Installation In Vehicle; Vehicle Seating Position - Safety 1st Alpha Omega 65 Manuel De L'utilisateur

Installation in Vehicle

Check the vehicle belt or UAS belt before each use. Use
only if the belt is tightened properly and securely.
When unoccupied the rear-facing child restraint must be
fi rmly secured to the vehicle with a lower universal an-
chorage system if available or with a vehicle seat belt. The
tether strap must be stored as described in the instruction
manual.
When unoccupied, the forward-facing child restraint must
be fi rmly secured to the vehicle with a lower universal
anchorage system if available or with a vehicle seat belt
and the tether strap.
When unoccupied, the booster seat must be fi rmly secured
to the vehicle with the vehicle's seat belt only. The lower
universal anchorage system and tether strap must be
stored as described in the instruction manual.
In a crash or sudden stop, an unsecured child restraint or
booster seat could injure the driver or other occupants in
the vehicle.
Always check vehicle owner's manual for proper use of ve-
hicle seat belts and the universal anchorage system (UAS)
with your child restraint.
In very few vehicles, the child restraint and booster seat
cannot be properly installed because of the type of seat
belt system, airbag system and/or lack of location to
anchor the tether strap. Always read and follow the vehicle
owner's manual instructions for child restraint use.

Vehicle Seating Position

Never install a rear-facing child restraint in the front
seat of a vehicle equipped with an active passenger
side frontal airbag.
Always check vehicle owner's manual for child restraint and
booster seat use with side airbags.
For vehicles with no rear seats, check the vehicle owner's
manual for location and installation of a child restraint and
booster seat.
Use the child restraint or booster seat only on
vehicle seats that face forward.
Do not use on seats that face the sides or rear of
the vehicle.
For vehicles with an airbag, but without a back
seat, refer to your vehicle owner's manual.
If you are not sure where to place the child restraint in your vehicle,
consult your vehicle owner's manual or contact Dorel Juvenile Group
Consumer Care Department.
Children are safer when properly
restrained in rear seating positions
than in front seating positions.
According to accident statistics,
children in rear seating positions are
statistically safer, whether you have airbags, advanced airbags,
or no airbags at all.
To avoid your child being seriously burned, take the following
precautions:
1. Park in the shade or where sun does not directly hit the child
restraint.
2. Cover the child restraint with a sheet or blanket when not in use.
3. Check for hot seat and buckles before placing child in child restraint.
To help protect your vehicle seat's upholstery from damage, use a
single layer towel underneath and behind child restraint.
