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.
8
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.
9
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
injury 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:

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.
10
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.
