This car seat is for children: Rear-Facing: 5-40 lb (2.2-18 kg)
Forward Facing: 22-65 lb (10-30 kg)
• Children less than 22 lb (10 kg) MUST use this car seat rear-facing. Review section 1-C for more
information.
Note: Preterm or low birth weight infants may be at special risk in a vehicle or aircraft. According to the
AAP, these infants may suffer breathing issues if improperly reclined in a car seat. When rear-facing, use
the corrected age for preemies. Graco advises that you have your physician or hospital staff evaluate your
infant and recommend the proper car seat or car bed before you and your infant leave the hospital.
Which Installation Method Should I Use?
This car seat can be installed in your vehicle using either the vehicle seat belt OR the lower anchor attachment.
Both are equally safe to use. INSTALL USING ONLY ONE METHOD.
Vehicle Seat Belt: Review section 8 and your vehicle owner’s manual to learn how to install your car seat
with the vehicle seat belts.
LATCH or Lower Anchor Attachment: The LATCH system or lower anchor attachment allows you to securely
attach your safety seat in your car without using the vehicle seat belt and possibly to get a better fit. All 2003
and newer model year vehicles are required to have a LATCH system, although some manufacturers began
including LATCH earlier. Some vehicle owner manuals use the term ISOFIX to identify the LATCH system.
According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained
in the rear seating positions than in the front seating positions. The center
of the back seat can be the safest during a possible side impact.
NEVER place this child restraint rear-facing in a vehicle seating location
that has an active front air bag.
In the event there is no back seat, review your vehicle owner’s manual to see how to
use your child restraint.
