General Warnings
• Failure to follow installation instructions can result in
your child striking the vehicle’s interior during a sudden
stop or crash. Serious injury or death may result. 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 regard-
ing child restraint installation must be followed.
• This child restraint MUST ALWAYS face the rear of
the vehicle. Serious injury or death can occur.
• NEVER leave child unattended.
• DO NOT use child restraint if it is damaged, broken,
or missing parts.
• DO NOT use this restraint if it has been involved in a
crash. It must be replaced.
Location Warnings
• ALWAYS read and follow exactly the instructions that
accompany your vehicle and child restraint.
• According to accident statistics, children are safer when
properly restrained in a rear seating position than in a
front seating position. Generally, the center rear is saf-
est and should be used if available. Children 12 and
under should ride in the back seat of the vehicle.
• If you are unable to use the center rear seating position
and have to install this child restraint directly behind
a front vehicle seat, ensure that there is at least 38
mm (1-1/2 in.) of space between any part of the child
restraint and the vehicle seat closest to the child’s head.
This space may be necessary for the child restraint to
properly perform in certain types of crashes.
• ONLY use this child restraint on forward-facing vehicle
seats. DO NOT use on vehicle seats which face the rear
or side.
• ONLY use this child restraint on vehicle seats with
backs that lock into place.
• Some child restraints do not fit all vehicles or all seating
locations. There are thousands of combinations of
vehicle makes, models, child restraint configurations,
seat belt designs, and seat cushion shapes. The easiest
way to determine whether your child restraint is
suitable for a particular seating position is to check for a
tight installation. If the child restraint cannot be
WARNING
properly installed, DO NOT use this child restraint.

location, or call Evenflo at 1-800-233-5921 (U.S.) or

Premature Infants
• DO NOT use this or any other child restraint with a
premature infant until after consulting your doctor.
Premature infants may have difficulty breathing when
in a sitting position.
Vehicle Seat Belt Warnings
• DO NOT use this child restraint in a vehicle seating
position with door-mounted seat belts.
• DO NOT use this child restraint in a vehicle seating
position with seat belts that automatically move along
the vehicle frame when the door is opened. These
seat belts will not hold a child restraint properly.
• DO NOT use this child restraint rear-facing in a
vehicle equipped with lap belts that only lock during
a sudden stop or crash (emergency locking retractor
– ELR). You must use a seating location with a locking
seat belt. Check your vehicle owner’s manual to see
if you have lap belts with ELRs.
• DO NOT loosen the vehicle seat belt to provide more
leg room, as this will prevent the child restraint from
protecting your child.
• 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.
• The headrest on the vehicle seat that the child faces
should be placed in the lowest position. The vehicle
seat back that the child faces must be fully padded
and free of any hard objects.
• DO NOT use this child restraint if it moves more than
25 mm (1 inch) forward or side-to-side at the vehicle
seat belt path. Serious injury or death may occur.
Try again or move the child restraint to another
seating location.
• If the vehicle seat belts are not routed and fastened
correctly, the child restraint may not protect your
child in a crash.
