  • Always properly restrain your child in the Child Restraint System.

  • Do not use an infant carrier or a child safety seat that "hooks" over a seatback, it may not provide adequate protection in an accident.

  • After an accident, have the system checked by a professional workshop. Kia recommends visiting an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
