WARNING!
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur
Failure to follow all written instructions and product labels can result in death or

•DO NOT use this booster seat with any other backrest or cushions.
•To prevent injury due to product deterioration, DO NOT use this booster seat if it
has been involved in a severe accident or if it is older than six years.
•NEVER leave a child alone in a vehicle, even for a short time.
•ALWAYS secure this booster seat and all add-on child restraint systems using
vehicle seat belt or LATCH anchors even when not occupied. In a crash, an
unsecured child restraint can cause injury to other vehicle occupants.
•Except as described in this manual, DO NOT disassemble or modify any part of this
booster seat or vehicle seat belt.
•You MUST register your car seat with the manufacturer to be reached in the event
of a recall.
•DO NOT place anything under the booster seat to raise it o the vehicle seat.
•This restraint is not a toy. DO NOT let a child play with it.
•DO NOT leave folding vehicle seats unlatched. In the event of a sudden stop, a
loose seat back could prevent the booster seat from protecting the child as well as
it should.
•In the event of an accident, the vehicle body itself provides the most signicant
passenger protection. While a properly installed restraint will improve chances for
survival in most accidents, a booster seat will not protect a child if the vehicle is too
severely impacted.

harness restraint. Diono recommends that children remain in a 5-point harness
restraint up to the maximum weight or height allowed for that restraint.
• If the child will not keep the vehicle shoulder belt properly positioned at all times,
DO NOT use a booster seat. You must use a harnessed child restraint.

either the fully raised booster seat headrest or fully raised vehicle headrest.
