Get to Know Your Car Seat

What Seating Location Should I Use?

Review section 2-A to see all of the features of this car seat.

The best seating location for this car seat is one that:

• Is recommended by your vehicle owner’s manual, and

• Results in a secure installation of this car seat.

Some vehicles have specific requirements for where the car seat can be installed, so

be sure to check your vehicle owner’s manual for available seating positions, if any.

Review section 9-A, 9-B of this manual AND your vehicle owner’s manual.

Which Installation Method Should I Use?

This car seat can be installed in your vehicle using either the vehicle seat belt OR the

LATCH system. Both are equally safe to use. DO NOT USE BOTH AT THE SAME TIME.

Vehicle Seat Belt: Review section 9 and your vehicle owner’s manual to learn how to

install your car seat with the vehicle seat belts.

LATCH: The LATCH system allows you to securely attach your safety seat in your

car without using the vehicle seat belt and possibly to get a better fit. All 2003 and

newer model year vehicles are required to have a LATCH system, although some

manufacturers began including LATCH earlier. Some vehicle owner manuals use the

term ISOFIX to identify the LATCH system.

According to accident statistics, the safest place

for your child in any vehicle is the back seat. The

center of the back seat can be the safest during a

possible side impact.

LATCH consists of lower anchors and top tether anchors, which are built-in to your

vehicle, and connecting hooks that are built-in to your car seat. Lower anchors are

used INSTEAD of the vehicle’s seat belt to secure the child seat to the vehicle. Top

tethers are used IN ADDITION to the lower anchors OR the vehicle’s seat belt to secure

a forward-facing car seat to the vehicle.

Review your vehicle’s owner manual for exact location and use.

LATCH System

LATCH consists of two lower anchors, which are built-in to your

vehicle, and connecting hooks that are built-in your car seat.

Review section 3-B, 4-B & 5-B of this manual AND your vehicle

owner’s manual.

LATCH can ONLY be used if the vehicle LATCH anchor spacing

is 11 inches (28 cm) from the center of one LATCH

anchor to the center of

the other LATCH anchor.

When Installing This Car Seat

Vehicle Seat Belt

There are two types of vehicle seat belts that can be

used When Installing Rear-Facing & Forward-Facing. Lap/

Shoulder Seat Belt or Lap Only Seat Belt.

Only use the Lap/Shoulder seat belt configuration when

Installing As a Booster

Review section 3-C, 4-C & 5-B of this manual AND your

vehicle owner’s manual.

1-B Welcome to the Graco Family!

Your child’s safety depends on you. No car seat can guarantee protection from injury in every

situation, but proper use helps reduce the risk of serious injury or death.

Even if this car seat seems easy to figure out on your own, you must follow the detailed instructions

in this instruction manual to ensure all steps are preformed correctly.

1-C Height and Weight Guidelines

Note: Preterm or low birth weight infants may be at special risk in a vehicle or aircraft. According to the

AAP, these infants may suffer breathing issues if improperly reclined in a car seat. When rear-facing, use

the corrected age for preemies. Graco advises that you have your physician or hospital staff evaluate

your infant and recommend the proper car seat or car bed before you and your infant leave the hospital.
