IMPORTANT NOTES
•
Verify that the child restraint is secure and that the harness is
properly adjusted around the child each time the child restraint is
used.
• Adjust the harness to fit the clothes the child is wearing. The fit for
a child in winter clothes will differ from a child in summer clothes.
• Cover the restraint when the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight. Parts
of the child restraint could become hot enough to burn the child.
• Store the child restraint in a safe place when it is not being used for
an extended period of time. Do not place heavy objects on top of it.
•
Stop use of a child restraint that is older than six years or has
been in a severe crash to prevent injury due to deterioration or
hidden damage.
• Do not leave children alone in a vehicle, even for a short time.
• Do not, except as described in this booklet, attempt to disassemble
any part of the child restraint or change the way its harness or the
vehicle belts are used.
• Do not leave loose objects, e.g. books, bags, etc., in the back of a
vehicle. In the event of a sudden stop, loose objects will keep
moving, potentially causing serious injuries.
• Do not leave folding vehicle seats unlatched. In the event of a
sudden stop, a loose seat back could prevent the child restraint
from protecting the child as well as it should.
• Do not allow children to play with the child restraint.
•
Do not hang accessories or toys from handle. Doing so could
create a hazard for the child.
This child restraint system conforms to all applicable Federal motor
vehicle safety standards. This restraint is certified for use in motor
