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 Department at:

Safety Tip:
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.
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.
D-3 Knowing Your Vehicle Belts
Review your vehicle owner’s manual for vehicle seat belt use
with child restraints. This is your best source for information
concerning your vehicle.
Not all vehicle belts will work with this child restraint. This
child restraint must be tightly locked in place at all times
during travel. You must determine if your vehicle’s belts are
compatible with this child restraint. There are some vehicle
belts that will not work with a child restraint or will require
special attention.
To help protect your vehicle seat’s upholstery from damage,
use a single layered towel underneath and behind child
restraint.

Vehicle Belts

or side panel

another seating location. Consult your

Troubleshooting
1. If your child restraint is not held securely by the
vehicle belt:
Remove all the slack in the vehicle belt. Make sure the belt
buckle is not up against the child restraint where the belt
cannot be tightened. If you cannot secure the child restraint
tightly, move it to another seating location.
2. If the shoulder belt crosses the child’s neck when
using the child restraint:
Try moving the child restraint toward the center of the vehicle
or move the vehicle seat forward or back. Check to see if your
vehicle has adjustable shoulder belt anchor points.
Do not place the shoulder belt behind the child.
