position equipped with an air bag.

Child’s head and neck may be

seriously injured when an inflating

air bag hits back of child restraint.

Never put a car seat in a front

vehicle seat unless recommended by

Highway Traffic Safety

Administration (NHTSA) alerts

vehicle owners that according to

accident statistics, children up to

age 12 are safer in the back seat.

For vehicles with air bags, refer to

vehicle owner’s manual for child

restraint installation information.

If car seat is in a crash, it must be

replaced. DO NOT use it again! A

crash can cause unseen damage and

using it again could result in serious

injury or death.

and car seat labels can result in child

striking the vehicle’s interior during

a sudden stop or accident. Secure
