Vehicle Seating Position

Never place a child rear-facing in a seating
position with an active frontal air bag.
Check the vehicle owner's manual for more
information about air bag/child restraint use.
Use the child restraint only on vehicle seats that face
forward.
Do not use on seats that face the sides or rear of the
vehicle.
For vehicles without a back seat, refer to your vehicle owner's
manual.
Children are safer when properly restrained
in rear seating positions than in the front
seating positions.
According to accident statistics, children in rear seating positions are
statistically safer, whether you have air bags, advanced air bags, or
no air bags at all.
If you are not sure where to place the car seat in your vehicle: consult
your vehicle owner's manual, contact Dorel Juvenile Group Consumer Care
Department or visit your local Child Passenger Inspection Station.
To avoid your child being seriously burned, take the following
precautions:
• Park in the shade or where sun does not directly hit the car seat.
• Cover the car seat with a sheet or blanket when not in use.
• Check for hot seat and buckles before placing child in car seat.
To help protect your vehicle seat's upholstery from damage, use a single
layer towel underneath and behind car seat.

Transport Canada Regulations

Transport Canada Road Safety Directorate regulates children's restraint
systems under the Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems Safety Regulations
(RSSR). The regulations require the manufacturer and/or importer to certify
the restraint to the applicable safety standards and place specified
warnings and information on the labels fastened to each restraint and in
this instruction manual.

Registration and Safety Notices

manufacturer and tested by Transport Canada, it is possible that a
safety-related problem may be found. If there is ever a safety issue
with your child restraint, we use registration information to reach
owners.
Example of model number, line code, and manufacture date.
If you don't have the card or if your address changes,
you will find the model number, manufacture date, and
line code on the label located on the back of the shell.
