Child restraints could be recalled for safety reasons. You must reg-
ister this restraint to be reached in a recall. Send your name,

tion, call the U.S. Government's Auto Safety Hotline at

•
Verify that the child restraint is secure and that the harness is
properly adjusted around your child each time you use the
child restraint.
•
Adjust the harness to fit the clothes your child is wearing. The fit
for a child in winter clothes will differ from a child in summer
clothes.
•
Cover the child restraint if your vehicle is parked in direct
sunlight. Parts of the child restraint can become very hot and
burn the child.
•
Store the child restraint in a safe place when it is not being used.
Avoid placing heavy objects on top of it.
•
Discontinue use of a child restraint that is older than six years
or has been in a severe crash to prevent injury due to
deterioration or hidden damage.
•
Do not leave children alone in a vehicle, even for a short time.
•
Do not, except as described in this booklet, attempt to disassem-
ble any part of the child restraint or change the way its harness
or your vehicle restraint belts are used.
•
Do not leave loose objects, e.g. books, bags, etc., in the back of
your vehicle. In the event of a sudden stop, loose objects will
keep moving, potentially causing serious injuries.
•
Do not leave folding vehicle seats unlatched. In the event of a
sudden stop, a loose seat back could prevent the child restraint
from protecting your child as well as it should.
•
Do not allow children to play with the child restraint.
•
Do not use anything to raise the restraint off the vehicle seat. In
an accident, it could slide and be unable to protect your child as
well as it should.
