1. Warnings to Parents
and Other Users
DO NOT install or use this car seat until you read
and understand the instructions in this manual and
in your vehicle owner’s manual. DO NOT let
others install or use the car seat unless they
understand how to use it.
Failure to properly use this car seat increases the
risk of serious injury or death in a sharp turn,
sudden stop or crash. Your child’s safety depends
on you installing and using this car seat correctly.
Your child’s safety depends on:
1. Choosing the correct use mode of the car seat
depending on your child’s size.
2. Inserting the harness straps (if needed) in the
proper slots for your child.
3. Selecting a suitable location for the car seat in
your vehicle.
4. Properly routing the vehicle seat belt.
5. Properly securing the car seat in the vehicle
using a seat belt designed to restrain the car seat
and your child. Many seat belts are NOT safe to
use with this car seat, even though they can easily
be threaded through or around the car seat.
6. Properly securing your child in the car seat.

2. Important
Safety Information
No car seat can guarantee protection from injury.
However, proper use of this car seat reduces the
risk of serious injury or death to your child.
2.1 About Your Child
Instructions for the use of this car seat and your
vehicle’s seat belt differ greatly depending on the
size of your child. Be sure you are using the
car seat in the correct mode and with the correct
features for your child. Failure to use the car seat
in a manner that is appropriate for your child’s size
may increase the risk of serious injury or death.
When you switch from one mode of use to another,
be sure to review the sections of this manual that
apply to that mode.

NEVER LEAVE YOUR CHILD
UNATTENDED.
NEVER ALLOW THE CHILD TO BUCKLE
HIMSELF into the car seat at any time. This
unit must be installed and adjusted only by an
adult.
Your child should use the built-in harness if:

40 lbs. (9 to 18 kg), and
is between 27 and 40
inches (69 and 102 cm)
in height, and
child is at least one year
old and can sit upright
unassisted, and

2.2 About Using this Car Seat
in Your Vehicle
YOUR CHILD CAN BE INJURED in a
vehicle even if you are not in a crash. Common
events such as sudden braking and sharp turns
can injure your child if the car seat is not
properly installed or if your child is not properly
secured in the car seat.
THERE ARE MANY KINDS OF VEHICLES,
seat belt systems and occupant protection
systems. As a result, it is not possible for this
manual to tell you everything you need to know
about putting this car seat in your vehicle. You
must carefully follow the instructions provided
by your vehicle manufacturer, in addition to the
information in this manual.
SOME VEHICLES DO NOT HAVE ANY
safe location for this car seat, and many vehicles
have seat belt systems that must not be used with
the car seat because those systems will not safely
hold the car seat or your child in place. Refer to
sections 4 and 5.2, “Selecting a Suitable
Location for the Car Seat” (pages 13 & 19) and
to your vehicle owner’s manual for information.
THIS CHILD RESTRAINT conforms to all
applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards.
9
THIS RESTRAINT is certified for use in
Motor Vehicles. It is certified for use in Aircraft
only when used with the built-in harness.
When used as a booster without the harness,
this restraint is not certified for use in aircraft.
For aircraft use see section 5.5, “Using the Car
Seat in an Airplane” on page 35.
CONTINUOUS USE OF A CAR SEAT may
cause damage to a vehicle seat. To protect
vehicle upholstery, use a car seat mat, towel
or thin blanket under the seat.
2.3 When the Car Seat
is Not Occupied
NEVER LEAVE A CAR SEAT
UNSECURED IN YOUR VEHICLE. When
you are not using the car seat, either remove it
or make sure that it is securely belted in the
vehicle. An unsecured car seat can be thrown
around and may injure occupants in the event of
a sharp turn, sudden stop or crash.
PARTS OF THE CAR SEAT CAN BECOME
VERY HOT if the seat is left in the sun. Contact
with these parts can burn your child’s skin. Cover
the car seat with a blanket if it will be exposed to
the sun, and always touch the surface of any metal
or plastic parts before putting your child in the car
seat.
WHEN NOT USING THE CAR SEAT for
long periods, store it in a plastic bag in a cool,
dark, dry place.
10
DO NOT PLACE HEAVY OBJECTS ON
CAR SEAT while in storage. Heavy objects may
deform car seat over a period of time.
2.4 Life and Condition
of the Car Seat
REPLACE THE CAR SEAT AFTER AN
ACCIDENT of any kind. An accident can cause
damage to the car seat that you cannot see.
EVEN IF THE CAR SEAT IS NOT
INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, stop using it
and throw it away after the date molded into the
back of the car seat. Example: “Do not use this
child restraint after December 2006.”
DO NOT MODIFY YOUR CAR SEAT or
use any accessories or parts supplied by other
manufacturers. Only make adjustments to the car
seat as recommended in these instructions.
NEVER USE THE CAR SEAT IF IT HAS
DAMAGED OR MISSING PARTS. Do not
use a cut, frayed or damaged car seat harness or
vehicle seat belt.
NEVER GIVE THIS CAR SEAT TO
SOMEONE ELSE without also giving them
this manual.
NEVER USE A SECOND-HAND CAR SEAT
or a car seat whose history you do not know.
