SEAT BELT WARNINGS
1.
CAUTION: It is important for the child to sit properly within the vehicle seat belts. When
the vehicle belt is buckled, the lap belt should be low on the hips, just touching the thighs,
and the shoulder belt should lie across the middle of the shoulder. If the child leans out or
moves the belt behind the back or places it under the arm, it will not provide the intended
restraint.
2.
If the vehicle seat belts are not routed and fastened correctly, the child restraint may not
protect the child in a crash.
3.
DO NOT allow the seat belt release button to touch the child restraint. Accidental contact
may cause the seat belt to release. If necessary, turn the seat belt release button away
from the child restraint or move the child restraint to a different location.
4.
Failure to adjust the vehicle seat belts snugly around the child may result in the child
striking the vehicle's interior during a sudden stop or crash. Serious injury or death may
occur.
5.
ALWAYS pull the seat belt tight to make sure it is not twisted. NEVER twist the seat belt!
6.
When using this child restraint, NEVER use a lap belt only. You MUST use the vehicle seat
belts that have a lap/shoulder combination.
7.
A snug vehicle seat belt should not allow any slack. It lies in a relatively straight line
without sagging. It does not press on the child's flesh or push the child's body into an
unnatural position.
8.
The shoulder belt MUST be routed properly.
9.
The shoulder belt MUST NOT cross the child's neck or fall off the child's shoulder. If you
cannot adjust the shoulder belt to properly lay midway between the child's shoulder and
neck AND at or above the shoulder, try another seating location or do not use the child
restraint.
10.
NEVER use clothing or blankets that interfere with providing a properly tightened vehicle
seat belts. An unsecured or improperly fasten child can come out of the restraint during a
crash. Place blankets over child AFTER seat belts has been properly tightened.
