from the surface that the seat is on as well as from the pressure
on their chest from the safety harness. In addition, if the carrier
is placed too upright, the child's head can fall forward and cause
the child to have difficulty breathing. To avoid death or serious
injury from suffocation, falls and other hazards:
• Always place the carrier on a firm and level surface. Never
place the carrier on soft or plush surfaces such as a bed,
comforter, couch, sofa, chair, etc. The carrier has a very
high possibility of tipping over if placed on a soft or plush
surface.
• Fall hazard: Child's movements can slide carrier. Never place
the carrier near the edge of high surfaces such as tables,
counter tops, shelves, or other elevated surfaces. To prevent
falls, stay within arm's reach whenever the carrier is not on the
floor or ground.
• Child can strangle in loose safety harness straps. Never leave
child in carrier when straps are loose or undone. Always use
the safety harness as instructed in this manual when the child
is in the carrier.
• Before lifting the carrier with the handle, check that the handle
is firmly locked into position. The carrier will pivot about an
unlocked handle and can result in injury to your child.
• When using the carrier with a shopping cart, check that the
seat is firmly locked onto the shopping cart. If the carrier will
not firmly lock on always place the carrier into the interior of the
shopping cart.
