LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint systems
do not offer sufficient protection for children
whose weight combine dwith th echild
restraint system is greater than 65 lbs (29 kg) and who are secured usingt hesafety belt
integrated in th echild restraint system. In the
even tofana ccident, achild mightn ot be
restrained correctly. This poses an increased
risk of injury or even fatal injury.
If th echild and th echild restraint system
together weigh moret han65l bs (29 kg), only
use LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint sys-
tem swith whicht hechild is also secured with
th ev ehicle seat belt.A lsos ecure th echild
restraint system with th eTop Tether belt,i f
available.
Always comply with th emanufacturer' sinstal-
latio nand operatin ginstructionsf or thechild
