Tether Strap Warnings
Additional Warnings
WARNING!
DEATH or SERIOUS
INJURY can occur.
• In hot or sunny weather,
ALWAYS
check the areas of
the child restraint that may contact your child
(e.g., buckle, buckle tongues, etc.) for hot areas before
placing him/her into the child restraint. The child
could be burned. Cover the child restraint with a light
colored blanket when you leave the vehicle.
• This child restraint must be securely fastened to the
vehicle,
even when they are unoccupied
, using
the vehicle seat belts or lower anchor connectors.
An unsecured child restraint may injure someone if a
crash occurs.
•
DO NOT
use the cup holder to store cans or hard
cups. Only for use with soft cups
(such as styrofoam or paper).
•
DO NOT
place any cups that contain hot liquids in the
cup holder.
•
DO NOT
attach additional padding, toys, or other
devices not made by Evenflo or described in these
instructions for the child restraint. Items not tested
with the child restraint could injure the child.
Additional pads or pillows may interfere with the
function of the harness system, or cause breathing
problems if the child’s head falls forward, increasing
the risk of serious injury or death.
• In cold weather,
DO NOT
dress the child in bulky
clothing like snowsuits if the child is riding in a child
restraint. Bulky coats/snowsuits make it difficult to
properly tighten the harness to the child, which
may allow the child to be ejected from the restraint
during a crash. If necessary, place a blanket over the
harnessed child without interfering with the child
restraint harness system.
Safe Practices
•
Everyone rides buckled up or the vehicle does
not go.
Make no exceptions for adults or children. If
someone unbuckles, stop the vehicle. Being firm and
consistent from the start will mean fewer discipline
problems as children get older. An unrestrained person
can be thrown into and injure other passengers.
• Many safety advocates and healthcare professionals
recommend that children ride rear-facing for as long as
possible. See limitations recommended on rear-facing use
on page
•
NEVER
try to tend to a crying baby’s needs while driving.
NEVER
take a baby out of a child restraint for comforting
while the vehicle is moving.
•
DO NOT
allow a child in a vehicle to have objects such as
lollipops or ice cream on a stick. The object can injure the
child if the vehicle swerves or hits a bump.
•
DO NOT
feed an infant who is riding in a child restraint.
• Put sharp or heavy items in the trunk. Anything loose can
be deadly in a crash.
