According to the U.S. National Highway Trafc Safety Administration
(NHTSA), car seats and boosters provide protection for infants and children
in a crash, yet car crashes are a leading cause of death for children.
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH, read this owner’s manual
and your vehicle owner’s manual before installing and using this child restraint.
Using a child restraint makes a big difference. By properly using this child
restraint and following these instructions, the instructions on the child restraint,
and the instructions that accompany your vehicle, you will greatly reduce the
risk of serious injury or death to your child from a crash. Do not be misled by the
commonly used term “safety seat”; no restraint system can prevent all injuries
in all crashes. Many properly restrained adults and children are injured in motor
vehicle crashes, including relatively minor crashes. A properly used child restraint
is the best way to minimize injuries to your child and to increase the chances for
your child’s survival in most crashes.
U.S. REGULATORY NOTICE

Standard 213.
CANADIAN REGULATORY NOTICE
(MODEL NUMBERS ENDING IN “C”)

Child Requirements
This child restraint is designed for use by children in rear-facing orientation
only. To use this child restraint properly, children MUST meet the size and age
requirements below. In addition, Eveno recommends consulting with your child’s
physician before allowing your child to transition from a rear-facing to forward-
facing child restraint.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends keeping children rear-
facing for as long as possible, until they reach the maximum height or weight
for their child restraint in rear-facing orientation.* Additionally, some states’
laws require children to be rear-facing until age 2. Accordingly, you will see this
guidance reected in the Child Requirements on the following pages. Please
review any applicable local, state or provincial laws related to child passenger
safety before installing and using this Car Seat.
!WARNING! DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur.

Child Requirements
WEIGHT: 1.4 to 15.8 kg (3 to 35 lbs)
HEIGHT: 40 to 81 cm (15.7 to 32 in.) and top of child’s
head is at least 25 mm (1 in.) below the top of the headrest
(see pg. 46).
IMPORTANT: Once your child exceeds any of the size
requirements above, you MUST discontinue use of this
child restraint.

Before using this child restraint for preterm or low birth weight infants, ensure
the Child Requirements are met and follow the guidelines in this section.
According to NHTSA, a properly installed Child Restraint reduces the risk of death
by over 70% for infants involved in crashes. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
(FMVSS) 213 establishes design and dynamic performance requirements for
Child Restraint systems. However, the standard has no minimum weight limit and
does not address the special medical needs of preterm or low birth weight infants.
To ensure that preterm and low birth weight infants are transported safely, the
guidelines published by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) in Pediatrics
2009;123:1424–1429 (reafrmed June 2018) must be followed.
Preterm and low birth weight infants are at additional risk of breathing difculties and
heart problems when placed in a Child Restraint. Eveno requires that the evaluation
recommended by the AAP be conducted for all infants born earlier than 37 weeks and
all newborn infants who weigh less than 2.26 kg (5 lbs) at birth before their rst car
trip to check for breathing difculties or heart rate problems when traveling in a rear-
Premature Infant Use
DO NOT use this or any other child restraint with a premature infant until after
consulting your infant's clinical team. Premature infants may have difculty
breathing when in a sitting position.
!WARNING! DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur.

facing Child Restraint. Newborn infants should NEVER travel in a forward-facing
Child Restraint.
The AAP recommends that appropriate hospital staff observe your infant in the
Child Restraint for a period of 90 to 120 minutes or the duration of travel, whichever
is longer. This period of observation must be performed with the infant properly
positioned as described in these instructions and with the Child Restraint placed at
an angle that is approved for use in the vehicle. The hospital staff will check for any
breathing difculties or heart rate problems. Your child’s pediatrician will let you know
if there are any special considerations for travel. The number of trips and the duration
of time the infant is seated in the Child Restraint should be minimized. A caregiver
should ride in the back seat to monitor the infant during travel.

for parents and medical professionals, at https://www.healthychildren.org/english/

Premature Infant Use

11
See "Securing the Child" on pgs. 115 - 127 and take note of the following:
• The Infant Insert is positioned in the car seat and is required for infants
between 1.4 - 2.7 kg (3 - 6 lbs).
• The Harness is positioned at or below the infant's shoulders. Remove
the harness covers to check for harness strap positioning. Harness covers
can be replaced after appropriate harness height is determined.
• There is no gap between the infant and the buckle. If there is a gap, insert
a small folded wash cloth between the buckle strap and the infant after the
child is fully harnessed.
• Chest clip is positioned at armpit level. Harness covers must be removed
if they push the chest clip down below armpit level.
• Harness must be snug.
• Your infant’s clinical team must approve of use and t. Discuss with
the clinical team whether your hospital plans to conduct an angle tolerance
test prior to discharge. See pgs. 9 - 10 for more details on this testing
recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics.

