To use this child restraint in a forward facing position, in vehicles equipped with lap belts that do not lock except in a sudden stop or crash (emergency locking retractors), you must use a top tether strap. Check your vehicle owner’s manual to determine if your vehicle has emergency locking retractors. According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions, than in the front seating positions. Where possible, the center rear seating position is recommended. Always anchor the child restraint with the vehicle seat belt, even when not occupied. In a crash, an unrestrained child restraint may injure someone. In hot or sunny weather, always check the fabric and metal buckles for heat before putting a child into the seat. Do not use this restraint in any automobile position equipped with an airbag. Airbags can seriously injure or kill children under 13 years of age. When this restraint is used rear facing, do not place it in a seating position with a fold-down armrest. During an impact the movement of the armrest can cause serious injury or death to your infant. This child restraint must be installed by using the following instructions as well as the instructions in your vehicle owner’s manual. If there is a conflict between the two instructions, the vehicle owner’s manual, regarding child restraint installation, must be followed. “Child restrarnts could be recalled for safety reasons You must register this restraint to be reached in a recall.

Make no exceptions for adults or children. If someone unbuckles, stop thecar. Being firm andconsistent right from the start will mean fewer discipline problems as children get older. An unrestrained child or adult can be thrown into and injure other passengers, The two upright positions are for use forward facing with toddlers weighing between 20 and 40 Ibs. (mass 9 and 18 kg). (Figures B & C) If your child restraint has a vinyl pad, travel in sunny weather could be uncomfortable for your baby. Buy or make a fabric cover with holes for the harness. Also, cover the seat with a lightcolored blanket when you leave the car. This will keep the metal parts from getting too hot. Feel the seat before you put your baby back in it. l Never try to tend to a crying baby’s needs while driving. Never take a baby out of the child restraint for comforting while the car is moving. l Don’t allow a child in a car to have anything like a bottle, lollipop or ice cream on a stick.

(Figure E) USAGE This restraint meets FAA Inversion requirements for airplane use. Airplane installation is the same as automobile installation. Turn the top of the airplane seatbelt buckle away from the restraint for easy release and removal. SAFETY TIPS Everyone rides buckled up or the car doesn’t go. Make no exceptions for adults or children. If someone unbuckles, stop the car. Being firm andconsistent right from the start WIII mean fewer discipline problems as children get older. An unrestrained child or adult can be thrown into and injure other passengers. l l l l l l l The two upright positions are for use forward facing with toddlers weighing between 20 and 40 Ibs. (mass 9 and 18 kg). (Figures B 8 C) If your child restraint has a vinyl pad, travel in sunny weather could be uncomfortable for your baby. Buy or make a fabric cover with holes for the harness. Also, cover the seat with a lightcolored blanket when you leave the car. This will keep the metal parts from getting too hot. Feel the seat before you put your baby back in it. 3. The harness straps on the -Car Seat can be threaded through 3 slots in the backrest. The lowest two slots are for infants with the seat in the rear facing position only. When using the seat rear facing, the harness straps should be at shoulder height or lower. The upper slot must be used when the seat is in the forward facing position. (Figure F) Never try to tend to a crying baby’s needs while driving. Never take a baby out of the child restraint for comforting while the car is moving. Don’t allow a child in a car to have anything like a bottle, lollipop or ice cream on a stick. A bump or swerve could cause these objects to injure the child.
