530C
Dear Parents,
Thank you for purchasing The First Years B530C Booster Seat.
We hope that it will make your child’s travel safer, easier,
and more pleasant.
We believe the
B530C is the easiest Booster Seat to use. We
do more testing than other companies to make it as safe as
possible. And, we use the latest methods to assure the
highest quality.
Only The First years monitors the molding of every key plastic
part. Our MoldTrac technology allows us to watch every part
as it is molded. In addition, we place a number on each seat
so key parts can be traced. You will find this number on the
bottom of your seat.
We have tried very hard to keep our instructions simple and
understandable. We apologize for beginning our instructions
with so many warnings but they are very important for you to
properly restrain your child. Read and understand all of the
instructions and warnings. The safety of your child depends
on it!
If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact
the The First Years Staff at 1-888-899-2229
