You MUST read and understand ALL child restraint
related instructions and warnings in your vehicle
owner’s manual to correctly and safely use this
child restraint in your vehicle.

installed in a vehicle with the base. DO NOT install

bags, check your vehicle owner’s manual for child
restraint installation instructions.
According to accident statistics, children are
safer when properly restrained in the rear seating
positions than in the front seating positions.
Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual to determine
if the belts in your vehicle lock by switching the
seat belt’s retractor OR if they have a locking latch
plate that locks the vehicle’s seat belt so they will
hold the child restraint tightly without loosening.
