• Use only with children who weigh between 22 and 80 pounds
(10 and 36 kg) and whose height is 53 inches (134 cm) or less.
• 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.
• Secure this child restraint with the vehicle’s child restraint
anchorage system if available or with a vehicle belt.
• 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.
• 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.
• Use restraint forward facing only! The American Academy of
Pediatrics recommends forward facing only after one year old.
• This child restraint must not be used in the home, in boats, or
other non-certified applications.
• Secure this child restraint even when it is not occupied. In a
crash, an unsecured child restraint may injure vehicle occupants.
• Never route vehicle belt over child!
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• When using in vehicle with air bags, refer to the vehicle owner’s
manual for child restraint installation instructions and precautions.
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.
