NO BOOSTER SEAT CAN GUARANTEE PROTECTION
WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SERIOUSLY IMPACTED. However,

improve the chances for survival and reduce the risk of
serious injury in most crashes.
Carefully follow the instrucons in this manual and in

between the two, the vehicle owner’s manual must take
precedence with regards to seat belts and/or airbags.
!USE THIS BOOSTER SEAT FORWARD FACING ONLY.

assembling it.
! DO NOT allow children to play with this booster seat.
!NEVER leave children alone in a vehicle under any

Harmony Juvenile Products recommends keeping your
child in a forward-facing car seat with a harness unl
they reach the top height or mass limit allowed by your
car seat’s manufacturer. Once your child outgrows the
forward-facing car seat with a harness, it’s me to travel
in a booster seat, but sll in the back seat.
Transport Canada recommends that children under the
age of 13 years be placed in the back seat of the vehicle
and away from acve front airbags.
According to accident stascs, CHILDREN ARE SAFER
WHEN PROPERLY RESTRAINED IN THE REAR SEATING
POSITIONS THAN IN THE FRONT SEATING POSITION.
Please study the secon “Vehicle seang posions”.
Many local police and re departments frequently hold
safety inspecon events to ensure that booster seats are
properly installed. Please contact your local emergency
services department to see if and when they oer this
service.
! DO NOT allow others to install or use this booster seat
unless they read and understand all the instrucons
and labels.
! DO NOT GIVE THIS BOOSTER SEAT to someone else
without also giving them this instrucon manual.
Addional instrucon manuals can be downloaded
directly from www.harmonyjuvenile.com.
! To ensure proper booster seat use, keep and store this
instrucon manual and refer to it when necessary.
! DO NOT LEAVE A BOOSTER SEAT UNSECURED IN YOUR
VEHICLE. In a collision, sharp turn or sudden stop, an
unsecured booster seat can injure other occupants.
Remove it or make sure that it is securely aached
to the vehicle using UAS (if available) or the vehicle’s
3-point lap-and-shoulder belt, even when not in use.

8
! Use ONLY the vehicle’s 3-point lap-and-shoulder belt
system when restraining a child in this booster seat.
DO NOT use this booster seat with 2-point vehicle
belts (lap-belt only or shoulder-belt only). Your child
would be seriously injured in the event of a crash.
! DO NOT use this booster seat with unsafe vehicle
seat belts listed in secon “Unsafe vehicle seat belt
systems” of this manual.
VEHICLE WARNINGS
! INJURIES MAY OCCUR EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT IN A
CRASH if the booster seat is not properly installed or if
your child is not properly secured in the booster seat.
! DO NOT leave folding vehicle seats unlatched. In
the event of a sharp turn, sudden stop or crash, a
loose seat back could prevent the booster seat from
protecng the child as well as it should.
! It is recommended that any luggage or other objects
liable to cause injuries in the event of a collision shall
be properly secured. In the event of a sharp turn,
sudden stop or crash, loose objects will keep moving,
potenally causing serious injuries.
! This child restraint MUST always be used with the
fabric cover provided by the manufacturer.
! The child restraint shall not be used without the cover.
!The seat cover should not be replaced with any other
than the one recommended by the manufacturer.
! PARTS OF THE BOOSTER SEAT COULD BECOME HOT
ENOUGH TO BURN THE CHILD IF LEFT IN THE SUN.
Contact with these parts can injure your child. ALWAYS
touch the surface of any metal or plasc parts before
pung your child in the booster seat. Cover the
booster seat with a towel or blanket when the vehicle
is parked in direct sunlight.
