Installation in Vehicle

Check the vehicle belt or LATCH belt before

each use. Use only if the belt is tightened properly 
and securely.

This child restraint should be securely belted

sudden stop, an unsecured child restraint could 
injure occupants.

Do not use a child restraint that has been in a

crash. You must get a new child restraint.
