Try to pinch the harness at the shoulders
vertically between index finger and thumb as
shown.
If your fingers slip off, the harness is tight
enough.
If you can pinch the harness strap, tighten more.The harness
straps should be snug throughout their length.
A snug harness strap should not allow any slack. It lies in a relatively
straight line without sagging. It does not press on the child’s flesh or
push the child’s body into an unnatural position.
WARNINGS: Failure to fasten and tighten the harness
system correctly may allow the child to be ejected from the child
restraint in a crash or sudden stop causing serious injury or
death.
Do not mistake comfort for safety. Harness system must be
snugly adjusted. DO NOT put snowsuits or bulky garments
on your child when placing them in the
child restraint.
Bulky clothing can prevent the harness
straps from being tightened properly.
To keep infant warm,buckle your child
in the child restraint and place a blanket
around the child or place the child’s coat
on backwards after buckling in.

When unoccupied the rear-facing child restraint must be firmly
secured to the vehicle with a lower universal anchorage system
if available or with a vehicle seat belt.The tether strap must be
stored as described in the instruction manual.
When unoccupied,the forward-facing child restraint must be
firmly secured to the vehicle with a lower universal anchorage

In a crash or sudden stop,an unsecured child restraint or booster
seat could injure the driver or other occupants in the vehicle.
Always check vehicle owner’s manual for proper use of vehicle
seat belts and the universal anchorage system (UAS) with your
child restraint.
In very few vehicles, the child restraint and booster seat cannot
be properly installed because of the type of seat belt system,
airbag system and/or lack of location to anchor the tether strap.
Always read and follow the vehicle owner’s manual instructions
for child restraint use.
Vehicle Seating Position
Never install a rear-facing child restraint in the front
seat of a vehicle equipped with an active passenger
side frontal airbag.
Always check vehicle owner’s manual for child restraint and
booster seat use with side airbags.
For vehicles with no rear seats,check the vehicle owner’s
manual for location and installation of a child restraint and
booster seat. Use the child restraint or booster seat only on
vehicle seats that face forward.
Do not use on seats that face the sides or rear of
the vehicle.
For vehicles with an airbag,but without a back
seat,refer to your vehicle owner’s manual.
If you are not sure where to place the child restraint in your vehicle,
consult your vehicle owner’s manual or contact Dorel Juvenile Group
Consumer Relations Department.
Children are safer when properly
restrained in rear seating positions
than in front seating positions.
According to accident statistics,children in rear seating posi-
tions are statistically safer, whether you have airbags,advanced
airbags,or no airbags at all.
To avoid your child being seriously burned, take the following
precautions:
1. Park in the shade or where sun does not directly hit the child
restraint.
2. Cover the child restraint with a sheet or blanket when not in use.
3. Check for hot seat and buckles before placing child in child re-
straint.
To help protect your vehicle seat’s upholstery from damage,use a
single layer towel underneath and behind child restraint.
Transport Canada Regulations
Transport Canada Road Safety Directorate regulates children’s
restraint systems under the Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems Safety
Regulations (RSSR).
The regulations require the manufacturer and/or importer to certify the
child restraint to the applicable safety standards and place specified
warnings and information on the labels fastened to each child restraint
and in this instruction manual.
Storing Child Restraint
To protect your child restraint, store in the house, not in the garage or
attic.
The hot and cold temperatures can harm the shell and/or the harness
system if stored for a long period of time.

Vehicle Seat Belts
Your vehicle’s features may be considerably different
than those pictured here.
Seat Bight
Consult your vehicle owner’s manual to help identify your
vehicle’s specific features and locations.
The UAS
The UniversalAnchorage System (UAS) is
for installing child restraints without using
vehicle seat belts.
The UAS can ONLY be used in vehicles
that have the UAS anchor bars installed
and designated UAS seating posi-
tions.Most vehicles manufactured after
September 2002 are equipped with UAS.
Check your vehicle owner’s manual to see
which seating positions may be equipped
with UAS.
When installing this child restraint
with vehicle belts or when using as a
booster seat, the UAS connectors and
belt MUST be properly stored.
To store UAS on this child restraint:
Thread UAS belt through rear-facing belt
path.Then attach connectors to storage
attachments as shown.Gently pull free
end of belt to remove slack.
29
Vehicle Belts
If UAS is not an option,you must use the
vehicle seat belt system to install the child
restraint.
There are some vehicle belts that will not
work with a child restraint or will require
special attention.Check your vehicle
owner’s manual for specific instructions.
WARNINGS: When used correctly the UAS or vehicle belts
are equally safe. Do not use both the UAS belt and vehicle belt at
the same time.

Knowing Your Vehicle Belts
32
Review your vehicle owner’s manual for vehicle seat belt use with
child restraints.This is your best source for information concerning
your vehicle.
Not all vehicle belts will work with this child restraint.This child
restraint must be tightly locked in place at all times.You must
determine if your vehicle’s belts are compatible with this child
restraint.
Vehicle Belts • Automatic/Passive vehicle seat belts
You MUST have a lap belt to install any child
restraint.An automatic (passive) shoulder belt
may or may not have a separate lap belt.
• Do not use with inflatable seat belts
You may need to move the child restraint to another seating loca-
tion or use UAS belts only.
•Vehicle belts in center of the door or side panel
You must move the child restraint to another seating location.
• Vehicle belts that are in front of the seat
bight
You may need to move the child restraint to
another seating location.
• ELR (Emergency Locking Retractor) vehicle belts
These belts only lock in a sudden stop or crash,and do not prop-
erly secure a child restraint alone.
To determine if you have this type of belt,
gently pull the belt all the way out of the retractor
(spool),let it return several inches,then pull on
it again.If it moves freely, it is an ELR belt. If it is
locked and will not allow any more belt to come out,it is a switch-
able retractor.
If you have an ELR lap and shoulder belt,review the“Vehicle Latch
Plate”section on page 32 to see if you need a locking clip.
WARNING: ELR lap-only belts MUST NOT be used with

should not need to use a locking
clip.

lock a child restraint in place and whether the latch plate or retrac-
tor will accomplish this.If the latch plate slides up and down on
the belt,and you have an ELR retractor, you MUST use a locking
clip to install the child restraint.See pages 52-53.
You may not need to use the locking clip with a switchable orALR
