IN CERTAIN MOTOR VEHICLES, THE LOWER ANCHOR CONNECTOR ADJUSTER ASSEMBLY MAY INTERFERE WITH THE CONNECTION OF THE INFANT CARRIER TO THE BASE. ALSO, REGISTRATION CARDS WERE NOT PROVIDED WITH THE VIVA INFANT RESTRAINT SYSTEM OR THE SEPARATELY SOLD BASES WHICH FAILS TO COMPLY WITH FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 213, CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS. |
