No child restraint system can guarantee protection from injury in every
situation. However, proper use of the Orbit Infant System reduces the
risk of serious injury or death to your child. Your child’s safety depends
on you installing and using this child restraint system correctly every
time. This instruction manual guides you in detail through the following
seven steps:
1. Choose a suitable location in your vehicle.
An important overview
on what makes a seating location safe is in the “Be Safe” sections of
this manual. Some seating locations, such as those equipped with
air bags, may not be safe locations for this Infant Car Seat and Base.
Some seating locations may have vehicle seat belts that are not safe
to use with child restraints.
2. Properly secure the Base in the vehicle using the attached
LATCH Belt or by using a vehicle seat belt designed to restrain
a child restraint system.
Many seat belts are NOT safe to use
with child restraints, read your vehicle owner’s manual to be certain.
Read the sections in “Installing the Base” for speci
fi
c details about
properly securing the Base.
According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly restrained
in rear vehicle seating locations,
rather than front seating locations.
