1 in 4 car crashes involving children are
side impact collisions. They are by far the
deadliest type of collision for children,
accounting for 1 in 3 child fatalities; nearly all
of which are caused by head trauma. These
are frightening facts, but Safety 1st has been
by your side for over 25 years providing
innovative products to help protect your child
from becoming a statistic. It is in this tradition
that we proudly announce Air Protect® side
impact technology.
Safety 1st engineers designed Air Protect®
using next generation testing methods that
simulate the most violent types of side
impact crashes, those with vehicle intrusion.
Using this advanced methodology, Air
Protect® was engineered to defend your
child in two vital ways. During a crash, the
system immediately shields your child’s head
from the impact. In a second layer of defense,
Air Protect® allows air to escape from the
headrest: channeling crash energy away from
your child, creating more ride down time. It is
this double layer of protection that makes Air
Protect® technology unique.
At Safety 1st, we are proud of our history,
but are always looking towards the future
and developing innovative products.
Products like Air Protect® that help shield
your child from the most violent real world
threats.

Thank you for choosing this car seat, referred to throughout
this manual as a child restraint. The DJG family is
committed to creating a child restraint with the most
comfort and convenience available today.
Remember, parents are a child’s first teachers and
examples. If you always buckle your seat belt, your child
will think it is the natural thing to do. Make it a firm rule
that the vehicle does not go until everyone is buckled up.
Make no exceptions.
No one can predict if use of a child restraint will prevent
injury or death in a particular crash. However, combined
with careful driving, proper use of a child restraint can
lower a child’s risk of injury or death in most crashes.
Your child’s safety is worth the time it will take to read and
follow these instructions. After reading, if you still have
questions or have any problems with this child restraint,
please contact our Consumer Relations Department at:

Safety Tip:
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 child restraint and buckles before
placing child in child restraint.
D-2 VehicleSeatingPosition
Use the child restraint
only on vehicle seats
that face forward. Do not
use on seats that face
the sides or rear of the
vehicle.
Some seating positions in your vehicle may not be safe for
this child restraint. Some vehicles do not have a seating
position that can be used safely with this child restraint. 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 Dept.
Never place a child rear-facing in a
seating position with an active frontal
airbag. This can result in serious injury
or death.
Safety Tip:
Children are safer
when properly
restrained in rear
seating positions than
in the front seating positions.
According to National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration information, children
in rear seating positions are statistically
safer, whether you have airbags, advanced
airbags, or no airbags at all.
To help protect your vehicle seat’s upholstery from damage, use
a single layered towel underneath and behind child restraint.

30
Vehicle Belts
If LATCH 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.
See next page and check your vehicle’s owner’s manual for
specific instructions.
The LATCH System
LATCH (Lower Anchors
and Tethers for CHildren)
is a universal system for
installing child restraints
without using vehicle seat
belts.
The LATCH system can
ONLY be used in vehicles
that have the LATCH anchor bars installed and designated
LATCH seating positions. Most vehicles manufactured after
September 2002 are equipped with LATCH.
Check your vehicle owner’s manual to see which seating
positions may be equipped with the LATCH system.
D-3 ChoosingLATCHorVehicleBelts
LATCHAnchorBars
Do not use both the LATCH belt and vehicle belt
at the same time.
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, during travel. You must determine if your vehicles
belts are compatible with this child restraint.
Vehicle Belts
• Automatic/Passive vehicle seat belts
You MUST have a vehicle lap belt to install any child
restraint. An automatic (passive) shoulder vehicle belt
may or may not have a separate vehicle lap belt. Consult
your vehicle owner’s manual.
• Vehicle belts in center of the
door or side panel
You must move the child restraint
to another seating location. Consult
your vehicle owner’s manual.
• Vehicle belts that are in front
of the seat bight
You may need to move the child
restraint to another seating location.
Consult your vehicle owner’s
manual.
• Do Not Use with inflatable seat belts You may
need to move the child restraint to another seating
location or use LATCH belts only.
• ELR (Emergency Locking
Retractor) vehicle belts
These lap and shoulder vehicle
belts only lock in a sudden stop or
crash, and do not properly secure
a child restraint alone. Consult your
vehicle owner’s manual.
To learn if you have this type of vehicle belt, gently pull
the vehicle 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 vehicle belt. If it is locked and
will not allow any more vehicle belt to come out, it is a
switchable retractor.

•Switchableretractor
These vehicle belts switch from ELR to ALR (Automatic Locking
Retractor). You must have the vehicle belts in the locking mode
to use them. Follow the instructions in the installation sections.
•ALR(AutomaticLockingRetractor)
These vehicle belts lock after pulling the webbing out and letting
the vehicle belt go back into the retractor an inch or two. Follow
the instructions in the installation sections.
VehicleLatch Plates
•ChecktheLatchPlates Grasp the tongue portion of the
latch plate (the part that goes
inside the buckle) and pull straight
out, inline with the vehicle lap
belt. If the latch plate does not
slide up and down the vehicle
belt, you have a locking latch
plate. You should not need to use
a locking clip. Consult your vehicle
owner’s manual.
If the latch plate slides up and down on the vehicle belt, and you
have an ELR retractor, you MUST use a locking clip to install
the child restraint. You may not need to use the locking clip
with a switchable or ALR retractor. Consult your vehicle owner’s
manual.
