!Children are safer riding rear-facing and should ride
rear-facing as long as possible, until they reach the
maximum rear-facing height or weight rating for their
car seat. Graco convertible and all-in-one car seats
have higher rear-facing limits that will allow children
to ride rear-facing longer after outgrowing their infant
car seat. Be sure to check your Provincial/Territorial
Laws, as well as AAP and Transport Canada
recommendations, for car seat usage.
!This child restraint must only be used with children
weighing between 1.8-14 kg (4-30 lb).
!Select a suitable location for the car seat in your
vehicle.
!Secure car seat with a vehicle seat belt or UAS that is
properly routed as shown in this manual.
!Vehicle seat belt system MUST hold car seat securely.
Not all vehicle seat belts can be used with a car seat.
!If vehicle seat belt does not hold car seat securely,
read “Vehicle Seat Belts” section 6-D and your vehicle
owner’s manual.
!Always secure car seat with UAS or a vehicle seat belt,
even when unoccupied. In a crash, an unsecured car
seat can injure passengers.
!DO NOT use car seat if it is damaged or missing parts.
! If car seat 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.
