Forward-facing Position Warnings
• If the child weighs more than 29.4 kg (65 lbs) or their
shoulders are above the highest harness level, you
MUST use this child restraint as a booster (p. 34).
• Adjust, or remove, the vehicle headrest, in the seat
where the child restraint is to be fastened , so that
the back of the child restraint rests against the vehicle
seat back.
• The headrest on the vehicle seat in front of the child
should be put in its lowest position. The vehicle seat
back that the child faces must be fully padded and
free of any hard objects.
Seat Belt Warnings
For 5-point Harness Use Only
• DO NOT use this child restraint if it moves more than
25 mm (1 inch) forward or side-to-side at the vehicle
belt path. Serious injury or death may result from poor
installation. If you can not tightly secure the child
restraint, try again or move it to another location.
For Both 5-point Harness and Booster Use
• DO NOT use this child restraint in a vehicle with
door-mounted seat belts.
• DO NOT use this child restraint in a vehicle with seat
belts that automatically move along the vehicle frame
when the door is opened. These seat belts will not
hold a child restraint properly.
• DO NOT use this child restraint in a vehicle equipped
with lap belts that only lock during a sudden stop or
crash (emergency locking retractor – ELR). You must
use a seating location with a locking seat belt. Check
your vehicle owner’s manual to see if you have lap
belts with ELRs.
• If the vehicle seat belts are not routed and fastened
correctly, the child restraint may not protect the child
in a crash.
• DO NOT allow the seat belt release button to touch
the child restraint. Accidental contact may cause the
seat belt to release. If necessary, turn the seat belt
release button away from the child restraint or move
the child restraint to a different location.
• Failure to adjust the harness or vehicle seat belts
snugly around the child may result in the child
striking the vehicle’s interior during a sudden stop
or crash. Serious injury or death may occur.
WARNING
Seat Belt Warnings
For Booster Use Only
• When using this booster seat, NEVER use a lap belt only.
You MUST use vehicle seat belts that have a
lap/shoulder combination.
• The shoulder belt MUST be threaded through the
shoulder belt guide (p. 36).
• DO NOT use this booster seat if the child’s ears are
above the back of the booster seat headrest.
• The shoulder belt MUST NOT cross the child’s neck
or fall off the child’s shoulder. If you can not adjust
the shoulder belt to properly lay midway between
the child’s shoulder and neck AND at or above the
shoulder , try another seating location or do not use
the booster seat.
LATCH Warnings
For 5-point Harness Use Only
• Do not use the lower anchors of the child restraint
anchorage system (LATCH system) to attach this child
restraint when restraining a child weighing more than
22.6 kg (50 lbs) with the internal harnesses of the
child restraint.
• This LATCH system is intended to be used ONLY as
described in these instructions. Serious injury or death
may result from misuse.
• In addition to these instructions, read and follow your
vehicle owner’s manual regarding installation of the
child restraint and LATCH. If there is a discrepancy,
follow your vehicle owner’s manual.
• ONLY use for securing child restraint to vehicle lower
anchor bars.
• NEVER attach two lower anchor connectors to one
vehicle lower anchor bar.
• NEVER use the vehicle seat belts when using the lower
anchor connector assembly. Using both together can
cause slack in a sudden stop or crash.
• When not in use, the lower anchor connector
assembly should be securely stored on child restraint.
Keep out of reach of children.
