Thank you for choosing this child restraint. The DJG family is
committed to creating child restraints with the most comfort
and convenience available today.
Remember, parents are a child's first teachers and examples.
If you always buckle your seat belt, your child will think it is the
natural thing to do. Make it a firm rule that the vehicle does
not go until everyone is buckled up. Make no exceptions.
No one can predict if use of a child restraint will prevent
injury or death in a particular crash. However, when com-
bined with careful driving, proper use of a child restraint can
lower a child's risk of injury or death in most crashes.

restraint, please contact our Consumer Care Department:
