WARNING!
In a collision, an unrestrained child can be-
come a projectile inside the vehicle. The force
required to hold even an infant on your lap
could become so great that you could not hold
the child, no matter how strong you are. The
child and others could be badly injured or
killed. Any child riding in your vehicle should
be in a proper restraint for the child’s size.
There are different sizes and types of restraints
for children from newborn size to the child
almost large enough for an adult safety belt.
Always check the child seat Owner’ s Manual to
make sure you have the correct seat for your
child. Carefully read and follow all the instruc-
tions and warnings in the child restraint Owner’s
Manual and on all the labels attached to the
child restraint.
Before buying any restraint system, make sure
that it has a label certifying that it meets all
applicable Safety Standards. Y ou should also
make sure that you can install it in the vehicle
where you will use it.
