WARNINGS - Prevent serious injury or death:
4
Failure to follow these instructions
and child restraint labels can result
in child striking the vehicle’s
interior during a sudden stop or
crash. Secure child restraint with
a vehicle seat belt or LATCH that is
properly routed as shown in this
manual.
Select a suitable location for the
child restraint in your vehicle.
Choose the correct mode of use for
the child restraint depending on
your child’s size. Infants less than
20 lbs. (9 kg) must use this child
restraint rear-facing. Serious
crippling injury or death can result
if infant faces front of vehicle. The
American Academy of Pediatrics
recommends that children should be
at least one year of age before
being positioned forward facing.
Vehicle seat belt system MUST hold
child restraint securely. Not all
vehicle seat belts can be used with
a child restraint.
If vehicle seat belt does not hold
child restraint securely, read
“Vehicle Seat Belts” section.
Never put a child restraint in a front
vehicle seat unless recommended
by vehicle owner’s manual.
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) alerts
vehicle owners that according to
accident statistics, children are safer
in the back seat. For vehicles with
air bags, refer to vehicle owner’s
manual for child restraint
installation information.

WARNINGS - Prevent serious injury or death (continued):
If child restraint is in a crash, it
must be replaced. DO NOT use it
again! A crash can cause unseen
damage and using it again could
result in serious injury or death.
DO NOT use child restraint if it is
damaged or missing parts.
DO NOT use accessories or parts
other than those provided by
Graco. Their use could alter the
performance of the child restraint.
Rear-facing child restraint must be
properly leveled:

breathing difficulties.
Insert the harness straps in the
proper slots for your child. Never
leave child unattended, even when
sleeping. Child may become tangled
in harness straps and suffocate or
strangle.
DO NOT remove LATCH system from
child restraint. If using vehicle seat
belt to secure child restraint, LATCH
connectors must be stored. (see
section “LATCH storage”)
Never attach two
LATCH connectors
to one vehicle lower
anchor point unless
specifically allowed
by the vehicle
manufacturer.
