3. Important Safety Information  
No safety seat can guarantee protection from injury. However, proper use of  
this safety seat reduces the risk of serious injury or death to your child.  
3.1 About Your Child  
!
THIS SAFETY SEAT IS DESIGNED for use only by children who  
weigh 20 lbs. (9 kg) or less and whose height is 26 inches (66 cm) or less.  
Using this safety seat with a child who is heavier than 20 lbs. or more than  
26 inches in height may increase the risk of serious injury or death.  
!
SOME SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN, such as pre-term babies, may  
be at increased risk of suffering breathing or other difficulties while  
reclined in a safety seat. If your child has special needs, we recommend  
that you have your physician or hospital staff evaluate your child and  
recommend the proper safety seat or car bed before using this product.  
!
NEVER LEAVE YOUR CHILD UNATTENDED.

3.2 About Using this Safety Seat in Your Vehicle  
!
YOUR CHILD CAN BE INJURED in a vehicle even if you are not in  
a crash. Common events such as sudden braking and sharp turns can injure  
your child if the safety seat is not properly installed or if your child is not  
properly secured in the safety seat.  
!
THERE ARE MANY KINDS of vehicles, seat belt systems, and occupant  
protection systems. As a result, it is not possible for this manual to tell you  
everything you need to know about putting this safety seat in your vehicle.  
You must carefully follow the instructions provided by your vehicle  
manufacturer, in addition to the information in this manual.  
!
SOME VEHICLES do not have any safe location for this safety seat, and  
many vehicles have seat belt systems that must not be used with the safety  
seat because those systems will not safely hold the safety seat in place.  
Again, you must refer to both this manual and your vehicle owner’s manual  
for complete information.  
!
NEVER COMBINE another manufacturer’s base or safety seat with a  
Graco base or safety seat. Call Graco for additional or replacement items.  
!
THIS SAFETY SEAT conforms to all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle  
Safety Standards.  
!
THIS SAFETY SEAT is certified for use in Motor Vehicles and Aircraft.

3.3 A Warning About Air Bags  
!
NEVER PLACE THIS SAFETY SEAT IN A VEHICLE SEATING  
LOCATION THAT HAS AN AIR BAG. If an air bag inflates, it can hit  
the safety seat with great force and cause serious injury or death to your  
child. Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual for information about air  
bags and child safety seat installation.  
3.4 When the Safety Seat is Not Occupied  
!
PARTS OF THE SAFETY SEAT can become very hot if the seat is left  
in the sun. Contact with these parts can burn your child’s skin. Cover the  
safety seat with a blanket if it will be exposed to the sun, and always touch  
the surface of any metal or plastic part before putting your child in the  
safety seat.  
!
NEVER leave a safety seat or safety seat base unsecured in your vehicle.  
When you are not using the safety seat, either remove it or make sure that  
it is securely belted in the vehicle. An unsecured seat can be thrown around  
and may injure occupants in the event of a sharp turn, sudden stop or crash.  
!
DO NOT PLACE HEAVY OBJECTS on safety seat while in storage.  
Heavy objects may deform safety seat over a period of time.

3.5 About the Life and Condition of this Safety Seat  
!
REPLACE THE SAFETY SEAT AND BASE after an accident of any  
kind. An accident can cause damage to the safety seat and base that you  
cannot see.  
!
EVEN IF THE SAFETY SEAT AND BASE are not involved in an  
accident, stop using both and throw them away six years after the date  
of manufacture. The date of manufacture can be found on the serial label  
located on the underside of the safety seat or base.  
!
DO NOT MODIFY your safety seat or base or use any accessories or  
parts supplied by other manufacturers. Only make adjustments to the  
safety seat or base as recommended in these instructions.  
!
NEVER USE THE SAFETY SEAT OR BASE if it has damaged or  
missing parts. Do not use a cut, frayed or damaged safety seat harness  
or vehicle seat belt.

3.6 Warnings About Using the Safety Seat as a Carrier  
Infants can tip or slide the carrier by their movements or by pushing off other  
objects with their feet. If the carrier tips over, your child can suffocate. If the  
carrier is too upright, your infant’s head may drop forward and cause breathing  
problems. To avoid injury or death from suffocation, falls and other hazards:  
!
ALWAYS place carrier on a firm and level surface. Never place carrier  
on soft or plush surfaces that may allow carrier and infant to roll over.  
!
DO NOT place carrier near the edge of surfaces such as tables or  
counters. To prevent falls, stay within arm’s reach whenever carrier is  
not on floor/ground.  
!
ALWAYS use harness straps when child is in the carrier and NEVER  
LEAVE CHILD UNATTENDED.  
®
!
USE ONLY with strollers that are part of the Graco Travel System.  
!
BEFORE USING THE HANDLE to pick up or carry the safety seat,  
be sure the handle is locked in position so that it will not move  
unexpectedly.

