WARNINGS - Prevent serious injury or death:
Failure to follow these instructions and
child restraint labels can result in child
striking the vehicle’s interior during a
sudden stop or crash. Secure child
restraint with a vehicle seat belt or
LATCH that is properly routed as shown
in this manual.
Select a suitable location for the child
restraint in your vehicle.
Choose the correct mode of use for the
child restraint depending on your child’s
size. Infants less than 20 lbs. (9 kg) must
use this child restraint rear-facing.
Serious crippling injury or death can
result if infant faces front of vehicle.
The American Academy of Pediatrics
recommends that children should be
at least one year of age before being
positioned forward facing.
Vehicle seat belt system MUST hold
child restraint securely. Not all vehicle
seat belts can be used with a child
restraint.
If vehicle seat belt does not hold child
restraint securely, read “Vehicle Seat
Belts” section.

WARNINGS - Prevent serious injury or death:
Never put a child restraint in a front
vehicle seat unless recommended by
vehicle owner’s manual. National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) alerts vehicle owners that
according to accident statistics, children
are safer in the back seat. For vehicles
with air bags, refer to vehicle owner’s
manual for child restraint installation
information.
If child restraint is in a crash, it
must be replaced. DO NOT use it again!
A crash can cause unseen damage and
using it again could result in serious
injury or death. DO NOT use child
restraint if it is damaged or missing
parts.
DO NOT use accessories or parts other
than those provided by Graco. Their use
could alter the performance of the child
restraint.
Rear-facing child restraint must be
properly leveled:

or ejection.

breathing difficulties.

Insert the harness straps in the proper
slots for your child. Never leave child
unattended, even when sleeping. Child
may become tangled in harness straps
and suffocate or strangle.
DO NOT remove LATCH system from
child restraint. If using vehicle seat belt
to secure child restraint, LATCH
connectors must be stored. (see
section “LATCH storage”)
Never attach two
LATCH connectors
to one vehicle lower
anchor point unless
specifically allowed
by the vehicle
manufacturer.
WARNINGS - Prevent serious injury or death: (continued)
NEVER use the Rear Facing LATCH belt
and the Forward Facing LATCH belt at
the same time. You can only use one
LATCH belt at a time depending on
which mode you install the child
restraint.
WARNING
DO NOT place this child restraint
in a vehicle seating
location that has a
front air bag. If an air
bag inflates, it can hit
the child and child
restraint with great
force and cause
serious injury or death
to your child. Check vehicle owner’s
manual for information about side air
bags and child restraint installation.
