Installation in Vehicle
Check the vehicle belt or lower anchor belt before each
use. Use only if the belt is tightened properly and locked
securely in place.
This base should be securely belted in the vehicle even
when not in use. In a crash or sudden stop, an unse-
cured base or child restraint could injure occupants.
Do not use a base or child restraint that has been in a
crash. You must get a new base or child restraint.
On the top of the base there is a date of manufacture
label. Do not use this base more than 8 years after the
date of manufacture.
Vehicle Seating Position
Never place a child rear facing in a seating
position with an active frontal air bag.
Check the vehicle owner’s manual for more
information about air bag/child restraint use.
Use the child restraint only on
vehicle seats that face forward.
Do not use on seats that face the sides
or rear of the vehicle.
For vehicles without a back seat,
refer to your vehicle owner’s manual.
If you are not sure where to place the child
restraint in your vehicle, consult your vehicle owner’s manu-
al, contact Dorel Juvenile Group Consumer Care Department,
or visit your local Child Passenger Inspection Station. Go to
http://www.safercar.gov/cpsApp/cps/index.htm to find your
closest station.
Children are safer when properly restrained in rear
seating positions than in the
front seating positions.
According to National
Highway Traffi c Safety
Administration information, children in rear seating po-
sitions are statistically safer, whether you have air bags,
advanced air bags, or no air bags at all.
To avoid your child being seriously burned, take the
following precautions:
1.
Park in the shade or where sun does not directly hit the
child restraint.
2.
Cover the child restraint with a sheet or blanket when not
in use.
3.
Check for hot seat and buckles before placing child in
child restraint.
To help protect your vehicle seat’s upholstery from damage,
use a single layer towel underneath and behind the base.
