WARNINGS - Prevent serious injury or death:

NEVER 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. Refer to your

vehicle owner’s manual for information about side

air bags and child restraint installation.



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 AAP recommends that children

be rear facing until age 2 or until they

reach the maximum rear facing height

and weight rating for their seat.

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. 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 in-

jury or death. DO NOT use child restraint

if it is damaged or missing parts.

WARNINGS - Prevent serious injury or death: (continued)

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:

• Too reclined can result in injury

or ejection.

• Too upright can result in

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.

WHAT IS LATCH?

United States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety

Standards have deﬁned a new system for

installing child restraints in vehicles. The system

is called LATCH. LATCH stands for:

Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren.

LATCH in the vehicle consists of a top

tether anchor point and two lower

anchor points.

Some vehicle owner manuals use the

term ISOFIX to identify the new child

restraint anchor system. This child

restraint with LATCH can also be used

in vehicle seating positions equipped

with ISOFIX.

Newer vehicles may have one or more seating

positions equipped with LATCH anchor points.

If vehicle is equipped with LATCH, the vehicle

lower anchor points may be visible at the vehicle

seat crease. If not visible, they may be marked

with a symbol (Fig. a) or a colored dot.

See your vehicle owner’s manual for exact

locations, anchor identiﬁcation, and

requirements for use with a child restraint.

Check vehicle owner’s manual for vehicle top

tether anchor locations. They may be identiﬁed

using one of the anchor symbols(Fig. b or Fig. c).

Use vehicle belt (not LATCH connectors) for

installations with children weighing more than 48

pounds (21.7 kg).

NOTE: Some vehicle manufacturers have lower

maximum weight ratings for LATCH anchors, so

you must consult your vehicle owner’s manual

or call the vehicle manufacturer to conﬁrm the

limits on your vehicle’s LATCH anchors.
