rial with high heat insulation properties on the seat while using the heater; this might

propriate for the child’s weight and
height and properly fit in the vehicle. For a higher degree of safety: THE

try installing it in the rear seat to make surethere is a good fit. Because of the location of the seat belt buckles and the shape of theseat cushion, it may be difficult to securely
install some manufacturer’s child restraint
systems.
