DO NOT PLACE THIS INFANT RESTRAINT IN
A VEHICLE SEATING LOCATION THAT HAS A
FRONT AIR BAG. If the air bag inflates, it can hit
the infant restraint with great force and cause
serious injury or death to your child. Check
vehicle owner’s manual for information about side
air bags and infant restraint installation.

No infant restraint can guarantee protection from injury in every situation.
However, proper use of this infant restraint reduces the risk of serious
injury or death to your child.
Failure to properly use this infant restraint increases the risk of serious
injury or death in a sharp turn, sudden stop or crash.
Your child’s safety depends on you installing and using this infant
restraint correctly.

The manual is located in the back pocket of the infant restraint.
You must also read your vehicle owner’s manual.
Your child’s safety depends on:
1. Choosing a suitable location in your vehicle. Some seating
positions, such as those equipped with air bags, may not be safe
locations for this infant restraint.
2. Inserting the harness straps in the proper slots for your child.
3. Properly securing your child in the infant restraint.
4. Placing infant restraint/base in a rear-facing position.
5. Properly routing the vehicle seat belt or LATCH.
6. Properly reclining the infant restraint.
7. Properly securing the infant restraint in the vehicle using a seat
belt designed to restrain an infant restraint or by using LATCH. Many
seat belts are NOT safe to use with infant restraints, even though they
can easily be threaded through the infant restraint!
