Registration and Safety Notices

 

Vehicle Seating Position

Never place a child rear-facing in a seating 
position with an active frontal air bag.
Check the vehicle owner’s manual for more 
information about air bag/child restraint use.
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. 
For vehicles without a back seat, refer to 
your vehicle owner’s manual.
Children are safer when properly restrained 
in rear seating positions than in the front 
seating positions.

According to accident statistics, children in rear seating 
positions are statistically safer, whether you have air bags, 
advanced air bags, or no air bags at all.

If you are not sure where to place the child restraint in your 
vehicle:

 consult your vehicle owner’s manual; contact Dorel 

Juvenile Group Consumer Care Department or visit your local 
Child Passenger Inspection Station. 
Go to http://www.safercar.gov/cpsApp/cps/index.htm to find your 
closest station. 

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 seat and buckles before placing child in child 

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