WARNING

!

According to accident statistics, children

are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seating positions than in the front
seating positions.

Never place a child rear-facing in a

seating position with an active frontal
airbag.

This child restraint must always face the

rear of the vehicle and be in the fully
reclined position when the child weighs
between 5-35 lbs. (2.3-16 kg) and is less than
one year old.

Never place a child less than one year old

forward facing.

Check vehicle instructions for more

information about air bag/child restraint use.

Make sure the harness height is correct

for your child’s size.

The harness must be snug.

Do not lubricate buckles and fasteners.

Dorel Juvenile Group does not recommend

the use of any child restraint accessories
except those provided by DJG.

Failure to follow these warnings can result in
the serious injury or death of your child. To
help you recognize those instructions which
are most critical for your child’s safety, we
use this symbol

WARNING

!

The vehicle or LATCH belt must stay

tight at the belt path.When you switch from
one mode to the next, review the sections of
this instruction manual that apply to that
mode. If you don’t, your child could be
seriously injured or killed.

Never take your child out of the child

restraint or try to tend to your child’s needs
while the vehicle is moving. Never leave
child unattended.

Do not use a child restraint with damaged

or missing parts.

Do not use cut, frayed or damaged

harnesses.

Do not substitute parts or try to modify

the child restraint in any way.

Do not use a child restraint that has been

in a crash.You must get a new child
restraint.

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.

Check the vehicle or LATCH belt before

each use. Use only if the belt can be
tightened properly and securely.

This child restraint should be securely

belted in the vehicle even when not in use. In
a crash or sudden stop, an unsecured child
restraint could injure other occupants.
