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 car seat in 
your vehicle:

• Consult your vehicle owner’s manual; 

OR

• 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 
fi nd your closest station.
