7.1 Overall Considerations for Selecting a Seating Location:
•
Please review your vehicle’s owner’s manual to determine the
best location for each Car Seat use mode, any specific
instructions for Car Seat installation, or to determine if any
locations are unsafe for Car Seat installation. If you do not have
the vehicle’s owner’s manual or the owner’s manual does not
address child Car Seat installation, please contact the vehicle
manufacturer to obtain this information before using the Car Seat.
•
Use a rear seat location whenever possible. Rear seating
locations have been shown to be statistically safer for children
than a front seating location.
• Only use a vehicle front seating location if specifically allowed
in vehicle’s owner’s manual and following all instructions in the
vehicle’s owner’s manual.
•
It is recommended that you use
the vehicle center rear seat location
when possible as this is the safest
location for the Car Seat.
•
Toddler Car Seat use - use a vehicle
seating location that has a Tether Anchor.
Installation with Top Tether is Required.
a. It is required to use the Top Tether provided with this
Car Seat when using the Toddler Car Seat Mode.
Installation of a Car Seat using the Top Tether can
make getting a secure installation easier and can
reduce the risk of injury in a crash. If a Tether Anchor
is not available, one MUST be installed to properly use
the Car Seat in the Toddler use mode.
b. The Car Seat may be installed without the Top Tether
in Booster use mode only.
