This car seat is for children: Rear-Facing: 1.8-22.5 kg (4-50 lb), 46-125 cm (18-49 in)
Forward-Facing: 10-30 kg (22-65 lb), 69-125 cm (27-49 in)
• Children less than 10 kg (22 lb) and cannot walk unassisted MUST use this car seat

Get to Know Your Car Seat
Review section 2-A to see all of the features of this car seat.
Which Installation Method Should I Use?
This car seat can be installed in your vehicle using either the vehicle seat belt OR the EZ TightTM Universal
Anchorage System (UAS). Both are equally safe to use. DO NOT USE BOTH AT THE SAME TIME.
Vehicle Seat Belt: Review section 8 and your vehicle owner’s manual to learn how to install your car
seat with the vehicle seat belts. UAS: The EZ TightTM UAS system allows you to securely attach your car
seat in your vehicle without using the vehicle seat belt and possibly to get a better fit. All 2003 and newer
model year vehicles are required to have a UAS system, although some manufacturers began including
UAS earlier. Some vehicle owner manuals use the term ISOFIX or LATCH to identify the UAS system.
According to collision statistics, the safest
place for your child in any vehicle is the
back seat. The centre of the back seat can
be the safest during a possible side impact.
NEVER place this child restraint rear-facing in a vehicle
seating location that has an active front air bag.
In the event there is no back seat, review your vehicle owner’s
manual to see how to use your child restraint rear-facing.

8
UAS consists of lower anchors and top tether anchors, which are built-in to your
vehicle, and connecting hooks that are built-in to your car seat. Lower anchors are
used INSTEAD of the vehicle’s seat belt to secure the child seat to the vehicle. Top
tethers are used IN ADDITION to the lower anchors OR the vehicle’s seat belt to
secure a forward-facing car seat to the vehicle.
Review your vehicle’s owner manual for exact location and use.

! NEVER PLACE THIS CHILD RESTRAINT REAR-FACING IN A VEHICLE
SEATING LOCATION THAT HAS AN ACTIVE FRONT AIR BAG.
If an air bag inflates, it can hit the child and car seat with great force and
cause serious injury or death to your child.
! Experts recommend that children ride rear-facing until the age of 2 or
until they reach the maximum rear-facing height or weight rating for
their seat, and when forward-facing, children should use the built-in
harness system for as long as possible until they reach the maximum
forward-facing weight or height for their car seat.
! Review your vehicle owner’s manual for more information about air bags
and car seat use.
! If your vehicle does not have a back seat, review your vehicle owner’s
manual.
