WARNING!
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE
FOLLOWING WARNINGS CAN RESULT IN
DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY TO YOUR
CHILD:
•
Use only with children who weigh between 4.5 and 35 pounds (2.0 and
15.9 kg) and whose height is between 13 and 29 inches (33 and 73.7 cm).
•
Snugly adjust the belts provided with this child restraint around your
child.
•
Secure this child restraint with a vehicle belt.
•
Follow all instructions on this child restraint and in the written
instructions located in the storage area on the front of the car bed.
•
Register your child restraint with the manufacturer.
•
Always position car bed (child restraint) with child’s head toward the
center of the vehicle.
•
Add-on child restraint systems should be securely belted to the vehicle,
even when they are not occupied, since in a crash an unsecured child
restraint system may injure other occupants.
•
When using the 3-point harness, make sure that the straps are snug. A
snug strap should not allow any slack. It lies in a relatively straight line
without sagging. It does not press on the child’s flesh or push the child’s
body into an unnatural position.
•
This child restraint conforms to all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety
standards. This Restraint is not Certified for Use on Aircraft.
•
Child restraints could be recalled for safety reasons. You must register
this restraint to be reached in a recall. Send your name, address, e-mail
address if available, and the restraint’s model number and manufacturing
date to P.O. Box 17152 Indianapolis, IN 46217 or call 1-317-409-0148. For
recall information, call the U.S. Government’s Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-
888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.NHTSA.gov.
•
According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating positions.
