WARNING
Do not use a seatbelt extender. If
a seatbelt extender is used when
installing a child restraint system,
the seatbelt will not securely
hold the child restraint system.
Use of a seatbelt extender could
cause death or serious injury to
children or other passengers in
sudden braking, swerving, or
accidents...
WARNING
In a rollover crash, an unbelted
person is significantly more
likely to die than a person wearing
a seatbelt. You the driver and
all your passengers should fasten
the seatbelts before starting
to drive in order to minimize the
chance of serious injury or death...
