RWARNING
Once you have attached the safety seat,
test the seat before you place the child in
it. Tilt the seat from side to side. Also try
to tug the seat forward. Check to see if
the belt holds the seat in place. If the lap
belt is too loose, tighten it by moving the
locking clip, or put the safety seat in
another seat and test it again. If the safety
seat is not anchored properly, the risk of a
child being injured in a collision or
sudden stop greatly increases. Reclining
seatbacks should be in the most upright
position for use with child safety seats.
