Not every seating location within a vehicle may be safe for the

installation of this Car Seat. In fact, some vehicles have no 

seating location that is safe for the installation of a Car Seat.  

Improper placement of this Car Seat within a vehicle will increase 

the risk of death or serious injury in a sudden stop or crash. 
See “Vehicle Seat Belts” section for more information on vehicle

seat belts.
Please follow the instructions in this manual and in your vehicle 

owner’s manual carefully to ensure proper location and installation 

of this Car Seat. If you are uncertain about the proper location of 

the Car Seat within the vehicle, call the Car Seat Group (a division 

of 5514 Km Corporation) at 1-855-422-4515 or log onto 

www.csg-canada.com for assistance before using this seat. You 

may also contact your vehicle manufacturer directly or through 

their dealer.

WARNING!

  • There are many different types of vehicles, vehicle seat belt 

    systems, or other occupant restraint systems in use today. 

    Accordingly, this manual can only give guidelines for proper 

    installation in your vehicle. In addition to this manual, you 

    must also read and understand the vehicle’s owner’s manual, 

    which should address use of child restraints. If your vehicle’s 

    owner’s manual does not address the installation of child 

    restraints, please contact your local vehicle dealer, or the 

    vehicle’s manufacturer to obtain this information before using 

    this Car Seat.
