• Follow all instructions on this child restraint and in the written
instructions located in the pocket behind the unit.
• Register your child restraint with the manufacturer. Check vehicle
owner’s manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer for the maximum
weight rating for their LATCH anchors. Use vehicle belt (not LATCH
connectors) for installations with children who weigh more than the
vehicle LATCH anchor limit. Unless specied otherwise by the vehicle
manufacturer, assume a 40 pound (18 kg) child is the vehicle LATCH
anchor limit.
• The H-harness must be used at all times.
• This child restraint must not be used in the home, in boats, or other
non- certied applications.
• Secure this child restraint even when it is not occupied. In a crash, an
unsecured child seat may injure vehicle occupants.
• Never use the H-harness to lift or carry this child restraint. Doing so
could cause damage to the harness adjuster and webbing. Always carry
this child restraint by the back or tether straps.
• Never route the vehicle belt over the child.
• Based on crash statistics, the National Highway Trafc Safety
Administration (NHTSA) recommends that parents select the back seat
as the safest location for a properly installed child restraint. Please
study the Vehicle Compatibility section in this instruction manual to
ensure your child’s safety and consult your vehicle owner’s manual.

IMPORTANT NOTES
• Verify that the child restraint is secure and the harness is properly
adjusted around the child each time the child restraint is used.
• Adjust the harness to t the clothes the child is wearing. Remove bulky
coats and or jackets before putting the child in the child restraint.
• Cover the child restraint when the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight.
Parts of the child restraint could become hot enough to burn a child.
• Store the child restraint in a safe place when it is not being used. Avoid
placing heavy objects on top of the child restraint.
• Do not leave children alone in a vehicle, even for a short time.
• Do not, except as described in this booklet, attempt to disassemble any
part of the child restraint or change the way its harness or the vehicle’s
seat belts are used.
• Do not leave loose objects, e.g. books, bags, etc., in the back of a
vehicle. In the event of a sudden stop, loose objects will keep moving,
potentially causing serious injuries.
• Do not leave folding vehicle seats unlatched. In event of a sudden stop,
a loose seat back could cause the child restraint not to perform as
intended.
WARNING DEATH OR
SERIOUS INJURY can occur!
• The primary protection for occupants of a vehicle in a collision is the
body of the vehicle itself; a child restraint will not protect a child when
a vehicle is seriously impacted. However, when correctly installed, a
child restraint will substantially improve chances for survival in most
crashes. Make sure all users fully understand the correct ways to use
this child restraint in a vehicle.
• When using in a vehicle with air bags, refer to the vehicle owner’s
manual for child restraint installation instructions and precautions.
• To prevent injury due to deterioration or hidden damage, discontinue
use of a child restraint that is older than six years or has been in a
moderate or severe crash. See date of manufacture located on the
child restraint.
• The use of non-WallarooTM child restraint covers, inserts, toys,
accessories, or tightening devices is not approved by R82. Their use
could cause this child restraint to fail Federal safety standards or not
perform as intended in a crash.

This child restraint can t securely
in most vehicles using existing
vehicle belts. However, some
vehicle designs prevent a secure t

The vehicle owner’s manual will
have information on the types of
vehicle belts. If your belt type is
listed on this page, select another
seating position or use Lower
Anchors and Tethers for Children
(LATCH).
WARNING! The following types
of vehicle belts are not compatible
with this child restraint:
Front vehicle belts with top or
bottom anchorage points in the
door. (Fig. A & B)
Motor-driven, automatic vehicle
belts. (Fig. B)
Lap-shoulder belts that have
separate retractors for the shoulder
section and the lap section in which
the lap section retractor does not
lock.
Non-locking, two-point Emergency
Locking Retractor (ELR) vehicle
belts without the use of a belt-
shortening clip.
Lap-shoulder ELR vehicle belts
without the use of a locking clip.
NOTE: Reference your vehicle
owner’s manual to determine the
kind of retractors used in your
vehicle and how to operate them.

Do NOT modify the vehicle without advice from the vehicle manufacturer if
a tether anchor is not available.
Do NOT hook the tether to the bottom of the vehicle seat adjuster.
IMPORTANT: If your vehicle does not currently have a tether anchor
attachment, reference your vehicle owner’s manual or contact your vehicle
manufacturer for assistance.
