LATCH Warnings
– cont.
For 5-point Harness Use Only
•
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
25 mm (1 inch) side to side or front to back at the
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.
Tether Strap Warnings
• To avoid a strangulation hazard, you
MUST
tightly roll
or fold excess or unused tether strap and secure with
a rubber band. Attach the tether hooks to the storage
clips when not in use (p. 11). This will keep an unused
tether from hitting someone during a crash.
Additional Warnings
• 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.
• This child restraint must be securely fastened to the
vehicle,
even when unoccupied,
using the vehicle
seat belts or lower anchor connectors. An unsecured
child restraint may injure someone if a crash occurs.
•
DO NOT
use the cup holders to store cans or hard
cups. Only for use with soft cups (such as styrofoam
or paper).
•
DO NOT
place any cups that contain hot liquids in the
cup holders.
•
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.
WARNING
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.
• 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.
• 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
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.
WARNING
•
Everyone rides buckled up or the vehicle does
not go.
Make no exceptions for adults or children.
If someone unbuckles, stop the vehicle. Being firm
and consistent from the start will mean fewer discipline
problems as children get older. An unrestrained person
can be thrown into and injure other passengers.
•
NEVER
try to tend to a crying baby’s needs while
driving.
NEVER
take a baby out of a child restraint for
comforting while the vehicle is moving.
•
DO NOT
allow a child in a vehicle to have objects
such as lollipops or ice cream on a stick. The object
can injure the child if the vehicle swerves or hits a
bump.
•
DO NOT
feed an infant who is riding in a child
restraint.
• Put sharp or heavy items in the trunk. Anything loose
can be deadly in a crash.
