Based on crash statistics, the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) recommends that parents select the back
seat as the safest location for a properly installed child seat. Please
study the Vehicle Compatibility section on pages 10-11 to ensure
your child's safety and consult your vehicle owner's manual.

Secure this child seat even when it is not occupied. In a crash, an
unsecured child seat may injure vehicle occupants.
•
When using in a vehicle with air bags, refer to your vehicle owner's
manual for child seat installation instructions and precautions.

The primary protection for occupants of a vehicle in a collision is
the body of the vehicle itself. A child seat will not protect a child
when a vehicle is seriously impacted. However, correctly installed, a
child seat will substantially improve the chances for survival in most
crashes. Make sure all users fully understand the correct ways to use
this child seat in a vehicle.
