BeforeYou Begin...
Thank you for choosing this car seat,referred to
throughout this manual as a child restraint.The DJG
family is committed to creating a child restraint with
the most comfort and convenience available today.
Remember,parents are a child’s first teachers and
examples.If you always buckle your seat belt,your
child will think it is the natural thing to do.Make it a
firm rule that the vehicle does not go until everyone is
buckled up. Make no exceptions.
No one can predict if use of a child restraint will
prevent injury or death in a particular crash.However,
combined with careful driving,proper use of a child
restraint can lower a child’s risk of injury or death in
most crashes.
Your child’s safety is worth the time it will take to read
and follow these instructions.After reading,if you still
have questions or have any problems with this child
restraint,please contact our Consumer Relations
