Read this Owner’s Manual completely BEFORE first
use of your booster seat!
Always keep this Owner’s Manual with the booster
seat. Provisions are made on the bottom of the seat
shell. Plan to spend some time getting to know your
booster seat — time well spent when you consider that
your baby’s safety depends on it. Pay special attention
to the warnings.
Before continuing, please locate your vehicle owner’s
manual. You may need to refer to it as part of these
instructions.
Booster seats are designed to give protection to your
child in the event of a sudden stop or crash. No booster
seat can guarantee absolute protection from injury in
the event of a crash, but their use reduces the risks.
Countries differ in their laws and recommendations for
safe child restraint use. For further advise contact your
local law enforcement officers or your vehicle supplier.
