1-C Safety Warnings

continue next page

Failure to follow these instructions and child restraint’s labels can

result in child striking the vehicle’s interior during a sudden stop or

crash.

! NEVER PLACE THIS CHILD RESTRAINT REAR-FACING IN A

VEHICLE SEATING LOCATION THAT HAS AN ACTIVE FRONT

AIR BAG.

If an air bag inflates, it can hit the child and car seat with great

force and cause serious injury or death to your child.

! Review your vehicle owner’s manual for more

information about air bags and car seat use.

! 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.

Important

! If your vehicle does not have a back seat, review your vehicle

owner’s manual.

!Children are safer riding rear-facing and should ride rear-facing as

long as possible, until they reach the maximum rear-facing height or

weight rating for their car seat. Then children should ride forward-

facing, using the built-in harness system for as long as possible until

they reach the maximum forward-facing weight or height for their car

seat. At that point, children should ride in a belt-positioning booster

seat. A booster is no longer needed once the vehicle seat belt fits

properly, typically when they reach 4 feet 9 inches (145 cm) tall and

are between ages 8-12. Be sure to check your local and state laws,

as well as AAP and NHTSA recommendations, for car seat usage.*

! Choose the correct mode of use for the car seat depending on your

child’s size. Infants less than 22 lb (10 kg) MUST use this car seat

rear-facing.

! Select a suitable location for the car seat in your vehicle.

! Secure car seat with a vehicle seat belt or lower anchor attachment

that is properly routed as shown in this manual.

! Vehicle seat belt system MUST hold car seat securely. Not all vehicle

seat belts can be used with a car seat.

Safety Administration‘s Car Seat Guidelines. Visit www.gracobaby.com/en-US/safety
