place for children 12 and under.
WARNING

MISE EN GARDE
WARNINGS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
•DO NOT use this restraint in the front seat of a vehicle equipped with an air bag. Interaction
between a rear facing restraint and air bags may cause serious injury or death. If your vehicle
has an air bag, refer to the 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.

6
•READ this Owner’s Manual carefully before first
use, and keep it for future reference.
•FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS on this child
restraint and in the written instructions stored in
slot on the bottom of the infant carrier.
•NEVER install or use this child restraint until
you have read and understand the instructions
in this manual, the labels on your child restraint
and in your vehicle Owner’s Manual. If there is
a conflict between the two, the vehicle Owner’s
Manual must be followed. Failure to follow
these instructions can result in death or serious
injury of your child in a crash.
•DO NOT ALLOW others to install or use this
child restraint unless they understand how to
correctly install and use it.
•ONLY place this child restraint REAR FACING in
a vehicle seating location allowed by the vehicle
manufacturer. Refer to your vehicle's Owner’s
Manual for information about vehicle seat belt
systems, air bags, side air bags, front passenger
side air bags and child restraint installations, to
determine allowable seating positions.
•Not every location within a vehicle may be
safe for the installation of this child restraint.
In fact, some vehicles have no seating position
that is safe for the installation of an Infant Car
Seat. Improper placement of this child restraint
within a vehicle will increase the risk of death or
serious injury.
•ACCORDING TO CRASH STATISTICS, children
are safer when properly restrained in rear
vehicle seating positions, rather than in the
front seating positions.
•The primary protection for occupants of a
vehicle in a collision is the structure of the
vehicle itself. Correctly used, this child restraint
will substantially improve the chances for
survival in most crashes.
WARNING! DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur.

•WHEN USED INSIDE A VEHICLE
•ONLY USE with children who weigh between
4 and 35 lb (1.8 and 15.9 kg) AND whose height

infants who weigh less than 11 lbs (5kg) or
reach 3 months.
•SOME CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS,

increased risk of suering breathing or other
diculties in a child restraint. Please consult
a physician to determine what type of child
restraint should be used.
•DO NOT use this or any other child restraint
with a premature, low birth weight, or medically
fragile infant, until you have consulted with
your doctor. Some infants may have diculty

interfere with properly positioning or tightening
the harness.
WARNING! DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur.
!

•NEVER leave your child unattended or alone
in the vehicle, even for one minute.
•NEVER LEAVE CHILD UNATTENDED in or

Always check around the vehicle before
moving your vehicle.

position where the Load Leg, even in
its shortest position, causes the base to
be pushed up above the vehicle seat. If
necessary, the base may be installed with the
Load Leg folded up underneath it.
•If using a base, ALWAYS check to make sure
the Infant Carrier is securely attached to the
Base, each time you use this restraint. After
attaching the Infant Carrier to the base, lift up
on the Infant Carrier handle to make sure that
it is securely attached to the base.
•If using a base, ONLY USE with the Load Leg
Base for Idan.
•ALWAYS Use a Linear Side-impact Protection
(L.S.P.) (see page 62-63) device on the side of
the child restraint immediately adjacent to a
vehicle door or panel.
•NEVER extend a Linear Side-impact
Protection (L.S.P.) device toward a passenger
or another child restraint.

seating position where it cannot be secured
tightly. A loosely installed child restraint will
not protect your child in a crash.
WARNING! DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur.

folding mechanism unlocked. In the event of
a sudden stop, an unlocked vehicle seat back
could prevent this child restraint from protecting

surfaces before placing your child in the child
restraint. A hot surface could burn your child!
Cover an unoccupied child restraint with a

LINEAR SIDE-IMPACT
PROTECTION
(LSP) SYSTEM
A unique blocker arm,
combined with deep
side wings lined with
thick energy-absorbing
EPS foam and an
adjustable headrest
forms the Side Impact Protection System. This
system has been optimized to protect and greatly
reduce any forces on your baby in the event of a
side impact crash.
LOAD LEG
The European-style Load Leg
prevents the seat from rotating
forward, allowing the seat to
support the baby’s head, neck,
and body. It also transfers much
of the energy to the vehicle’s
floor, decreasing forces on your
baby up to 50%!
NO-RETHREAD
HARNESS
The no-rethread harness
adjusts the harness height
through eleven positions
without the need for
rethreading.
Super eaSy and TighT™
(SEAT) INSTALLATION
The GB Idan Belt Tensioner uses GB's SEAT
Technology to achieve a quick and secure
installation every time, whether you choose to
use LATCH or
vehicle belts.
