6.0 Selecting a Vehicle Seating Location
61 Overall Considerations for Selecting A .
Seating Location
• Please review your vehicle owner's manual to determine the best
location for each Car Seat use mode, any specific instructions for
Car Seat installation, or to determine if any locations are unsafe for
Car Seat installation. If you do not have the vehicle owner's manual
or the owner's manual does not address child car seat installation,
please contact the vehicle manufacturer to obtain this information
before using the Car Seat.
• Use rear vehicle seating position whenever possible. According to
accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in
rear vehicle seating positions, rather than front seating positions.
Whenever possible, this Car Seat should be secured in the rear
center, seating position. The rear center position sometimes is
equipped with a vehicle lap belt only and CANNOT be used when
this Car Seat is used as a booster seat WITHOUT the Built-in
Safety Harness.
• Only use a vehicle front seating location
if specifically allowed in vehicle owner's
manual and following all instructions in
the vehicle owner's manual.
• Use a vehicle seating location that has a tether anchor whenever
possible.
Installation with Top Tether is Recommended.
a. Sentry Baby requires using the Top Tether provided with this
car seat whenever possible. Installation of a car seat using
the Top Tether can make getting a secure installation easier
and can reduce the risk of injury in a crash.
b. The car seat may be installed without the Top Tether when a
vehicle tether anchor is not available.
