SAFETY INFORMATION

1) About your Baby

1.1) This Safety Seat is designed and tested to accommodate a child of a
specific range of HEIGHT and WEIGHT. Using the Safety Seat for a
child whose weight or height is outside of these limits will increase the
risk of death or serious injury in the event of a crash. Please see the
Warning label on the Safety Seat located on the child's right side for
weight and height limits for your model. Also noted on manual cover.
1.2) Special needs children, such as pre-term babies, may suffer difficulties in
using this Safety Seat. The angle of recline in this Safety Seat may not be
appropriate for Special Needs babies. If your baby has special needs or
any breathing difficulties, please discuss vehicle Safety Seats with your
pediatrician, or other competent health care provider, to ensure the safety
of your baby.
1.3) Never leave your child unattended, even for a moment.
1.4) Do Not Dress your child in bulky clothing or other garments that will
hinder the harness from being snug around your baby and properly
latched between your child's legs.

2) About your vehicle

2.1) Proper installation of the Safety Seat in your vehicle and proper securing
of your child in the Safety Seat are essential to ensure the safety of your
child. Quick turns, sudden stops, or other maneuvers in avoiding a crash, as
well as a crash, can injure your child if not properly secured in the seat or
if the seat is not properly installed in the vehicle.
2.2) There are many different types of vehicles, seat belt systems, or other
occupant restraint systems in use today. Accordingly, this manual can
only give guidelines for proper installation in your vehicle. In addition to
this manual, you must also read and understand the vehicle owner's
manual, which should address use of child restraints. If your vehicle
owner's manual does not address the installation of child restraints, please
contact your local vehicle dealer, or the vehicle's manufacturer, to obtain
this information before using this Safety Seat.
2.3) Some vehicles do not have any safe location for this Safety Seat to be
installed. In addition, many vehicles do not have seat belt systems that
will adequately hold this Safety Seat in the required position. Please
refer to both this manual and your vehicle owner's manual for complete
information for proper safe installation of this Safety Seat.
2.4) Never combine this Safety Seat or Base with any other Safety Seat or
Base from any other manufacturer. If you are in need of an additional
Base, please contact your local dealer or Baby Trend, Inc. to obtain one.
