•  Do not leave any child in a vehicle alone or unattended by 

an adult.

•  Secure all personal objects inside the vehicle.  In an ac-

cident loose objects can become flying hazards with the 

potential for causing serious injury.

•  Except per the instructions in this manual or as instructed 

by a representative of the manufacturer, do not disas-

semble, attempt to disassemble or tamper with any part of 

this restraint or change the way the restraint harness or the 

vehicle restraint system is used.

•  Do not use restraint if there is any appearance of rust on 

any of the metal surfaces.

•  Do not oil or lubricate any part of the restraint.

•  Release levers and locking bolts should operate smoothly 

and freely.  When release levers are lifted, the release levers 

and locking bolts should spring back immediately and 

completely.  Do not use restraint if release levers and/or 

locking bolts wither bind or do not move freely.

•  When not in use, store restraint properly and avoid placing 

heavy objects on top of it.

To prevent injury to child:

  Do not use restraint in harness mode if it is older than 

eight years from the date of original purchase.  Do not 

use this restraint in booster mode if it is older than 10 

years from the date of original purchase.  Manufacture 

date is on side of restraint.

  Do not use restraint after it has been involved in any 

crash, whether the child was present in the restraint 

or if the restraint was unoccupied.  Damage to the 

restraint may have occurred which could impair its 

ability to adequately protect a child. Please call our 

Customer Care Team at 1-866-954-9786 so we can help 

you determine if your restraint needs to be replaced.

•  This restraint is not a toy.  Do not allow children to play 

with it.

•  Using any non-Diono product with this restraint, or any 

product not specifically approved by Diono for use with this 

restraint, is not allowed.  Use of such products voids manu-

facturer’s warranty and may seriously impact this product’s 

ability to perform properly in an accident.
