Thank you for choosing this car seat,referred to throughout this manual as a child restraint.The DJG family is committed to creating a child restraint with the most comfort and convenience available today.
Remember, parents are a child’s first teachers and examples.If you always buckle your seat belt,your child will think it is the natural thing to do.Make it a firm rule that the vehicle does not go until everyone is buckled up. Make no exceptions.
No one can predict if use of a child restraint will prevent injury or death in a particular crash.However, combined with careful driving,proper use of a child restraint can lower a child’s risk of injury or death in most crashes.
Your child’s safety is worth the time it will take to read and follow these instructions. After reading, if you still have questions or have any problems with this child restraint,please contact our Consumer Relations Department at:
