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 warnings 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.
