WARNINGS + GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING
DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY CAN OCCUR
According to accident statistics, children are statistically safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating positions,
whether there are airbags, advanced airbags or no airbags at all. To ensure
your child’s safety refer to approved seating positions on page 11 in this
manual or your Vehicle’s Owner Manual.
• NEVER leave Child Restraint unsecured in your vehicle even when it is
unoccupied. In a crash, it could become a projectile and injure other
vehicle occupants.
• DO NOT use this Child Restraint without the seat cover. Failure to do
this can result in serious injury.
• Use this Child Restraint only on vehicle seats that face forward.
• DO NOT use on seats that face the sides or rear of the vehicle.

5
NEVER place this Child Restraint on a front seat with an
airbag. DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY can occur. An airbag can
strike a rear-facing infant restraint with enough force to crack
the shell and seriously injure or kill an infant. The back seat
is the safest place for children 12 and under. Refer to the vehicle owner’s
instruction manual before installing this Child Restraint in a seating position
with side airbags.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury to your child
or other vehicle occupants.
• NEVER leave child unattended.
• DO NOT use this Child Restraint system if it has been in a vehicle accident.
• Ensure that the child’s head is positioned correctly within the headrest and
that the shoulder belt is placed correctly over the child’s shoulders.

Restraint. Cover the Child Restraint with a sheet or blanket when not in use.

VEHICLE COMPATIBILITY – Lower Anchors and Tether for Children (LATCH)
The lower anchor system helps to anchor the booster seat in the car for stability and to prevent it from becoming
a projectile when not occupied in the event of a crash.

shoulder belts in a vehicle that contains
lower anchors. You must use the
lap-shoulder belt to properly secure
your child. The lower anchors must be
standard spacing (11"). Check your
vehicle’s owner manual to determine
lower anchor compatible seating
positions.
When not in use, the lower anchor
connectors must be properly
secured in the base of the booster.

position or different booster seat should be used.
IMPORTANT: If you remove your vehicle head restraint, be sure to stow
in a secure place; check your vehicle’s owner manual. Replace the head
restraint when the booster is removed from the vehicle seat.
