IMPORTANT INFORMATIONCONTINUED

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. (9.1kg) 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 (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.

WARNINGS- Prevent serious injury or death:

(continued)

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 rear 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:

breathing difﬁculties.

WARNINGS- Prevent serious injury or death:

(continued)

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.

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.

WARNINGS- Prevent serious injury or death:
