BEST PRACTICES |
|
• 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. |
|
• |
Never use a second-hand Booster Seat with an unknown history. |
|
• |
Never use any accessories that are not included with this child restraint, unless |
12 |
|
specifically approved by Chicco. For more information, go to www.chiccousa. |
