SAFETY INFORMATION 

-IMPORTANT-

Read all instructions carefully before using!

Pay particular attention to the safety information below.

• Your carrier adds to your size and can affect your coordination and 

balance. Before use, familiarize yourself with the added weight of the 
carrier and child.

• When bending, always bend from the knees, not the waist, so that child is

not pitched forward

.

• Never use a damaged carrier.

-Each

time you use the carrier, check its condition. Make sure bolts and 

fasteners are tight, and see that there is no deformation or creases in 
frame. 

-Note

that frame can bend if handled roughly. Avoid dropping carrier,

running over carrier, etc.

If you discover that a fastener is loose or you suspect that the integrity of 
the frame has been compromised, discontinue use of the carrier. Return it  
to your nearest Kelty dealer.

• When in use, always fasten child’s five-point safety harness and adjust 

properly. A too-loose or too-tight harness may allow your child to be
injured.

• Take care that the carrier does not tip over when you are putting the child

in or removing the child. Never place carrier on elevated surfaces, such as
benches, tables, or countertops. Never place it on a soft surface like a bed
or sofa.

WARNING

Improper use of this carrier could cause injury to your child or yourself.
Before use, please read all instructions in this brochure and follow them.
Keep instructions for future reference. If you ever have any questions
about your carrier, please call Kelty at 1-800-423-2320.