!WARNING! DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur.
General Warnings
• Failure to follow installation instructions could result in serious injury or death.
These instructions, the instructions in your vehicle owner’s manual, and the
instructions on your child restraint must be followed carefully. If there is a
conict between the two, the vehicle owner’s manual regarding child restraint
installation must be followed.
• Failure to follow the Child Requirements (pgs. 7 - 8) for use of this child restraint
could result in serious injury or death.
• This child restraint MUST ALWAYS face the rear of the vehicle. Serious injury
or death can occur.
• Child Restraints should be used only for travel. Potential adverse health effects
from excessive use of infant child restraints have been documented. You should
limit the time spent each day in a child restraint as much as possible. You must
NEVER use your child restraint as a sleeping environment. NEVER leave your
infant unattended in a child restraint in or out of the vehicle. NEVER place this
child restraint near the edges of counter tops, tables, other high surfaces, or
in shopping carts. The child’s movements can cause the child restraint to slide
and fall.
• NEVER place this child restraint on beds, sofas, or other soft surfaces. The
child restraint can roll over on soft surfaces and suffocate the child.

13
!WARNING! DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur.
• NEVER leave the child in this carrier when the harness straps are loose or
undone. Children have STRANGLED in loose or partially buckled harness
straps. Fully restrain the child even when the carrier is used outside the vehicle.
• Fall Hazard: The carrier can fall from the shopping cart.
Do not use on shopping cart.
• This child restraint MUST be securely belted to the
vehicle at all times, even when unoccupied. An unsecured
child restraint may injure someone if a crash occurs.
• DO NOT use child restraint if it is damaged, broken, or
missing parts.
• DO NOT use this restraint if it has been involved in a
crash. It must be replaced.
• NEVER use child restraint without the seat pad.
• DO NOT attach additional padding, toys or other devices not made by Eveno,
or described in these instructions, to the child restraint. Items not tested with
the child restraint could injure the child.
• Be sure the handle is rmly locked in Infant Carry Mode before lifting the child
restraint (see pg. 44).
• ALWAYS place the handle in the appropriate locked position when traveling in
a vehicle (see pg. 44).
General Warnings

14
• DO NOT place rear-facing child seat on front seat with air bag. DEATH OR
SERIOUS INJURY can occur. The back seat is the safest place for children 12
and under.
• DO NOT use this child restraint in the front seat of a vehicle equipped with an air
bag, unless the air bag has been deactivated. Interaction between a rear-facing
restraint and air bags may cause serious injury or death. Air bags may cause
• The Infant Insert (pg. 40) is required for children weighing between 1.4 - 2.7 kg
(3 - 6 lbs) and optional for children over 2.7 kg (6 lbs).
• In hot or sunny weather, ALWAYS check the areas of the child restraint that
may contact your child (e.g., buckle, buckle tongues, etc.) for hot areas before
placing him/her into the child restraint. The child could be burned. Cover the
child restraint with a light colored blanket when you leave the vehicle.
• In cold weather, DO NOT dress the child in bulky clothing like snowsuits if
the child is riding in a child restraint. Bulky coats/snowsuits make it difcult
to properly tighten the harness to the child, which may allow the child to be
ejected from the restraint during a crash. If necessary, place a blanket over the
harnessed child without interfering with the child restraint harness system.

an air bag, refer to your vehicle owner’s manual for child restraint installation.
• If the rear seat of your vehicle is equipped with side air bags, refer to the
following information for proper usage:
Vehicles built prior to the 2002 model year: DO NOT use this restraint in a
vehicle seating position equipped with a side air bag unless authorized by the
vehicle manufacturer.
Model year 2002 and newer vehicles: Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual
before placing this restraint in a seating position equipped with a side air
bag. DO NOT place any objects between the restraint and the side air bag, as
an expanding air bag may cause the items to strike your child.

