Important
Tether Strap Warnings
Forward-facing Use Only
• 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. 14). This will keep an unused
tether or tether hook from hitting someone during a
crash.
Additional Warnings
Rear-facing and Forward-facing Use
• 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 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.
