IMPORTANT :
• Some vehicle manufacturers have lower maximum
weight ratings for LATCH anchors. Consult your vehicle
owner’s manual, or call the vehicle manufacturer, to
confirm the limits on your vehicle’s LATCH anchors.
• If you are using the vehicle seat belt to secure the child
restraint, DO NOT use the Lower Anchor Hooks.
• Install this child restraint with the vehicle seat belt
( NOT Lower Anchor Hooks) if the child weighs more
than 22.6 kg (50 lbs).
LATCH is a system for attaching the child restraint to your
vehicle seat. It is to be used in place of your vehicle’s seat
belts and can be used in vehicles with LATCH anchors. Your
vehicle owner’s manual may refer to this system as ISOFIX,
Universal Anchorage System (UAS), or Lower Universal
Anchorage System.
• ONLY use for securing child restraint to lower anchor bars.
•
ALWAYS
read and follow exactly the instructions which
accompany your vehicle and child restraint.
•
NEVER
attach two hooks to one vehicle lower anchor bar.
• DO NOT use the vehicle seat belts to install a child
restraint when using the Lower Anchor Connector
Assembly.
• This Lower Anchor Connector Assembly is intended to be
used ONLY as described in these instructions.
Serious injury or death may result from misuse.
•
ALWAYS be sure that the Lower Anchor Connector hook is
fully engaged onto the Vehicle Lower Anchor Bar by pulling
hard on the Lower Anchor Connector strap. If it is not
totally engaged, the Lower Anchor Connector Assembly
will not secure your child restraint. Serious injury or death
may result.
• To avoid a strangulation hazard, you
MUST
store the
unused lower anchor connector assembly, with all slack
removed, in storage area on the back of the seat. Roll or
fold excess lower anchor connector strap and secure with a
rubber band to prevent serious injury to vehicle occupants.
• In addition to these instructions, read and follow your
vehicle owner’s manual regarding installation of child
restraints and LATCH. If there is a discrepancy, follow your
vehicle owner’s manual.

method for a child weighing
