WARNINGS + GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY CAN OCCUR According to accident statistics, children are statistically safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating positions, whether there are airbags, advanced airbags or no airbags at all. To ensure your child’s safety refer to approved seating positions on page 11 in this manual or your Vehicle’s Owner Manual.

WARNINGS + GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION NEVER place this Child Restraint on a front seat with an airbag. DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY can occur. An airbag can strike a rear-facing infant restraint with enough force to crack the shell and seriously injure or kill an infant. The back seat is the safest place for children 12 and under.
