What Seating Location Should I Use?
Review section 2-B to see all of the features of this car seat.
The best seating location for this car seat is one that:
• Is recommended by your vehicle owner’s manual, and
• Results in a secure installation of this car seat.
Some vehicles have specific requirements for where the car seat can be installed, so be sure
to check your vehicle owner’s manual for available seating positions, if any. For example,
sometimes the center rear seat has a lap belt only vehicle seat belt, which cannot be used
when this car seat is in Booster mode.
Review section 7-B, 7-C of this manual AND your vehicle owner’s manual.

Which Installation Method Should I Use?
This car seat can be installed in your vehicle using either the vehicle seat belt OR the lower
anchor attachment. DO NOT USE BOTH AT THE SAME TIME IN THE 5-POINT HARNESS
MODE. Graco allows the securing of the car seat with LATCH system in the booster mode
only, if the vehicle manufacture allows it.
Vehicle Seat Belt: Review section 7 and your vehicle owner’s manual to learn how to install
your car seat with the vehicle seat belts.
LATCH: The LATCH system allows you to securely attach your car seat in your car without
using the vehicle seat belt. All 2003 and newer model year vehicles are required to have lower
anchor bars, although some manufacturers began including them earlier. Some vehicle owner
manuals use the term ISOFIX to identify them.
According to accident statistics, the safest place for your
child in any vehicle is the back seat. The center of the
back seat can be the safest during a possible side impact.

LATCH consists of lower anchor bars and tether anchors, which are built-in to your vehicle, and lower
anchor connectors that are built-in to your car seat. The lower anchor attachement is used INSTEAD
of the vehicle’s seat belt to secure the child seat to the vehicle in the 5-point harness mode. The
tether is used IN ADDITION to the lower anchors OR the vehicle’s seat belt to secure a forward-facing
5-point harness mode car seat to the vehicle.
Review your vehicle’s owner manual for exact location and use.

When Installing Forward-Facing
Vehicle Seat Belt
There are two types of vehicle seat belts that can be used. Lap/Shoulder
Seat Belt or Lap Only Seat Belt.
Review section 3-C of this manual AND your vehicle owner’s manual.
Lower Anchor Attachment
The lower anchor attachment consists of two lower anchors, which
are built-in to your vehicle, and lower anchor connectors that are built-
in your car seat.
Review section 3-B of this manual AND your vehicle owner’s manual.
Using The Car Seat Correctly
To make sure your child is secured properly, review section 3 and 4 to fit your child.
