Thank you for choosing this car seat, referred to
throughout this manual as a child restraint, carrier and
base.The DJG family is committed to creating a child
restraint with the most comfort and convenience
available today.
Remember, parents are a child’s first teachers and
examples. If you always buckle your seat belt, your child
will think it is the natural thing to do. Make it a firm rule
that the vehicle does not go until everyone is buckled
up. Make no exceptions.
No one can predict if use of a child restraint will prevent
injury or death in a particular crash. However, combined
with careful driving, proper use of a child restraint can
lower a child’s risk of injury or death in most crashes.
Your child’s safety is worth the time it will take to read
and follow these instructions.After reading, if you still
have questions or have any problems with this child
restraint, please contact our Consumer Relations
Department at:
Before You Begin...
On the back of the carrier there is an expiration date
for use of this child restraint. Do not use this seat
after the expiration date.

Anchor bars
Vehicle Belts
If LATCH is not an

some vehicle belts that
will not work with a child
restraint or will require
special attention. See
next page for specific
instructions.
LATCH means Lower
Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren. Not all vehicles
manufactured before
September 2002 were
equipped with LATCH.
The LATCH system allows
a child restraint to be
secured in the vehicle
without using the vehicle
belt system and can ONLY
be used in vehicles that
have the anchor bars
installed.
Check your vehicle
owner’s manual to see
which seating positions
may be equipped with the
LATCH system.
The LATCH system can ONLY be used when installing
this child restraint rear-facing WITH the base.

Not all vehicle belts will work with this child restraint. You
must determine if your vehicles belts are compatible with
this child restraint. If you will use the LATCH system,
refer to the LATCH section.
ELR - Emergency Locking Retractor Belts
Definition:These belts only lock in a sudden stop or crash.
To see if you have this type of belt, pull on the lap belt, let
it return part way, then pull on it again. If it moves freely, it
is an ELR belt and the child restraint could work loose
during normal driving. Refer to your vehicle owner’s
manual.
Some ELR belts will convert to Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR) belts if you pull the belt all the way out.
Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual.
ELR shoulder belts either require a locking clip or used
only with the lock off on the base. It cannot be used when
installing without the base.
ELR lap-only belts must be replaced with a manual belt;
contact your vehicle dealer. A locking clip will not correct
this problem.
Automatic/Passive vehicle seat belts
An automatic (passive) 2-point belt has no lap belt.You
must install a lap belt to secure a child restraint.You may
also need to install an extra lap belt for an automatic 3-
point belt. Refer to the vehicle owner’s manual. A locking
clip will not correct this problem.
Vehicle belt too short
Contact your vehicle dealer for a seat belt extender.
Belts in center of the door or side panel (A) or
middle of the vehicle seat

Manual Belts
Manual lap belts are
common in the center
rear seat and can allow
the child restraint to
loosen when it is tilted or
jarred. After tightening the
lap belt securely, tilt and
push the child restraint
forward and to both sides.
If no loosening occurs,
your child restraint should

If loosening does occur, try
the following: If the buckle
plate slides on the belt,
turn the buckle plate over.
If the buckle slides, turn
the buckle. Refasten the
vehicle lap belt.The release
button should face out
after twisting so that it is
easy to reach in an
emergency.
If the lap belt continues to
loosen, the child restraint
must be moved to
another location in the
vehicle.A locking clip will
not correct this problem;
see your vehicle owner’s
manual.
