Infant Head Support
When using the infant head support,
make sure it does not cover your child’s
face in any way.
You may remove it for bigger infants.
To remove, pull it off of the harness
straps.
Harness Covers
The harness covers help provide comfort
to your child’s neck. If the harness covers
will not allow proper positioning of the
chest clip or interfere with getting a tight
enough harness fit for a smaller infant,
remove and do not use.
Store until your child is large enough to
use the harness covers while maintaining
a properly fitting harness.
To remove, pull the fastening strips apart
and pull the harness covers off of the
harness strap.

through the slot in the pillow.
Slide the pillow out from behind the

Measure your child’s weight and height
(do not guess) before using this car seat.
Your child’s height, weight, and age determine how the
car seat should be placed in the vehicle.
Children vary widely in body size, shape, and
temperament—please consult your doctor before
switching between any types or modes of a car
seat within the limits and fit requirements of the
seat.
State Laws
Please be certain to follow your state
laws regarding car seat use.
American Academy of Pediatrics Recommendations
Infants and Toddlers
Should ride in a rear-facing car seat as long as possible,
until they reach the highest weight or height allowed by
their seat.
Toddlers and Preschoolers
Once they are facing forward, children should use a
forward-facing car seat with a harness for as long as
possible, until they reach the height and weight limits
for their seats.
