When unoccupied the rear-facing child restraint must be fi rmly
secured to the vehicle with a lower universal anchorage system
if available or with a vehicle seat belt. The tether strap must be
stored as described in the instruction manual.
When unoccupied, the forward-facing child restraint must be
fi rmly secured to the vehicle with a lower universal anchorage
system if available or with a vehicle seat belt and the tether
strap.
When unoccupied, the booster seat must be fi rmly secured to
the vehicle with the vehicle’s seat belt only. The lower universal
anchorage system and tether strap must be stored as described
in the instruction manual.
In a crash or sudden stop, an unsecured child restraint or booster
seat could injure the driver or other occupants in the vehicle.
Always check vehicle owner’s manual for proper use of vehicle
seat belts and the universal anchorage system (UAS) with your
child restraint.
In very few vehicles, the child restraint and booster seat cannot
be properly installed because of the type of seat belt system,
airbag system and/or lack of location to anchor the tether strap.
Always read and follow the vehicle owner’s manual instructions
for child restraint use.
Vehicle Seating Position
Never install a rear-facing child restraint in the front
seat of a vehicle equipped with an active passenger
side frontal airbag.
Always check vehicle owner’s manual for child restraint and
booster seat use with side airbags.
For vehicles with no rear seats, check the vehicle owner’s
manual for location and installation of a child restraint and
booster seat.
Use the child restraint or booster seat only on
vehicle seats that face forward.
Do not use on seats that face the sides or rear of
the vehicle.
For vehicles with an airbag, but without a back
seat, refer to your vehicle owner’s manual.
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 Department.
Children are safer when properly
restrained in rear seating positions
than in front seating positions.
According to accident statistics, children in rear seating posi-
tions are statistically safer, whether you have airbags, advanced
airbags, or no airbags at all.
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 re-
straint.
To help protect your vehicle seat’s upholstery from damage, use a
single layer towel underneath and behind child restraint.
Transport Canada Regulations
Transport Canada Road Safety Directorate regulates children’s
restraint systems under the Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems Safety
Regulations (RSSR).
The regulations require the manufacturer and/or importer to certify the
child restraint to the applicable safety standards and place specified
warnings and information on the labels fastened to each child restraint
and in this instruction manual.
Storing Child Restraint
To protect your child restraint, store in the house, not in the garage or
attic.
The hot and cold temperatures can harm the shell and/or the harness
system if stored for a long period of time.
