Thank you for choosing this car seat, referred to throughout 
this manual as a child restraint. The DJG family is committed 
to creating a child restraint with the most comfort and 
convenience available today.

Remember, parents are a child’s first teachers and examples. 
If you always buckle your seat belt, your child will think it is 
the natural thing to do. Make it a firm rule that the vehicle 
does not go until everyone is buckled up.  Make no exceptions.

No one can predict if use of a child restraint will prevent injury 
or death in a particular crash. However, combined with careful 
driving, proper use of a child restraint can lower a child’s risk 
of injury or death in most crashes.

Your child’s safety is worth the time it will take to read and 
follow these instructions.  After reading, if you still have 
questions or have any problems with this child restraint, 
please contact our Consumer Relations Department at:
