Para Instrucciones en Español, Llamar al: 1-800-233-5921
Child Requirements
Weight: 40 – 100 lbs (18 – 45.3 kg)
Height: 40 – 57 inches (101 – 145 cm)

Ears below the top of the

Failure to follow each of the following instructions can
result in your child striking the vehicle’s interior during
a sudden stop or crash, potentially resulting in serious
injury or death. These instructions and the instructions
in your vehicle owner’s manual must be followed care-
fully. If there is a conflict between the two, the vehicle
owner’s manual regarding booster seat installation must
be followed.
• NEVER leave child unattended.
• In addition to the height and weight requirements,
your child must be at least three years old to use this
booster seat. The American Academy of Pediatrics
recommends children not face the front of the vehicle
until they are at least one year old.
Location Warnings
• According to statistics, children are safer when
properly restrained in a rear seating position than in
the front seating position. Children under 13 should
ride in the back seat of the vehicle.
• Use this booster seat only on forward-facing vehicle
seats. DO NOT use this booster seat with vehicle seats
which face the rear or side of the vehicle.
• Use this booster seat only on vehicle seats with backs
that lock into place.
• DO NOT recline the vehicle seat back when using this
booster.
More children are killed every year as pas-
sengers in car crashes than by any other type
of injury. 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 (and the instructions that accom-
pany 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 rela-
tively 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. WARNING
•IMPORTANT NOTICE •
This child restraint conforms to Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard 213. No booster seat can guarantee
absolute protection from injury in every crash.
This booster seat is designed for use ONLY by children
who weigh between 40 and 100 lbs (18 and 45.3 kg)
and whose height is between 40 – 57 inches (101 – 145 cm)
and whose ears are below the top of the vehicle seat
headrest and who are at least three years old.

• Failure to adjust the seat belt snugly around your child
may result in your child striking the vehicle’s interior
during a sudden stop or crash. SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH MAY OCCUR.
Additional Warnings
• DO NOT use this booster seat if it has been involved in
an accident. It must be replaced.
• DO NOT use this booster seat if it is damaged or has
broken or missing parts.
• This booster seat must be securely belted to the
vehicle at all times. An unsecured booster seat may
injure someone during a sudden stop or crash.
• DO NOT attach additional padding, toys, or other
devices to the booster seat. Items not tested with the
booster seat could injure the child.
• In hot, sunny weather cover the seat with a light
colored blanket when you leave the vehicle. Always
check the seat for hot surfaces before putting a child
into the seat.
Location Warnings – cont.
• Some booster seats do not fit in all vehicles. If the
booster seat cannot be properly installed, DO NOT
use the booster seat. Consult your vehicle owner’s
manual, try a different seating location, or call Evenflo
at 1-800-233-5921 for further assistance.
Booster Seat Position Warnings
• DO NOT use this booster seat rear-facing.
• When using this booster seat, the headrest on the
vehicle seat that the child faces should be put in its
lowest position. The vehicle seat back that the child
faces must be fully padded and free of any hard
objects.
Air Bag Warnings
• DO NOT use this restraint in the front seat of a vehicle
equipped with an air bag. Air bags may cause seri-
ous injury or death to children under 13 years of age.
If your vehicle has 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.
Seat Belt Warnings
• DO NOT use this booster seat in a seating position
with vehicle with door-mounted seat belts.
• DO NOT use this booster seat 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 booster seat properly.
• When using this booster seat, NEVER use
a lap belt only. You MUST use vehicle
seat belts that have a lap/shoulder
combination.

WARNING WARNING
• Everyone rides buckled up or the vehicle does
not go. Make no exceptions for adults or children. If
someone unbuckles, stop the vehicle. Being firm and
consistent from the start will mean fewer discipline
problems as children get older. An unrestrained person
can be thrown into and injure other passengers.
• NEVER tend to a crying child’s needs while driving.
Never take a child out of a booster seat for comforting
while the vehicle is moving.
• DO NOT allow a child to have objects such as lollipops
or ice cream on a stick. These objects can injure the
child if the vehicle swerves or hits a bump.
• Put sharp or heavy items in the trunk. Anything loose
can be deadly in a crash.
• In cold weather a child may need an extra blanket for
warmth. Put the child in the booster seat and cover
both the belted child and the booster seat with a
blanket.
Safe Practices

This booster seat is NOT certified for aircraft use.
A belt-positioning booster seat requires the use of a
lap/shoulder belt system, which is not available on
aircraft.
• To help protect the vehicle upholstery, place a
towel beneath and behind the booster seat.
• Plastic parts may be wiped clean with mild soap and
water and dried with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive
cleaners or solvents.
• Take care not to damage any labels.
• The seat pad can be machine washed separately in
cold water, delicate cycle, tumble dry 10 – 15 minutes
on low heat.
• Never use booster seat without the seat pad.
