belt systems” carefully. If in doubt about installing

this booster seat, consult the vehicle owner’s manual

or call the Harmony Customer Service Department.

Follow all labels on this booster seat and in these

wrien instrucons. DO NOT INSTALL OR USE THIS

BOOSTER SEAT UNTIL YOU READ AND UNDERSTAND

THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL AND IN YOUR

VEHICLE OWNER’S MANUAL.

NO BOOSTER SEAT CAN GUARANTEE PROTECTION

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SERIOUSLY IMPACTED. However,

when correctly installed, a booster seat will substanally

improve the chances for survival and reduce the risk of

serious injury in most crashes.

Carefully follow the instrucons in this manual and in

your vehicle owner’s manual. If there is a discrepancy

between the two, the vehicle owner’s manual must take

precedence with regards to seat belts and/or airbags.

!USE THIS BOOSTER SEAT FORWARD-FACING ONLY.

! DO NOT allow children to play with this booster seat.

!NEVER leave children alone in a vehicle under any

circumstance.

!It is recommended that children are not le in their

child restraint system unaended.

! Set a good example by ALWAYS wearing your seat

belt. Make it a rm rule that the vehicle does not move

unl everyone is buckled up. MAKE NO EXCEPTIONS.

FAILURE TO PROPERLY READ, FOLLOW AND USE

THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND THE BOOSTER SEAT

LABELS INCREASES THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR

DEATH IN A SHARP TURN, SUDDEN STOP OR CRASH.

Your child’s safety depends on the proper installaon

and use of this booster seat. Even if this booster seat

seems easy to install and use, it is VERY IMPORTANT

to read and understand these instrucons and the

vehicle owner’s manual.

WARNING!

! Harmony Juvenile Products advises against loaning

or passing along a booster seat. DO NOT USE A

SECOND-HAND BOOSTER SEAT or a booster seat

whose history you do not know.

! When disposing a booster seat system, ensure to

dispose of the unit in a way others cannot reuse it (e.g.

use a dark trash bag, do not sell to a thri shop or in a

garage sale, etc.).

! Store the booster seat in a safe place when not in use.

DO NOT place heavy objects on top of the booster seat

while in storage.

! DO NOT remove any sckers or warnings as they

contain important informaon.

!NEVER LET YOUR CHILD LEAN ON

THE ARMREST WHEN GETTING INTO

OR EXITING THE BOOSTER SEAT TO

PREVENT THE SEAT FROM TIPPING.

than those described in the instrucons and marked in

the child restraint.

! DO NOT allow others to install or use this booster seat

unless they read and understand all the instrucons

and labels.

! DO NOT GIVE THIS BOOSTER SEAT to someone else

without also giving them this instrucon manual.

Addional instrucon manuals can be downloaded

directly from www.harmonyjuvenile.com.

! To ensure proper booster seat use, keep and store this

instrucon manual and refer to it when necessary.

! DO NOT LEAVE A BOOSTER SEAT UNSECURED IN

YOUR VEHICLE. In a collision, sharp turn or sudden

stop, an unsecured booster seat can injure other

occupants. Remove it or make sure that it is securely

aached with the vehicle seat belt, even when not in

use.

INJURY WARNINGS

! INJURIES MAY OCCUR EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT IN A

CRASH if the booster seat is not properly installed or if

your child is not properly secured in the booster seat.

! The rigid items and plasc parts of a child restraint

shall be so located and installed that they are not

liable, during everyday use of the vehicle, to become

trapped by a movable seat or in a door of the vehicle.

! DO NOT leave folding vehicle seats unlatched. In

the event of a sharp turn, sudden stop or crash, a

loose seat back could prevent the booster seat from

protecng the child as well as it should.

! It is recommended that any luggage or other objects

liable to cause injuries in the event of a collision shall

be properly secured. In the event of a sharp turn,

sudden stop or crash, loose objects will keep moving,

potenally causing serious injuries.

CERTIFICATIONS

! The child restraint shall not be used without the cover.

It MUST always be used with the fabric cover provided

by the manufacturer.

! The seat cover should not be replaced with any other

than the one recommended by the manufacturer,

because the cover constutes an integral part of the

restraint performance.

! PARTS OF THE BOOSTER SEAT COULD BECOME

HOT ENOUGH TO BURN THE CHILD IF LEFT IN THE

SUN. Contact with these parts can injure your child.

ALWAYS touch the surface of any metal or plasc parts

before pung your child in the booster seat. Cover

the booster seat with a towel or blanket when the

vehicle is parked in direct sunlight. KEEP AWAY FROM

SUNLIGHT, OTHERWISE IT MAY BE TOO HOT FOR

THE CHILD’S SKIN.

This is a “Universal” child restraint when installed using

the 3-point vehicle seat belt only. It is approved to the

! Use ONLY the vehicle’s 3-point lap-and-shoulder belt

system when restraining a child in this booster seat.

DO NOT use this booster seat with 2-point vehicle

belts (lap-belt only or shoulder-belt only). Your child

would be seriously injured in the event of a crash.

! DO NOT use this booster seat with unsafe vehicle

seat belts listed in secon “Unsafe vehicle seat belt

systems” of this manual.

! DO NOT use this booster seat if it can’t be properly

installed. It is possible that your vehicle has no suitable

seang posion for this booster seat due to seat belt

type, airbag system and/or lack of locaon of a tether

strap anchor. Read and follow these instrucons, and

your vehicle owner’s manual carefully.

VEHICLE WARNINGS

requirements of the European Standard for Child Safety

Seat Equipment under Regulaon No. 44, 04 series of

amendments, for general use in vehicles and it will t

most, but not all, car seats.

A correct t is likely if the vehicle manufacturer has

declared in the vehicle handbook that the vehicle is

capable of accepng a “Universal” child restraint for this

age group.

This child restraint has been classied as “Universal”

under more stringent condions than those which

applied to earlier designs which do not carry this noce.

This child restraint is classied for “Semi-Universal”

use when installed using the Opty-Fix connectors in

conjuncon with the 3-point vehicle seat belt (certain models

only) and is suitable for xing into the seat posions of the

cars listed on www.harmonyjuvenile.com/uk/resources.

If in doubt, consult either the child restraint

manufacturer or the retailer.

! Only suitable for use in the listed vehicles ed with

3-point with retractor safety-belts, approved to ECE

Regulaon No. 16 or other equivalent standards.

This restraint is NOT CERTIFIED for aircra use.

This booster seat must NOT be used in homes, boats,

buses, motorcycles, motor homes, or any other vehicles

that have non-forward-facing seats, missing seat belts,

or whose seat belts do not meet the requirements of

this booster seat.

AIRBAG WARNINGS

! NEVER PLACE THIS BOOSTER SEAT IN A VEHICLE

SEATING LOCATION THAT HAS AN ACTIVE FRONTAL

AIRBAG. An inang airbag may cause serious injury

or death. Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual for

turn, sudden stop, or crash.

!DO NOT use anything to raise the booster seat o the

vehicle seat. Untested modicaons, such as adding

extra padding, could aect the safety of the booster

seat and result in serious injury or death in a crash.

This booster seat may be used in a rear seang posion

equipped with side impact airbags providing they are:

• Roof mounted;

• “Curtain” type deployment;
