To help prevent serious injury or death:
• To avoid a strangulation hazard, you
MUST
tightly roll
or fold excess of unused tether strap and secure with a
rubber band. Attach the tether hook to the storage clip
when not in use (p.
21
). This will keep an unused tether
or tether hook from hitting someone during a crash.
Tether Strap Warnings
•
DO NOT
use the cup holder to store cans or hard 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 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.
• 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.
Additional Warnings
To help prevent serious injury or death:
•
DO NOT
use the lower anchors of the child restraint
anchorage system (
LATCH
system) to attach this child
restraint when restraining a child weighing more than
18 kg (40 lbs) with the internal harnesses of the child
restraint.
ONLY USE VEHICLE BELT INSTALLATION.
• In addition to these instructions, read and follow your
vehicle owner’s manual regarding installation of the
child restraint and
LATCH
. If there is a discrepancy,
follow your vehicle owner’s manual.
•
ONLY
use for securing child restraint to vehicle lower
anchor bars.
•
NEVER
attach two lower anchor connectors to one
vehicle lower anchor bar.
•
NEVER
use the vehicle seat belts when using the lower
anchor connector assembly. Using both together can
cause slack in a sudden stop or crash.
• To avoid strangulation, you must store the unused
LATCH
straps, with all slack removed, in the storage
areas on the sides of your seat. Roll or fold the excess
LATCH
strap and secure with a rubber band to prevent
serious injury to vehicle occupants.
•
ALWAYS
be sure that the lower anchor connectors are
attached to the vehicle lower anchor bars by pulling
hard on the lower anchor connectors. If they are not
attached, the lower anchor connector assembly will not
secure your child restraint. Serious injury or death may
result.
•
DO NOT
use this child restraint if it moves more than
2.5 cm (1 in.) side to side or front to back at either
the rear-facing or forward-facing belt path on the
child restraint. Serious injury or death may result from
poor installation. If you cannot tightly secure the child
restraint, try again or move it to another location.
