VEHICLE INFORMATION
In the event there is no available back seat and / or you have no other option than to place a child other than
an infant in a rear-facing car seat in a front passenger seating position, the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) recommends that you take the following steps:
• Ensure the child is properly restrained according to their age and size.
• Move the seat as far back as possible.
• Make sure the child is not leaning out of position, such as leaning forward into the deployment path of
the airbag.
• Set the airbag ON-OFF switch, if available, to the OFF position.
WARNING!
• NEVER place this child restraint rear-facing in a vehicle seating location that
has an active front airbag. DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur
.
• Failure to place the child restraint in the correct seating positions increases
the risk of serious injury or death
.
• The back seat is the safest place for children 12 and under
.
Owners of
vehicles with airbags should refer to their owner’s manual for child restraint
installation instructions
.
• The VEHICLE seat must face forward
.
• Some vehicles have specific requirements for where the car seat can be
installed, so be sure to check your vehicle owner’s manual for available
seating positions, if any.
• NEVER place the child restraint on any vehicle seat that does not lock
.
Folding seats can fall forward and could cause serious injury to your child
in a vehicle crash
