WARNING
•
ALWAYS
check the restraint and buckle for hot surfaces
before putting a child into the restraint. Your child could be
burned.
•
NEVER
leave child unattended.
•
NEVER
place this child restraint on beds, sofas, or other soft
surfaces. The child restraint can roll over on soft surfaces and
suffocate the child.
• This child restraint system, even when unoccupied,
MUST
be
firmly secured with a vehicle seat belt/LATCH at all times, as
specified in these instructions. An unsecured child restraint
may injure other occupants in a crash.
•
NEVER
leave the child in this child restraint when the
harness straps are loose or undone. A child may strangle
when straps are loose or undone.
•
NEVER
place this child restraint near the edges of counter
tops, tables, or other high surfaces. The child’s movements
can cause the child restraint to slide and fall.
• Fold-down armrests could pose a hazard to a rear-facing child
in certain types of collisions. Consult your vehicle owner’s
manual before installing any rear-facing child restraint in front
of a fold-down armrest.
• 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.
Additional Warnings

use this child restraint if it is broken, damaged or
missing parts.
•
DO NOT
use this child restraint if it has been involved in an

•
DO NOT
feed an infant who is riding in a child restraint.
• Anything loose can be deadly in a crash. Put sharp or
heavy items in the trunk.
• Always place handle in the car or stand position before
removing infant from carrier.
•
DO NOT
dress the child in blanket sleepers or other
clothing that would prevent the crotch strap from fitting
snugly up against the child.

colored blanket when you leave the vehicle. Always check
the child restraint and buckle for hot surfaces before
putting child into the restraint.
• In cold weather a child may need an extra blanket for
warmth. Secure the child in the child restraint and cover
both the child and the restraint with a blanket.

Airplane Usage
Recall Information
•
Everyone rides buckled up or the vehicle does not
go.
Make no exceptions for adults or children. If some-
one unbuckles, stop the vehicle. Being firm and consis-
tent right from the start will mean fewer discipline prob-
lems as children get older. Besides, an unrestrained child
or adult can be thrown into and injure other passengers.
•
NEVER
take a baby out of a child restraint for com-
forting while the vehicle is moving.
For future reference, record the model number of
your child restraint AND the date of manufacture
below.
