Child-restraint Systems
Due to variations in the design of child-restraint systems, vehicle seats and seat
belts, all child-restraint systems may not fit all seating positions. Before purchasing
a child-restraint system, it should be tested in the specific vehicle seating position
(or positions) where it is intended to be used. If a previously purchased
child-restraint system does not fit, you may need to purchase a different one that
will.
