WARNING
. Never use a belt that is twisted or reversed. In an accident, this can increase the risk or severity of injury to the child.
. Never place the shoulder belt under the child’ s arm or behind the child’ s back. If an accident occurs, this can increase the risk or severity of injury to the child.
. The seatbelt should fit snugly in order to provide full restraint. Loose fitting belts are not as effective in preventing or reducing injury.
. Place the lap belt as low as possible on the child’ s hips. A highpositioned lap belt will increase the risk of sliding under the lap belt and of the lap belt sliding up over the abdomen, and both can result in serious injury or death.

Make sure the child restraint system is securely attached. Otherwise it may cause death or serious injury to children or other passengers in sudden braking, swerving, or accidents.
. When installing a child restraint system using LATCH anchors with the rear seatbelt fastened, ensure that the rear seatbelt does not become caught in the child restraint system or the lower LATCH anchorages.
