• To avoid a strangulation hazard, you
MUST
tightly roll
or fold excess or unused tether strap and secure with
a rubber band. Attach the tether hook to the storage
clip when not in use (p.
). This will keep an
unused tether from hitting someone during a crash.
• In hot or sunny weather,
ALWAYS
check the areas of
the child restraint that may contact your child (e.g.,
buckle, buckle tongues, etc.) for hot areas before
placing him/her into the child restraint. The child
could be burned. Cover the child restraint with a light
colored blanket when you leave the vehicle.
• This child restraint must be securely fastened to the
vehicle,
even when they are unoccupied,
using
the vehicle seat belts or lower anchor connectors.
An unsecured child restraint may injure someone if a
crash occurs.
•
DO NOT
use the cup holder to store cans or hard
cups. Only for use with soft cups.
•
DO NOT
place any cups that contain hot liquids in the
cup holder.
•
DO NOT
attach additional padding, toys, or other
devices not made by Evenflo or described in these
instructions for the child restraint. Items not tested
with the child restraint could injure the child.
Additional pads or pillows may interfere with the
function of the harness system, or cause breathing
problems if the child’s head falls forward, increasing
the risk of serious injury or death.
• In cold weather,
DO NOT
dress the child in bulky
clothing like snowsuits if the child is riding in a child
restraint. Bulky coats/snowsuits make it difficult to
properly tighten the harness to the child, which
may allow the child to be ejected from the restraint
during a crash. If necessary, place a blanket over the
harnessed child without interfering with the child
restraint harness system.
• Failure to follow installation instructions could result in
serious injury or death. These instructions and the
instructions in your vehicle owner’s manual must
be followed carefully. If there is a conflict between
the two, the vehicle owner’s manual regarding child
restraint installation must be followed.
Important
•
Everyone rides buckled up or the vehicle does
not go.
Make no exceptions for adults or children. If
someone unbuckles, stop the vehicle. Being firm and
consistent from the start will mean fewer discipline
problems as children get older. An unrestrained person
can be thrown into and injure other passengers.
• Many safety advocates and healthcare professionals
recommend that children ride rear-facing for as long
as possible. See limitations recommended on
•
NEVER
try to tend to a crying baby’s needs while
driving.
NEVER
take a baby out of a child restraint for
comforting while the vehicle is moving.
•
DO NOT
allow a child in a vehicle to have objects
such as lollipops or ice cream on a stick. The object
can injure the child if the vehicle swerves or hits a
bump.
•
DO NOT
feed an infant who is riding in a child
restraint.
• Put sharp or heavy items in the trunk. Anything loose
can be deadly in a crash.
• Child restraints could be recalled for safety reasons.
