Vehicle Seating Position

Check the vehicle owner's manual for more information
about air bag/child restraint use.
Use the child restraint only on vehicle seats that face for-
ward.
Do not use on seats that face the sides or
rear of the vehicle.
Use the center seating position if possible.
For vehicles without a back seat, refer to
your vehicle owner's manual.
If you are not sure where to place the child restraint in your vehicle,
consult your vehicle owner's manual, contact Dorel Juvenile Group
Consumer Care Department, or visit your local Child Passenger Inspec-
tion Station. Go to http://www.safercar.gov/cpsApp/cps/index.htm to
find your closest station.
Children are safer when properly
restrained in rear seating positions
than in the front seating positions.
According to National Highway
Traffi c Safety Administration in-
formation, children in rear seating
positions are statistically safer, whether you have air bags,
advanced air bags, or no air bags at all.
To avoid your child being seriously burned, take the following
precautions:
1. Park in the shade or where sun does not directly hit the child
restraint.
2. Cover the child restraint with a sheet or blanket when not in use.
3. Check for hot seat and buckles before placing child in child
restraint.
To help protect your vehicle seat's upholstery from damage, use a
single layer towel underneath and behind child restraint.
