•
Use only in a rear-facing position when using restraint with an
infant weighing less than 22 pounds (10 kg).
•
Based on crash statistics, the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration recommends that parents select the rear seat as
the safest location for a properly installed child restraint. Please
study the section on Vehicle Safety Belts in this booklet to
ensure the child’s safety. If in doubt about installing the child
restraint, consult the vehicle owner’s manual.
Use only with children who weigh between 5 and 65 pounds
(2.3 and 29 kg) and whose height is 49 inches (124 cm) or less.
Rear facing 5–33 pounds (2.3–15 kg) and forward facing
maximum 65 pounds (29 kg).
•
•
Secure this child restraint even when it is not occupied. In a
crash, an unsecured child restraint may injure vehicle occupants.
•
Snugly adjust the belts provided with this child restraint around
your child. A snug strap should not allow any slack. It lies in a
relatively straight line without sagging. It does not press on the
child’s flesh or push the child’s body into an unnatural position.
When using in vehicle with air bags, refer to the vehicle owner’s
manual for child restraint installation instructions and
precautions.
•
•
Secure the top anchorage strap provided with this child restraint.
•
•
Restraint must be in the full upright position when installed in
forward facing mode with children over 33 pounds (15 kg).
Secure this child restraint with the vehicle’s child restraint
anchorage system if available or with a vehicle belt.
Never use the adjuster strap to lift or carry this child restraint. Doing
so could cause damage to the harness adjuster and webbing.
Always carry this child restraint by the shell or tether straps.
•
Follow all instructions on this child restraint and in the written
instructions located on lanyard, under cover in front of seat.
•
•
Register your child restraint with the manufacturer.
•
The primary protection for occupants of a vehicle in a collision
is the body of the vehicle itself; a child restraint will not protect
a child when the vehicle is seriously impacted. However,
correctly installed, a child restraint will substantially improve the
chances for survival in most crashes. Make sure that all users
fully understand the correct ways to use this child restraint in a
vehicle.
Use vehicle belt (not LATCH connectors) for installations with
children weighing more than 48 pounds (21 kg). Refer to the
vehicle owner’s manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer for
the maximum weight rating for their LATCH anchors. Unless
specified otherwise by the vehicle manufacturer, assume a 48-
pound child is the vehicle LATCH anchor limit.
• This child restraint must not be used in the home, in boats, or
other non-certified applications.

Do not leave children alone in a vehicle, even for a short time.

ble any part of the child restraint or change the way its harness or
the vehicle restraint belts are used.
Do not leave loose objects, e.g. books, bags, etc., in the back of a
vehicle. In the event of a sudden stop, loose objects will keep
moving, potentially causing serious injuries.
Do not leave folding vehicle seats unlatched. In the event of a
sudden stop, a loose seat back could prevent the child restraint
from protecting the child as well as it should.
WARNING! DO NOT place a child
restraint in the front seat of a vehicle with
a passenger air bag unless the air bag is
turned off. DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY
can occur. The back seat is the safest place
for children under 12.

Do not allow children to play with the child restraint.
Do not use anything to raise the restraint off the vehicle seat. In an

should.