16
!WARNING! DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur.
Location Warnings
• ALWAYS read and follow exactly the instructions that accompany your vehicle
and child restraint.
• ACCORDING TO ACCIDENT STATISTICS, children are safer when properly
restrained in a rear seating position than in a front seating position. Generally,
the center rear is safest and should be used if available. Children 12 and under
should ride in the back seat of the vehicle.
• If you are unable to use the center rear seating position and have to install this
child restraint directly behind a front vehicle seat, ensure that there is at least
38 mm (1.5 in) of space between any part of the child restraint and the vehicle
seat that is closest to the child’s head. This space may be necessary for the
child restraint to properly perform in certain types of crashes.
• ONLY use this child restraint on forward-facing vehicle seats. DO NOT use
on vehicle seats which face the rear or side.

17
!WARNING! DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur.
Location Warnings
• ONLY use this child restraint on vehicle seats with backs that lock into place.
• Some child restraints do not t all vehicles or all seating locations. There
are thousands of combinations of vehicle makes, models, child restraint
congurations, seat belt designs and seat cushion shapes. The easiest way
to determine whether your child restraint is suitable for a particular seating
position is to check for a tight installation. If the child restraint cannot be
properly installed, DO NOT use this child restraint. Consult vehicle owner’s
manual, try a different seating location, or call Eveno at 1-800-233-5921 (U.S.)
or 1-937-773-3971 (Canada).
• VEHICLE TYPES IN WHICH THIS RESTRAINT SYSTEM CAN NOT BE
USED: This child restraint is not to be used in vehicles that do not have vehicle
seat belts or UAS lower anchorages.
• NEVER use this child restraint on boats, low speed vehicles (LSV), all-terrain
vehicles (ATV), golf carts, or any other non-certied application.

18
!WARNING! DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur.
Seat Belt Warnings
Retractor
• ALWAYS read your vehicle owner’s manual to determine
what vehicle belts and retractors are used in your vehicle
belt. The vehicle belt MUST lock and MUST NOT loosen after
the seat belt is tightened.
• DO NOT use this child restraint if it moves more than 2.5 cm
(1 in.) side to side or front to back at the rear-facing belt path
on the child restraint. Serious injury or death may result from
poor installation. If you cannot tightly secure the child restraint,
try again or move it to another location.
• DO NOT use this child restraint in a seating position with door-
mounted seat belts.
• DO NOT use this child restraint in a vehicle with seat belts that
automatically move along the vehicle frame when the door is
opened. These seat belts will not hold a child restraint properly.

19
!WARNING! DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur.
Seat Belt Warnings
• DO NOT use this child restraint in a vehicle equipped with lap
belts that only lock during a sudden stop or crash (emergency
locking retractor – ELR). You must use a seating location with a
locking seat belt. Check your vehicle owner’s manual to see if you
have lap belts with ELRs.
• DO NOT use on vehicle seats with lap only belts when both
portions of the belt are positioned forward of the seat crease.
• DO NOT use with lap/shoulder belts with two retractors. If the
vehicle seat belts are not routed and fastened correctly, the child
restraint may not protect the child in a crash.
• DO NOT use with inatable seat belts.

20
!WARNING! DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur.
Seat Belt Warnings
• If the vehicle seat belts are not routed and fastened correctly, the child restraint
may not protect the child in a crash.
• Check your vehicle owner’s manual to determine how to lock your seat belt for
child restraint installation. The seat belt must be locked to properly secure the
child restraint.
• DO NOT allow the vehicle seat belt release button to touch the child restraint.
Accidental contact may cause the seat belt to release. If necessary, turn the
seat belt release button away from the child restraint or move the child restraint
to a different location.
• This child restraint must be securely belted to the vehicle, even when it is
unoccupied, since in a crash an unsecured child restraint system may injure
other occupants.
• Fold-down armrests could pose a hazard to a rear-facing child in certain types
of collisions. Consult your vehicle owner’s manual before installing any rear-
facing child restraint in front of a fold-down armrest.
• The headrest on the vehicle seat that the child faces should be placed in the
lowest position. The vehicle seat back that the child faces must be fully padded
and free of any hard objects.
