- ALWAYS secure your child with the safety harness when using this child car seat.
- Never leave your child unattended.
- Do not attempt to dismantle, modify or add to any part of the child car seat or change the way your vehicle seat belts are made or used.
- After an accident the child car seat should be replaced and the vehicle seat belts. Although they may look undamaged, they may not protect your child as well as they should.
- Do not place anything such as a towel or cushion under the child car seat. This could affect the performance of the child restraint system in an accident.
- Always make sure that the child car seat harness are correctly tensioned to ensure maximum protection for your child.

- The harness buckle has been designed to be released quickly in an emergency. IT IS NOT CHILD PROOF. More inquisitive children may learn to undo the buckle. Children should be told never to play with the harness buckle or any other part of the child car seat.
- It is important that the lap harness is worn low down, so that the pelvis of the child is firmly engaged.
