Important Notes

• Verify that the child seat is secure and the harness is properly
adjusted around the child each time the child seat is used.
• Adjust the harness to fit the clothes the child is wearing.
Remove bulky coats and/or jackets before putting the child
in the child seat.
• Cover the child seat when the vehicle is parked in direct
sunlight. Parts of the child seat could become hot enough to
burn a child.
• Store the child seat in a safe place when it is not being used.
Avoid placing heavy objects on top of the child seat.
• Do not leave children alone in a vehicle, even for a short
time.
• Do not, except as described in this booklet, attempt to
disassemble any part of the child seat or change the way its
harness or the vehicle's seat belts are used.
• Do not leave loose objects, e.g. books, bags, etc., in the back
of a vehicle. In the event of a sudden stop, loose objects will
keep moving, potentially causing serious injuries.
• Do not leave folding vehicle seats unlatched. In event of a
sudden stop, a loose seat back could cause the child seat not
to perform as intended.
• Do not allow children to play with this or any child seat.
• Do not use anything to raise the child seat off the vehicle seat
except as described in these instructions. In a crash, this could
cause the child seat not to perform as intended.
