SAFETY INFORMATION
including recommended expiration dates as well as the instructions in this
guide. Proper installation is key to maximizing your child's safety.
In seating positions and vehicles not equipped with LATCH, a LATCH
compatible child seat can be installed using the seat belt and a top tether
for added security. This is because all child seats are required to be
designed so that they can be secured with a lap belt or the lap part of a lap/
shoulder belt. In addition, the child seat manufacturer may advise that a
seat belt be used to attach a LATCH-compatible seat once a child reaches a
specified weight. Please read the child seat owner's manual for proper
installation instructions.
Important considerations when selecting a child seat
Make sure the child seat meets the following three requirements:
• The child seat is the correct type and size for the child.
• The child seat is the correct type for the seating position.
• The child seat is compliant with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
213 or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.
