PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION  

BEFORE INSTALLING THIS CHILD RESTRAINT!

 

Always park on a level surface when installing a 
child restraint. 

 
The safest seating position is one that works  
best for your specific car seat, family and vehicle. 
When determining whether the MESA Rear-Facing 
Car Seat can be used with lower anchors in the 
rear center seating position, it is critical that you  
refer to your vehicle owner's instruction book. If 
the MESA does not install best in the rear center 
seating location, it is recommended to move to 
one of the outboard seating positions. 

Before installing this child restraint 
you must determine the method 
of installation and the best vehicle 
seating position for that method. 
This child restraint can be installed 
either using 

LATCH

 or the  

Vehicle Seat Belt
