Troubleshooting
Children are safer when properly
restrained in rear seating positions
than in the front seating positions.
According to accident statistics,
children in rear seating positions are statistically
safer, whether you have air bags, advanced air bags,
or no air bags at all.
If you are not sure where to place the child restraint
in your vehicle:
consult your vehicle owner’s manual;
contact Dorel Juvenile Group Consumer Care Depart-
ment; or for USA residents visit your local Child Passenger
Inspection Station. Go to http://www.safercar.gov/cpsApp/
cps/index.htm to find your closest station.
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
child restraint.
1. If the child restraint buckle or harness release
lever sticks or you cannot get the straps tight
enough around child:
DO NOT LUBRICATE.
Check around lever and
retractor for dropped food, sticky spilled drinks, dirt,
leaves, etc. Clean with warm water and/or remove
object with tweezers. If you cannot get the harness
to adjust and remain tight with the buckle securely
locked, do not use the child restraint.
2. If your harness twists:
Straighten the harness each time you put your child
in the child restraint to help prevent twisting. Lock the
buckle and tighten harness so it will be ready for next
use.
