1.0 Warnings to Parents and
Other Users
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.
Even if using this infant restraint seems easy to figure out on your own, it
is very important to READ THE OWNER’S MANUAL. 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 UAS.
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 UAS.
