Vehicle seat belt system MUST hold
child restraint securely. Not all vehicle
seat belts can be used with a child
restraint.
If vehicle seat belt does not hold child
restraint securely, read "Vehicle Seat
Belts" section. Never put a child
restraint in a front vehicle seat unless
recommended by vehicle owner's
manual. National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA) alerts
vehicle owners that according to
accident statistics, children are safer
in the back seat. For vehicles with air
bags, refer to vehicle owner's manual
for child restraint installation
information.
