For Your Information

•Please read this entire manual carefully before using this car seat. Keep this manual in the pocket on the car seat for easy reference.

•This child restraint system conforms to all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and

is certified for use in motor vehicles and aircraft.

•The rear-facing position is the safest position from birth to 1 year old (6 -30 lbs., 3 -14 kg). If your child is less than 1 year old, DO NOT use this car seat in the forward-facing position.

•The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that infants be restrained in a rear-facing car seat until they are at least 1 year of age and 20 lbs. to reduce the risk of cervical spine injury in the event of a crash. Since an infant’s head size is very large relative to body size and the neck is still developing strength, a rear-facing car seat is safer because it better supports an infant’s head and back in the event of a frontal crash.

•The forward-facing position is for children 1 year and up that range in size from 22-40 lbs. (10 -18 kg) and up to 40" (102 cm) tall.

•If your child weighs 22-40 lbs. but cannot sit upright unassisted, please contact your physician to determine how best to use a car seat.

•Complete the registration card attached to the car seat and mail it in today!

•If your vehicle was manufactured in or after

1985, Fisher-Price®recommends that you contact your vehicle dealer to obtain a tether anchor kit that is specifically designed for your vehicle. Most vehicle manufacturers supply these kits free of charge.

•If your vehicle was manufactured before 1985, or a tether anchor kit is not available for your particular vehicle, use the universal tether anchor kit provided with your Safe Embrace® Convertible Car Seat.
