WARNING
Take Time to ReadThis User Guide
Carefully read and understand all instructions and warnings in
this User Guide. Your child’s safety depends on you knowing how to
setup, install and use this child restraint properly.
Before installing this restraint in a vehicle, be sure to also check the
vehicle owner’s manual for information on child restraint installation.
NEVER allow others to use this Child Restraint until they have
read and understood all instructions in this User Guide. For future
reference, keep this User Guide in storage door at rear of Base.
Make Sure Child FitsThis Restraint
ONLY USE this Child Restraint with children who weigh between
4 and 22 pounds (2 and 10 kg) and whose height is 30 inches
(76 cm) or less.
DO NOT use this child restraint if top of child’s head is less than 1
inch from top of restraint.
ONLY USE the Newborn Insert for infants who weigh between 4
and 11 pounds (2 and 5 kg).
DO NOT use Newborn Insert if child weighs more than 11 pounds.
WARNING
Secure Child Properly
Snugly adjust the harness around your child. A loose harness
could cause the child to be ejected in a sudden stop or crash,
resulting in serious injury or death.
NEVER use clothing or blankets that interfere with fastening or
tightening the harness. An unsecured child could be ejected in a
sudden stop or crash!
ALWAYS check to make sure buckle is securely latched. If buckle
separates, child could be killed or seriously injured.
NEVER leave child unattended.
ALWAYS keep child properly secured in harness whenever child
is in carrier.
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.
To keep child warm, place a blanket over child and restraint AFTER you
have properly secured child in harness.

WARNING
Install Restraint Correctly
NEVER place this Child Restraint in a
vehicle position that has a front airbag.
An infant in a rear-facing child restraint could
be killed by an airbag. Refer to vehicle
owner’s manual before installing this restraint
in a seating position with side airbags.
ALWAYS install rear-facing when using this Child Restraint in a
vehicle. Your child could be killed or seriously injured if you install this
restraint forward facing.
Install this Child Restraint in a rear vehicle seat if possible.
ONLY install this child restraint in forward facing vehicle seats.
NEVER install in rear facing or side facing vehicle seats.
NEVER use restraint in a vehicle seating position where it can not
be secured tightly. A loosely installed child restraint will not protect
your child in a crash.
WARNING
Install Restraint Correctly
ALWAYS secure this Child Restraint with the vehicle’s child
restraint anchorage system (LATCH) if available or with a vehicle belt.
BEFORE each use, ALWAYS check to make sure restraint is
tightly secured in the vehicle seat.
ALWAYS check for secure
attachment of carrier each time
you use this restraint. After latching
Carrier into Base, lift up on Carrier
to make sure that it is securely
attached to Base. Child could be
killed or seriously injured if Carrier
is not securely latched to Base.
NEVER travel with this Child Restraint unsecured in a vehicle,
even when it is unoccupied. An unsecured child restraint could injure
other occupants in a sudden stop or crash.
According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating positions rather than in the front seating
positions.
To ensure a correct installation of Child Restraint, you must follow
the step by step instructions in this User Guide.
