of purchase required) or manufactured
otherwise. Check the label on the bottom

with this child restraint, as these constitute
an integral part of the child restraint
performance.
WARNING
DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY CAN OCCUR
DO NOT modify your child restraint or use
any accessories or parts supplied by other
manufacturers unless they are approved
by Nuna for use with this child restraint.
Doing so may be unsafe and may void
the warranty.
DO NOT use a cut, frayed or damaged
vehicle seat belt. NEVER use the child
restraint if it has frayed or cut harness
straps, any damaged or missing parts,
or has been in a damaging crash. To find
out if damaged parts are replaceable,
call 1-800-667-4111.
NEVER use a car seat that has been
involved in a moderate to severe crash.
See page 16 to learn the difference between
a minor and moderate to severe crash.
DO NOT allow anyone who has not read

restraint. NEVER give this child restraint to
another person without also giving them

EN
EN
Cover the child restraint when your vehicle
is parked in sunlight. Parts of a child restraint
can become very hot if left in the sun, and
can burn a child’s skin. Check for hot parts
before putting your child in the child restraint.
NEVER leave child restraint unsecured in
your vehicle even when it is unoccupied.
In a crash, it could become a projectile
and injure other vehicle occupants.
NEVER leave luggage or other objects
unsecured in a vehicle, as they are liable
to cause injuries in the event of a collision.
DO NOT install on a rear facing or side
facing vehicle seat.
This booster should be installed in the rear
vehicle seat so that it can be installed with
the vehicle lower anchors.
DO NOT install in the front passenger seat
with an active airbag, unless the air bag
can be turned OFF.
The child restraint is NOT certified for aircraft
use when used as a booster. Aircraft belts
are lap belts only, and a child cannot be
secured in the booster with only a lap belt.
WARNING! Use ONLY the vehicle’s lap and
shoulder belt system when restraining the
child in this booster seat. Use of any other
method of securement will not properly
secure the child, which could result in serious
injury or death. DO NOT use the built-in
harness when using the booster seat.
Properly position the vehicle lap and
shoulder belt on your child. Make sure the
vehicle lap and shoulder belt are not loose.
A loose or improperly positioned vehicle
lap and shoulder belt could cause the
child to be ejected in a sudden stop, turn
or crash and cause serious injury or death.
The vehicle shoulder belt should rest on
the child’s shoulder and across the center
of the chest.
The vehicle lap belt must remain snug
across the child’s thighs.
This restraint system can only be used
in these classes of vehicles: passenger
cars, multipurpose vehicles and trucks
that have lap, lap/shoulder belts and
UAS connectors.

Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual to determine
if your vehicle is equipped with UAS, and how to
correctly use UAS to install this child restraint in
your vehicle.
UAS and Tether Locations
Common locations of UAS and tether in a vehicle
are shown below (consult your vehicle owner’s
manual). Other locations of the tether are shown
on the next page.
UAS in Harness Mode (Forward Facing)
This child restraint is designed to be used with UAS
anchors at the standard spacing of 28 cm (11 inches).
UAS anchor points are defined as 28 cm (11 inches)
from the center of one UAS anchor to the center of
another UAS anchor.
WARNING: DO NOT USE the UAS anchor
belt to attach this child restraint forward facing
with harness mode when restraining a child
weighing over 18 kg (40 lbs).
Vehicle Compatibility
This child restraint can ONLY be installed on vehicle
seats that face forward. DO NOT install in seats that
face to the sides or rear of the vehicle.
IMPORTANT: According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly restrained in the rear
seating positions than in the front seating positions.
Using UAS
This Child Restraint can be installed without vehicle
belts, by connecting the Restraint’s Universal Anchor
Belts to the lower anchorages in your vehicle.
UAS (Universal Anchorage System) is a system
for installing a child restraint in a vehicle without
using the vehicle belts.
WARNING: You MUST read and understand
ALL child restraint related instructions and
warnings in your vehicle owner’s manual to
correctly and safely use this child restraint in
your vehicle.

Using Vehicle Belts
Vehicle belt type is based on mode, as specified
below:
Lap/Shoulder Belt (A)
Harness mode
(forward facing)
Booster Mode
Lap Belt Only (B)
Harness mode
(forward facing)
Belts MUST be able to be locked. Refer to your
vehicle owner’s manual to determine if the belts
in your vehicle lock by: A) switching the seat belt’s
retractor by pulling the belt all the way out, or
B) a locking latch plate that locks the vehicle’s
seat belts so they will not move freely.
If the belt cannot be locked using one of these
methods, contact Nuna Customer Service for
a locking clip.
Tether
The child restraint’s tether strap must ALWAYS
be used in Harness mode (forward facing) as it
provides a more secure installation and is proven
to be safer. In a crash, the tether limits a child’s
forward movement, protecting their head and
neck and reducing the risk of injury.
Common tether locations (consult your vehicle
manual):
UAS in Booster mode (without built-in
harness)
Non-standard spacing of the lower anchors is
allowed in booster mode ONLY IF the vehicle
manufacturer allows it; consult your vehicle
owner’s manual.
An example of non-standard spacing is installing
the booster in the center seating position of your
vehicle where there are no lower anchors and
using the closest lower anchors from the outboard
positions instead.
When using non-standard spacing, lower anchors
MUST NOT interfere with the vehicle seat belt.

Vehicle Belts that CANNOT Be Used
The following types of vehicle belts MUST NOT
be used to install this child restraint. They will not
provide a secure, safe installation. Refer to your
vehicle owner’s manual for which seating positions
in your vehicle can be used to install this child
restraint using vehicle belts or UAS.
1 - Motorized Belts (Automatic)
These should not be used unless the shoulder
belt can be removed, the lap belt is locked and
use is allowed by the vehicle manufacturer.
2 - Dual Retractor Lap/Shoulder Belts
If allowed by the vehicle manufacturer, the
lap belt only may be used to secure the child
restraint if it can be locked in accordance with
this manual and the vehicle’s manual.
3 - Non-Locking (ELR) Lap Belts
This belt locks only in a crash or sudden stop and
should only be used with a belt shortening clip.
Contact your vehicle manufacturer if needed.
4 - Airbag/Inflatable Belts
This belt is only allowable in booster mode.
5 - Door Mounted Belts
6 -Lap Belts forward of Seat Bight (where the seat
bottom and back meet)

Car Seat Use after a Crash
Nuna recommends that car seats be replaced
following a moderate or severe crash. Car seats
do not automatically need to be replaced following
a minor crash.
A minor crash is one in which ALL of these apply:
• The vehicle was able to be driven away from
the crash site.
• The vehicle door nearest to the car seat was
not damaged.
• None of the passengers in the vehicle
sustained any injuries in the crash.
• If the vehicle has air bags, none of the air bags
deployed during the crash; and
• There is no visible damage to the car seat.
Any crash that does not meet all of the above
criteria for a minor crash is considered a moderate
to severe crash. NEVER use a car seat that has
been involved in a moderate to severe crash.
Aircraft Installation
Install child restraint forward facing in a forward
facing aircraft seat following vehicle lap belt
instructions, but install aircraft belt on top of closed
True Tension™door, under seat cover.

The FAA recommends that children up to 18 kg (40 lbs)
use a child restraint while traveling on an aircraft.
When used in harness mode (forward facing):
This restraint is certified for use in aircraft.
When used in Booster mode (without built-in
harness): This restraint is NOT certified for use
in aircraft, since aircraft belts are lap belts only.
