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

booster-seats

 to fi nd your closest station.

Check the vehicle belt or lower anchor belt 
before each use. Use only if the belt can be 
tightened properly and locked securely in place.

Even when unoccupied, this child restraint 

MUST

 be fi rmly secured to the vehicle with the 

lower anchor belt or with the vehicle seat belt. 

Even when unoccupied, this booster seat

 MUST

be fi rmly secured to the vehicle with the vehicle 
seat belt. 

In a crash or sudden stop, an unsecured child 
restraint or booster seat could injure occupants.

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

• Park in the shade or where the sun does not directly 

hit the car seat.

• Cover the car seat with a sheet or blanket when not 

in use.

• Check for hot seat and buckles before placing child in 

car seat.

To help protect your vehicle seat’s upholstery 
from damage: 

you may use an accessory approved by 

Dorel Juvenile Group or a single layer towel underneath 
and behind car seat.
