Child Safety Seat Warnings

WARNING: To ensure children are safely seated, follow all instructions provided in this guide and by the manufacturer of the child safety seat.

WARNING: Always check and adjust every child’s safety harness or seat belt for every trip.

WARNING: Avoid dressing the child in bulky clothing (such as thick or puffy coats) and do not place any objects between the child and the restraint system, as these practices could introduce slack to the restraints and reduce their effectiveness.

WARNING: Children should never be left unattended in the vehicle, even when secured in a child safety seat.

WARNING: According to collision statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats than in the front seat.

WARNING: Never use seat belt extenders on a seat belt that is being used to install a child safety seat or booster seat.

WARNING: Regularly inspect and check the installation of all child safety seats. Replace any seats or harnesses that show signs of wear.

WARNING: Never use a child safety seat that has been involved in a collision. Have the seat inspected or replaced as described in the child safety seat manufacturer’s instructions.
