Vehicle Seating Position; Installation In Vehicle; Child Restraint And Booster Seat Use - Safety 1st Alpha Omega Elite 65 Instructions Manual

Failure to read, understand and follow the
instructions and warnings in this instruction
manual and the warnings on the system could
result in serious injury or death to the child.
B-1 Vehicle Seating Position
Never install a rear-facing child
restraint in the front seat of a vehicle
equipped with an active passenger side
frontal airbag.
Always check vehicle owner's manual for child
restraint and booster seat use with side airbags.
For vehicles with no rear seats, check the
vehicle owner's manual for location and
installation of a child restraint and booster seat.
B-2 Installation in Vehicle
Check the vehicle belt or UAS belt before each
use. Use only if the belt is tightened properly and
securely.
When unoccupied the rear-facing child
restraint must be firmly secured to the vehicle
with a lower universal anchorage system if
available or with a vehicle seat belt. The tether
strap must be stored as described in the
instruction manual.
When unoccupied, the forward-facing child
restraint must be firmly secured to the vehicle
with a lower universal anchorage system if
available or with a vehicle seat belt and the
tether strap.

When unoccupied, the booster seat must
be firmly secured to the vehicle with the
vehicle's seat belt only. The lower universal
anchorage system and tether strap must be
stored as described in the instruction
manual.
In a crash or sudden stop, an unsecured
child restraint or booster seat could injure the
driver or other occupants in the vehicle.
Always check vehicle owner's manual for
proper use of vehicle seat belts and the
universal anchorage system (UAS) with your
child restraint.
In very few vehicles, the child restraint and
booster seat cannot be properly installed
because of the type of seat belt system,
airbag system and/or lack of location to
anchor the tether strap. Always read and
follow the vehicle owner's manual
instructions for child restraint use.
B-3 Child Restraint and Booster Seat Use
Do not use a child restraint or booster seat
that has been in a crash or a collision. The
system must be replaced.
Do not use a child restraint or booster seat if
you do not know the history of the restraint.
Never take your child out of the child restraint
or booster seat or attend to the child's needs
while the vehicle is moving.
Never leave child unattended in the child
restraint or booster seat.
