Vehicle Seating Position
Some seating positions in your vehicle may not be safe for
this child restraint. Some vehicles do not have a seating
position that can be used safely with this child restraint. If
you are not sure where to place the child restraint in your
vehicle, consult your vehicle owner’s manual or contact
Dorel Juvenile Group Consumer Relations Department.
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.
Children are safer when
properly restrained in
rear seating positions
than in the front seating
positions.
According to National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration information, children in rear
seating positions are statistically safer,
whether you have air bags, advanced air
bags, or no air bags at all.
