opriate child restraint
system must always be
used. This is required
by law in the U.S. and Canada.Child restraint systems specifically designedfor infants and small children are offered byseveral manufacturers.

turer’s statement of compliance on the boxand child restraint system itself.

ight and height, and
should properly fit your vehicle’s seat.For detailed information,
refer to the instruc-
tion manual accompanying the child restraintsystem.All children should be properly restrained ina restraint device that offers the maximumprotection for their size and age.Be sure to check local,
state, or provincial
