WARNING: Verify your child’s weight and height
(do not guess) before choosing the child restraint’s
placement.
Children up to 1 year of age must ride rear facing.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that
children remain rear facing until they are at least 2
years old.
In this child restraint, your child can remain rear facing
up to 18 kg (40 lb) and up to 91 cm (36 in.).
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends
that children remain in a five-point harness until they
outgrow their forward-facing harnessed child restraint.
This typically occurs around age 4, but some children
outgrow them sooner and others not until later.

garments on your child when
placing them in the child restraint.
Bulky clothing can prevent the
harness straps from being
tightened properly.
6. Check Harness Tightness
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 strap should be snug
throughout its length.
5. Position Chest Clip
The chest clip must be placed at
mid-chest (even with armpits) and
away from the child’s neck.
To Remove Child From Child Restraint

Installation in Vehicle
Check the vehicle belt or UAS belt before each use. Use
only if the belt is tightened properly and securely.
When unoccupied the rear-facing child restraint must be
firmly secured to the vehicle with a lower universal an-
chorage 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 system if available or with a vehicle seat belt
and the tether strap.
When unoccupied, the booster seat must be firmly secured
to the vehicle with the vehicle’s seat belt only. The lower
universal anchorage system and tether strap must be
stored as described in the instruction manual.
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 ve-
hicle 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 Care Department.
Children are safer when properly
restrained in rear seating positions
than in front seating positions.
According to accident statistics,
children in rear seating positions 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 restraint.
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.
Choosing UAS or Vehicle Belts
Seat Bight
Your vehicle’s features may be considerably different than
those pictured here.
The UAS
The Universal Anchorage 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 positions. 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 hooks and
belt MUST be properly stored.
To store UAS belt on this child
restraint: Thread UAS belt through
forward-facing belt path. Pull hooks
around to back of the shell and attach
the hooks together as shown. Gently
pull free end of belt to remove slack.

Knowing Your Vehicle Belts
continued on next page
Your vehicle’s features may be considerably different than
those pictured here.
1. You MUST Review Your
Vehicle Owner’s Manual
Your vehicle owner’s manual
will let you know what vehicle
belts and seating positions child
restraints can be installed in.
2. Determine How the Child
Restraint Will Be Locked Into
Place
The vehicle belt MUST NOT loosen
after tightening.
This means there needs to be a
way to lock the vehicle belt.
3. Check the Retractor
Retractors pull seat belts into
stored positions and lock the belt
to hold passengers in place.
A retractor is most likely how you
will be locking a child restraint into
place.
The ways this can be done are:
• By using the seat belt’s retractor; or
• By using the seat belt’s latch plate.
Not all vehicle belts and seating positions will work with
child restraints. Please follow the following steps to
understand how to lock a child restraint with a vehicle belt.
See the next page for some common types of vehicle belt retrac-
tors that will work with this child restraint.
Vehicle Belts
If UAS is not an option or if your child weighs more than 18 kg
(40 lb), 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 belt or vehicle
belts are equally safe. Do not use both the UAS belt and
vehicle belt at the same time.
4358-7222 Alpha Omega 65 ENG.indd C25-C264358-7222 Alpha Omega 65 ENG.indd C25-C26 1/29/18 2:26 PM1/29/18 2:26 PM

27 28
Switchable Retractor
(most vehicles have this type)
Automatic Locking Retractor
Emergency Locking Retractor
This retractor can be switched to a locking mode.
You MUST have the retractor in the locking mode to use the seat
belt with this child restraint.
Switching to locking mode: Slowly pull the shoulder belt all
the way out, then let it go back in an inch or two.
As it goes back in, you will most likely hear a ratcheting sound.
Gently pull the belt to see if it has locked. You will not be able to
pull any more belt out if the lock has engaged.
This retractor always locks.
It will automatically lock after slowly pulling the seat belt out at
least halfway and letting the belt go back into the retractor an
inch or two.
If the retractor does not lock, it is most likely an Emergency Lock-
ing Retractor. These retractors only lock during a sudden stop or
collision.
You will need to determine if your seat belt’s latch plate can lock
the belt. See Step 4, “Check the Latch Plates,” on next page.
Types of Retractors
See Step 4, “Check the
Latch Plates,” on next
page.
Locking Latch Plate
Emergency Locking
Retractor with a
Sliding Latch Plate
4. Check the Latch Plates
Latch plates are the part of
the seat belt that goes into the
buckle.
Hold the lap belt with one hand
and with your other hand grasp the
tongue of the latch plate (the part
that goes inside the buckle). Pull
the latch plate straight out in line
with the lap belt.
If the latch plate does not slide up
and down the vehicle belt, it is a
locking latch plate.
If the latch plate slides up and
down the vehicle belt, it is a sliding
latch plate.
Sliding latch plates easily slip
between the lap and shoulder por-
tions of the belt.
If you have an Emergency Lock-
ing Retractor with a Sliding Latch
Plate, you MUST use a locking clip
to install the child restraint. See
pages 52-53.

Aircraft Information
This restraint is certified for aircraft use when used with the
internal harness.
This child restraint is not certified for aircraft use when

aisle. If the aircraft lap belt is too short, ask the flight attendant for
a belt extender.
Use only on forward facing aircraft seats.
Contact the airline for their specific policies.
Some airlines may ask to see a label
stating that this child restraint is
certified for aircraft use.
There is an airplane certification
label located on the side of this child
restraint as shown.
