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:
6
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)
7
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:

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.
