•      Follow all instructions labeled on this child car seat and in the 

written instruction manual on the lanyard located on back of 

car seat. For newborns or children without head control, consult 

pediatrician for recommended seat back angle before 

installation.

•      Failure to follow all instructions and product labels can result in 

death or serious injury in a crash. Carefully read and understand this 

instruction manual prior to using car seat. If you have any questions, 

visit 

us.diono.com

 or contact Diono at 

1-855-463-4666.

•      Use only with children weighing between 5 lbs to 120 lbs  

(2.3 to 54 kg).

•      With any infant weighing less than 20 lbs (9.1 kg), use only 

rear-facing.

•       Child weight limits: 

Rear-facing: 

5-50 lbs (2.3-22.7 kg)

Forward-facing with 5-point harness:  20-90 lbs (9-41 kg) 
Booster mode: 

50-120 lbs (23-54 kg)

•       Maximum heights: 

Rear-facing: 

 44" / 112 cm

  Forward-facing: 

  

             57"/ 144 cm

•      Secure the top tether anchorage strap provided with this child 

restraint.

•       Always  use  the  Safe Stop® device according to manufacturer’s 

instructions.

•      Always use a locking clip if it is required for proper car seat 

installation. Consult vehicle owner’s manual.

•      Always adjust restraint harness for a comfortable and snug fit 

around child. 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.

•      This car seat is not for use in homes, boats, on a motorcycle or in 

any other non-specified applications or environments.

•      Always keep this child car seat secured in the vehicle even when 

it is unoccupied. In a crash, an unsecured child car seat system 
may injure other occupants.

•      In the event of an accident, the vehicle body itself provides the 

most significant passenger protection. While a properly installed 
car seat will improve chances for survival in most accidents, some 
crashes are unsurvivable regardless of what car seat is used.
