child car seat are located and installed so that
they are not liable, during everyday use of the
vehicle, to become trapped by a movable seat
or in a door of the vehicle.

the child will tire easily.

vehicle without the child in it, always ensure it is
correctly fitted using the vehicles seat belt and/

• When vehicle is fully occupied lighter
passengers should sit in the rear and heavier
ones in the front.
• If you have no option other than to put your
child car seat on a rear passenger seat next to
side airbags:
- consult with your vehicle manufacturer for
side airbag details. It may not be safe.
- make sure your child does not lean into the
area immediately around the airbag.
• Do not place any padding between the base
of the child car seat and the vehicle seat; it could
place the child's safety in jeopardy.
• Avoid winter clothing bundling - Bulky
clothing can lead

right out of the extra padding - and thus out of
the seat. Let the car warm up or cool down prior
to placing your child in there if possible. If your
child is cold, place a blanket over the top of the
harness.
In the event of an emergency it is important to
be able to release the child quickly.
