Your vehicle’s features may be considerably different than 
those pictured here. Consult your vehicle owner’s manual to 
help identify your vehicle’s specific features and locations.

 D-1 

Understanding Your Vehicle

Anchor Brackets  

For Top Anchorage 
Strap (Tether)
(Forward Facing Only)

LATCH Anchors  

Located in the seat 
bight.

Airbags  

Consult your vehicle 
owner’s manual for 
all airbag locations.

Seat Bight

Vehicle Seat Belts  

Consult your vehicle 
owner’s manual for 
vehicle belt use.

Safety Tip:

To avoid your child being seriously burned, take 
the following precautions:

1. Park in the shade or where sun does not directly hit 
the child restraint.
2. Cover the child restraint with a sheet or blanket 
when not in use.
3. Check for hot child restraint and buckles before 
placing child in child restraint.

 D-2 

Vehicle Seating Position

Use the child restraint 
only on vehicle seats 
that face forward. Do not 
use on seats that face 
the sides or rear of the 
vehicle.

Some seating positions in your vehicle may not be safe for 
this child restraint. Some vehicles do not have a seating 
position that can be used safely with this child restraint. If 
you are not sure where to place the child restraint in your 
vehicle, consult your vehicle owner’s manual or contact 
Dorel Juvenile Group Consumer Relations Dept.

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

Safety Tip:

Children are safer 
when properly 
restrained in rear 
seating positions than 

in the front seating positions.

According to National Highway Traffic 
Safety Administration information, children 
in rear seating positions are statistically 
safer, whether you have airbags, advanced 
airbags, or no airbags at all.

To help protect your vehicle seat’s upholstery from damage, use 
a single layered towel underneath and behind child restraint.