DO NOT place carrier near a window where cords from blinds or drapes  
can strangle a child.  
!
DO NOT hang strings on or over the carrier.  
!
DO NOT place items with a string around a child’s neck, such as hood  
strings, pacifier cords, etc.

DO NOT attach strings to toys.

4. Selecting a Suitable Location for the Safety Seat  
Some seating positions in your vehicle may not be safe locations for  
this safety seat. In fact, some vehicles do not have any seating  
positions that can be used safely.  
Improper placement of the safety seat increases the risk of serious  
injury or death.  
Follow the instructions in this section and in your vehicle owner’s  
manual to select a location for the safety seat. If you are not sure  
where to place the safety seat in your vehicle, contact your vehicle  
manufacturer or Graco Children’s Products Inc., 1-888-224-6549.  
4.1 Consider These Basic Recommendations  
According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained  
in rear vehicle seating positions, rather than front seating positions.  
13  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
14  
We recommend that, whenever possible, you secure  
the safety seat in the center position of the seat  
Ê
Ë
directly behind the front seats . We also recommend  
Ê
that an adult ride in the rear seat to watch the child.  
If the driver is the only adult present, a child who  
must be closely watched may need to ride in  
the front seat, but should only do so if there is no  
passenger-side air bag and all of the other vehicle  
seat and seat belt requirements listed below are met.  
4.2 Be Sure Your Vehicle Seat Meets  
All of These Requirements  
!
NEVER PLACE THIS SAFETY SEAT IN A  
VEHICLE SEATING LOCATION THAT HAS  
AN AIR BAG . If an air bag inflates, it can hit  
Ë
the safety seat with great force and cause serious  
injury or death to your child. Refer to your  
vehicle owner’s manual for information about  
air bags and child safety seat installation.

ONLY use this safety seat on vehicle seats with  
seat backs that lock in an upright position. Do not  
use seats that can fold down without having to  
release a lock or latch of some kind. These seats  
can fly forward and strike the child in a sudden  
stop or crash.

or contact the vehicle manufacturer to make sure  
the vehicle manufacturer permits safety seat use in  
the location that you select.

4.3 Be Sure Your Vehicle Seat Belt is Safe to Use  
The vehicle seat belt must be designed to hold the safety seat tightly at ALL  
times. There are a variety of seat belt systems that are NOT safe for use with  
the safety seat because they will not hold the safety seat tightly at all times.  
We will first describe the seat belts that are not safe for use and then we will  
describe those that are safe for use. Pay careful attention to these systems;  
some of the seat belts that are NOT safe to use look very much like seat belts  
that are safe to use. If you are unsure, contact the vehicle manufacturer or call  
Graco at 1-888-224-6549.  
Many seat belt systems are NOT safe to use with child safety seats,  
even though they can easily be threaded through the safety seat.  
Carefully read this section for information on seat belt systems and  
refer to your vehicle owner's manual and any labels on your vehicle’s  
seat belt. You may need to have a special seat belt installed by your  
vehicle dealer before using the safety seat.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
A. Seat Belt Systems that are NOT Safe for Use  
with the Safety Seat  
DO NOT use the following types of vehicle belt systems with your safety  
seat. They will not hold the safety seat securely in place. The metal locking  
clip provided with this product will NOT make any of these seat belts safe.  
!
DO NOT use a lap belt that stays loose and can  
move until it locks in a crash or sudden stop . This  
Ê
belt has an Emergency Locking Retractor, E.L.R. It is  
often seen in combination with a motorized shoulder  
belt. Since these lap belts will loosen if pulled on  
slowly, the safety seat may shift to an unsafe position.  
This seat belt will NOT safely restrain the safety seat.  
However, you may be able to convert your E.L.R.  
belt to one that is safe to use. See your vehicle  
owner’s manual for more information or contact  
your vehicle manufacturer.  
Ê
Ë
!
DO NOT use a lap/shoulder combination belt where  
each strap has a retractor at one end and is attached  
to the latchplate at the other end of the belt . This  
Ë
seat belt will NOT safely restrain the safety seat.  
17  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Ê
Ë
Ì
!
DO NOT use a seat belt that is attached to the door  
in any way . This type of belt is designed to open  
Ê
with the door and automatically surround the passen-  
ger when the door is closed. This seat belt will NOT  
safely restrain the safety seat.  
!
DO NOT use a seat belt that is anchored forward  
of the seat crease . This seat belt will NOT safely  
restrain the safety seat.  
Ë
!
DO NOT use a shoulder belt that moves along a  
track to automatically surround the passenger when  
the door is closed . This seat belt will NOT safely  
Ì
restrain the safety seat.  
If you have one of the above seat belt systems, DO  
NOT use it to secure the safety seat. Look for a vehicle  
seat location that has a suitable seat belt (see the next  
section) or contact your vehicle manufacturer about  
installing a seat belt system that can be used to secure  
the safety seat.

