DO NOT PLACE THIS INFANT RESTRAINT IN
A VEHICLE SEATING LOCATION THAT HAS A
FRONT AIR BAG. If the air bag inflates, it can hit
the infant restraint with great force and cause serious
injury or death of your child. Check vehicle owner’s
manual for information about side air bags and infant
restraint installation. No infant restraint can guarantee
protection from injury in every situation. However, proper use of this
infant restraint reduces the risk of serious injury or death to your child.
1.0 Warnings to Parents and Other Users

5
Failure to properly use this infant restraint increases the risk of serious
injury or death in a sharp turn, sudden stop or crash. Your child’s safety
depends on you installing and using this infant restraint correctly on
every ride.
Even if using this infant restraint seems easy to figure out on your own, it
is very important to FOLLOW THE OWNER’S MANUAL.
The manual is located in the base.
You also must read your vehicle owner’s manual.
Your child’s safety depends on:
1. Choosing a suitable location in your vehicle. Some seating
positions, such as those equipped with air bags, may not be safe
locations for this infant restraint.
2. Inserting the harness straps in the proper slots for your child.
3. Properly securing your child in the infant restraint.
4. Placing infant restraint/base in a rear-facing position.
5. Properly routing the vehicle seat belt or LATCH.
6. Properly reclining the infant restraint.
7. Properly securing the infant restraint in the vehicle using a seat
belt designed to restrain an infant restraint or by using LATCH. Many
seat belts are NOT safe to use with infant restraints, even though they
can easily be threaded through the infant restraint!

DO NOT INSTALL OR USE THIS INFANT RESTRAINT AND
BASE UNTIL YOU READ AND UNDERSTAND THE
INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL AND IN YOUR VEHICLE
OWNER’S MANUAL. DO NOT let others install or use the
infant restraint unless they understand how to use it.
FAILURE TO PROPERLY USE THIS INFANT RESTRAINT
AND BASE INCREASES THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH IN A SUDDEN STOP OR CRASH. Your child can be
injured in a vehicle even if you are not in a crash. Sudden
braking and sharp turns can injure your child if the infant restraint
is not properly installed or if your child is not properly secured in
the infant restraint.
PLACE THIS INFANT RESTRAINT ONLY IN A REAR-FACING
POSITION when using it in the vehicle.
SOME CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS, such as pre-term
babies or those who have tested positive for positional apnea,
may be at increased risk of suffering breathing or other
difficulties in an infant restraint. If your child has special needs,
we recommend that you have your physician or hospital staff
evaluate your child and recommend the proper infant restraint or
car bed before using this product.

3.0 Important Information

According to crash statistics, CHILDREN ARE SAFER
WHEN PROPERLY RESTRAINED IN REAR VEHICLE SEATING
POSITIONS, RATHER THAN FRONT SEATING POSITIONS. For a
vehicle with a front passenger air bag, refer to your vehicle owner’s
manual as well as these instructions for infant restraint installation.
NEVER LEAVE YOUR CHILD UNATTENDED.
NEVER LEAVE AN INFANT RESTRAINT AND BASE UNSECURED
IN YOUR VEHICLE. An unsecured infant restraint or base can be
thrown around and may injure occupants in a sharp turn, sudden
stop or crash. Remove it or make sure that it is securely belted in
the vehicle. If not using LATCH, make sure unsecured LATCH
connectors are properly stored in base.
REPLACE THE INFANT RESTRAINT AND BASE AFTER A
CRASH OF ANY KIND EVEN IF INFANT RESTRAINT WAS
UNOCCUPIED. A crash can cause damage to the infant restraint that
you may not be able to see.
DO NOT MODIFY YOUR INFANT RESTRAINT AND BASE or use
any accessories or parts supplied by other manufacturers.
NEVER USE INFANT RESTRAINT AND BASE IF IT HAS
DAMAGED OR MISSING PARTS. DO NOT use a cut, frayed or
damaged infant restraint harness, vehicle seat belt or LATCH belt.
THE INFANT RESTRAINT CAN BECOME VERY HOT IF LEFT IN
THE SUN. Always touch the surface of any metal or plastic parts
before putting your child in the infant restraint.
THIS INFANT RESTRAINT CONFORMS to all applicable Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and is certified for use in motor
vehicles and aircraft.

3.2 Warnings for Use With a Stroller
USE ONLY WITH STROLLERS THAT ARE

manual for details about how to attach the infant
restraint to your stroller. If you do not have an
owner’s manual, please call toll-free,
1-800-345-4109 to obtain one, or visit our
website at www.gracobaby.com.
Never use a Graco infant restraint with other manufacturer’s strollers,
as this may result in serious injury or death.
NEVER give this infant restraint and base to someone else without also
giving them this manual.
