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 injur y 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