8. Securing the Safety Seat/Base in Your Vehicle  
There are many kinds of vehicles, seat belts, and occupant protection systems.  
As a result, it is not possible for this manual to tell you everything you need  
to know about putting this safety seat in your vehicle. You must carefully  
follow the instructions provided by your vehicle manufacturer, in addition to  
the information in this manual. Before proceeding, be sure you have read and  
understood the section on safe and unsafe seat belt systems.  
Failure to properly secure the safety seat in a rear-facing position  
within the vehicle increases the child’s risk of serious injury or death in  
the event of a sharp turn, sudden stop or crash.  
Carefully follow these instructions and those in your vehicle owner’s  
manual to be sure your safety seat is properly located, positioned, and  
held tightly at all times.

Preparation and Initial Safety Checks  
1. Make sure vehicle is on level ground so that the  
Ê
level indicator, which is attached to the safety seat,  
can be used to properly recline the safety seat  
.
Ê
2. Make sure you have selected a suitable location  
for the safety seat as explained in section 4,  
“Selecting a Suitable Location for the Safety Seat”  
(page 13).  
3. Check again to be sure that the vehicle seat does  
not have an air bag, and that an adjacent seat’s air  
bag will not strike the safety seat.  
4. If a front passenger seat is used, slide the vehicle seat rearward as far as  
possible from the dashboard. If a rear seat is used, make sure the seat in  
front of it is moved forward enough and is upright enough to allow room  
for the safety seat.  
5. Be sure that the vehicle seat is locked in position and cannot swing  
freely down toward the child.

Properly Reclining the Safety Seat/Base  
For your child’s safety, it is important that your safety seat/base be properly  
reclined. Attached to the side of your safety seat is a level indicator to help  
properly recline the safety seat/base on the vehicle seat.  
Failure to properly recline the safety seat on the vehicle seat increases  
the risk of serious injury or death.  
If the safety seat is too upright, a child’s head may  
drop forward and cause breathing problems.  
If the safety seat is too reclined, a crash could put  
too much force on a child’s neck and shoulders.  
The safety seat must be properly reclined  
according to the following instructions.

Final Safety Checks  
15. If your child is already in the safety seat because you have been using  
it as a carrier, make sure child is secured with the harness according to  
section 7, “Securing Your Child in the Safety Seat/Carrier” (page 36).  
16. Make sure that the safety seat is properly secured by the vehicle seat  
belt system by performing the following test EVERY TIME YOU DRIVE  
WITH YOUR CHILD:  
PUSH DOWN AND SIDE TO SIDE on the  
Ì
top of the safety seat slowly but very firmly  
to make sure the vehicle seat belt does not  
lengthen at all and that the seat belt is fastened  
very, very tightly around the safety seat/base  
If you find that your safety seat easily rotates  
.
Ì
down or your vehicle seat belt slips or becomes  
loose, make sure you have followed steps 1-15  
correctly, or see section 4, “Selecting a Suitable  
Location for the Safety Seat” (page 13).

9. Using the Safety Seat in an Airplane  
!
This safety seat may be installed in an airplane  
the same way that it is installed in an automobile.  
Since airlines have some restrictions about the use  
of safety seats, notify the airline ahead of time  
that you intend to bring the seat on board.  
!
Again, for the safety of your child, use the safety seat in forward-facing  
aircraft seats only. Follow the flight attendant’s instructions about safety  
seat placement. Follow the installation instructions as previously described.  
!
Always be sure that the airplane seat belt is adjusted so that it tightly  
holds the safety seat in place at all times.
