint makes a big
difference. By properly using this child restraint and following
these instructions (and the instructions that accompany your
vehicle), you will greatly reduce the risk of serious injury or
death to your child from a crash. Do not be misled by the
commonly used term “safety seat”; no restraint system can
prevent all injuries in all crashes. Many properly restrained
adults and children are injured in motor vehicle crashes,
including relatively minor crashes. A properly used child
restraint is the best way to minimize injuries to your child and
to increase the chances for your child’s survival in most crashes.
