•Ensure all vehicle occupants are properly restrained before traveling. Unrestrained occupants can be thrown around and may be seriously injured or seriously injure other occupants in a sharp turn, sudden stop or crash.
•Do not leave loose objects, such as books, bags, etc., in the back of the vehicle. In the event of a sharp turn, sudden stop, or crash, loose objects can be thrown around and possibly cause serious injury to vehicle occupants.
•Cover the Booster Seat when the vehicle is parked in sunlight. Parts of a Booster Seat can become very hot if left in the sun. Contact with these parts can burn a child’s skin. Always check the surface of any metal or plastic parts before putting your child in the Booster Seat.
•To avoid strangulation, do not allow children to play with vehicle seat belts. If possible, move unused belts out of reach.
•Do not use anything to raise the Booster Seat off the vehicle seat such as a noodle or towel. In a sharp turn, sudden stop, or crash, the Booster Seat could slide and potentially cause serious injury.
