|
The FreedomRideTMChild Safety Harness is certified for use in motor vehicles.
WARNING
Failure to follow all relevant instructions
as listed, can result in your child striking the vehicle's interior
during a sudden stop or impact.
IMPORTANT
The FreedomRideTM Child Safety Harness
is designed to be used in any motor vehicle whose seats have factory
installed seat belts of either the Lap or Shoulder/Lap combination
design.
CAUTION
Some vehicles have seat belts that do not stay tight during
normal driving, especially those of the Shoulder/Lap design (please
refer to your vehicle's owners' manual for additional information). If
you use these type of belts with your FreedomRideTM
Child Safety Harness, please use the locking clip provided with the
harness and follow the instructions in Step #10 (of these instructions).
While the FreedomRideTM Child Safety Harness is designed to be used in all seated motor vehicles
that have factory installed seat belts, you should be aware that,
according to accident statistics, children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating
positions. The safest position in a motor vehicle is in the center of
the rear seat.
The FreedomRideTM Child Safety Harness is designed to be used in a forward facing sitting
position. Place the child safety harness on your child before
restraining he or she in a motor vehicle or seat.
| Adjust
all belts that have been provided with the FreedomRide TM
Child Safety Harness firmly around your child. |
Be sure that all the child
safety harness belts are adjusted snugly as described in the following
instructions. Failure to follow these instructions can result in the
case of the belts being too tight , possible discomfort to your child,
or in the case of being too loose, serious injury to your child in the
event of a sudden stop or impact of the vehicle.
When securing the child in the
vehicle be sure that the seat is securely locked in place and that the
seat is back in it's full upright position.
The child safety harness is
designed so that the child must be placed in the vehicle seat in a
sitting position with the buttocks and back restrained firmly against
the seat and seat back , by the use of the factory installed seat belts
in a manner described in Step #8 (of these instructions).
| WARNING!
Do not restrain the child in a standing or kneeling position .
Do not use the FreedomRide TM
Child Safety Harness with any other child restraint device or
booster seat. |
Do not install more than one
child safety harness for each factory installed vehicle seat belt.

your vehicle or secure the harness in the vehicle with a seat belt, for
your immediate use as required.
