Location Warnings
• ALWAYS read and follow exactly the instructions

center rear is safest and should be used if available.
Children 12 and under should ride in the back seat

position and have to install this child restraint

any part of the child restraint and the vehicle seat
that is closest to the child's head. This space may be
necessary for the child restraint to properly perform
in certain types of crashes.
