WARNING!
!
Death or SERIOUS INJURY can occur.
•DO NOT use this booster seat with any other backrest or cushions.
•To prevent injury due to product deterioration, do not use this booster seat if it
has been involved in a severe accident or if it is older than six years from date of
purchase.
•Never leave a child alone in a vehicle, even for a short time.
•Always secure this booster seat using vehicle seat belt even when not occupied. In
a crash, an unsecured restraint can cause injury to other vehicle occupants.
•Except as described in this manual, do not dissemble or modify any part of this
booster seat or vehicle seat belt.
•Register your child restraint with the manufacturer.
•DO NOT place anything under the booster seat to raise it off the vehicle seat.
•This restraint is not a toy. Do not let a child play with it.
•DO NOT leave folding vehicle seats unlatched. In the event of a sudden stop, a
loose seat back could prevent the booster seat from protecting the child as well as it
should.
• In the event of an accident, the vehicle body itself provides the most signicant
passenger protection. While a properly installed restraint will improve chances for
survival in most accidents, a booster seat will not protect a child if the vehicle is too
severely impacted.

WARNING!
!
Death or SERIOUS INJURY can occur.
•According to accident statistics, the National Highway Transportation Safety Admin-
istration (NHTSA) recommends that parents select the rear seat as the safest loca-
tion to properly install a booster seat. Please read carefully the section concerning
vehicle seat belts in this guide to insure the child’s safety. If in doubt about installing
this booster seat, please consult the vehicle owner’s manual.
WARNING: DO NOT place a
child restraint in the front seat of a
vehicle with a passenger air bag.
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can
occur. The back seat is the safest
place for children under 12.
IMPORTANT: Children who weigh 40 lbs (18 kg) or less are best protected in a
5-point harness restraint. Diono recommends that children remain in a 5-point har-
ness restraint up to the maximum weight or height allowed for that restraint.
•If the child will not keep the vehicle shoulder belt properly positioned at all times,
DO NOT use a booster seat. You must use a harnessed child restraint.
•Maximum Child Height: Child is too tall if the top of the ears are above the top of
either the fully raised booster seat headrest or fully raised vehicle headrest.
