Selecting A Suitable Location For The Car Seat - Graco 8482 Owner's Manual

4. Selecting a Suitable
Location for the Car Seat
Following are some basic recommendations for
both use modes of the car seat. See section 5,
"Use of the Car Seat with the Built-in Harness"
(page 16) for more information about a safe
location for the car seat in that mode.
According to accident statistics, children are safer
when properly restrained in rear vehicle seating
positions, rather than front seating positions. For a
vehicle with a front passenger air bag, refer to
your vehicle owner's manual as well as these
instructions for car seat installation.
We recommend that,
whenever possible, you
secure the car seat in the
center position of the
seat directly behind the front seats . However,
this position is often only equipped with a lap belt
and cannot be used when this car seat is used
without the built-in harness.
If you want to use the tether, locate a seating
position equipped with tether anchors. If your
vehicle does not have a tether anchor, it may
be possible to install one. Contact your vehicle
dealership for the proper anchor location and
installation. A tether anchor parts kit may be
purchased by calling Graco Customer Service
at 1-888-224-6549.
