RATHER THAN FRONT SEATING POSITIONS.
• DO NOT PLACE ANY CHILD RESTRAINT IN THE FRONT SEAT OF
A VEHICLE WITH AN ACTIVE PASSENGER AIR BAG UNLESS THE

Safe Practices
WARNING
• Top of child’s ears must be below the top of the vehicle seat
cushion or vehicle headrest. If the top of the child’s ears are above
the top of the vehicle seat cushion or vehicle headrest, do NOT use
the child restraint in this seating position.
When used in the harness mode:
• USE ONLY WITH CHILDREN WHO WEIGH BETWEEN 30 AND 60
POUNDS (13.6 - 27 KG) AND WHOSE HEIGHT IS BETWEEN 34
AND 52 INCHES (86 - 132 CM), AND WHO ARE OVER 1 YEAR OF
AGE.
• ALWAYS SECURE THE TETHER STRAP provided with this child
restraint. If a tether anchor is not available in your vehicle, do
NOT use this restraint.
• SNUGLY ADJUST THE HARNESS provided with this child restraint
around your child. An improperly adjusted harness may not
sufficiently restrain the child in a crash resulting in serious injury
or death.
When used in the belt-positioning booster
mode (without the harness):
• USE ONLY WITH CHILDREN WHO WEIGH BETWEEN 40 AND 100
POUNDS (18 - 45 KG) AND WHOSE HEIGHT IS BETWEEN 43 AND
57 INCHES (109 - 145 CM), AND WHO ARE 3 YEARS OLD OR
OLDER.
• USE ONLY THE VEHICLE LAP AND SHOULDER BELT SYSTEM when
restraining the child in the booster seat. NEVER use a lap belt only.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH OF YOUR CHILD. PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW
ALL CHILD RESTRAINT AND VEHICLE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
• Ensure all vehicle occupants are properly restrained before traveling.
Unrestrained occupants can be thrown around and may be seriously
injured or seriously injure other occupants in a sharp turn, sudden stop
or crash.
• Before every trip, check that the child restraint is secure and that the
harness is properly adjusted around the child.
• If the child is wearing cold weather clothing, give extra attention to
adjusting the harness. Make sure the harness straps lie flat on the
child’s shoulders and the chest clip is at armpit level. Check to be sure
harness is snugly adjusted and the child cannot lean forward. Clothing
that interferes with the proper placement or adjustment of the harness
system should never be used.
• Cover the child restraint when the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight.
Parts of a child restraint can become very hot if left in the sun. Contact
with these parts can burn a child’s skin. Always check the surface of
any metal or plastic parts before putting your child in the child restraint.
• Do not leave loose objects, such as books, bags, etc., in the back of
the vehicle. In the event of a sharp turn, sudden stop, or crash, loose
objects can be thrown around and possibly cause serious injury to
vehicle occupants.
• Do not allow children to play with vehicle seat belts. If possible, move
unused seat belts out of reach to avoid a strangulation hazard.
• Always tightly roll or fold any excess tether strap and attach the Velcro®
strip to avoid a strangulation hazard.

hold a child restraint in place. DO NOT USE
this type of belt system unless the vehicle
owner’s manual or label states the belt can be locked at all times.
NEVER use a lap belt only when using the child restraint in a belt
positioning booster mode.

system unless it holds the child restraint securely
and the lap belt portion stays locked at all times.
