 MANY SEAT BELT SYSTEMS ARE NOT SAFE TO USE 
WITH THE CHILD RESTRAINT. THE VEHICLE SEAT 
BELT MUST  BE DESIGNED TO HOLD THE CHILD 

RESTRAINT TIGHTLY AT ALL TIMES. DO NOT USE A VEHICLE BELT THAT 
CHANGES LENGTH WHILE DRIVING. 

Pay careful attention to these systems; some 

of the seat belts that are not safe to use look very much like seat belts that are safe 
to use. If you are unsure, consult your vehicle owner’s manual or call Graco Children’s 
Products Inc., at 1-800-345-4109.

THE FOLLOWING BELT SYSTEMS CAN BE USED WITH YOUR

 

CHILD RESTRAINT,

 

IF the seat location meets all other requirements of these instructions and those in 
your vehicle owner's manual. 

LATCH

 can be used in place of the following vehicle belt 

systems if your vehicle is equipped with 

LATCH

 anchor points. Please refer to vehicle 

owners manual for 

LATCH

 locations.
