7.0 Height and Weight Limitations

FAILURE TO USE CHILD RESTRAINT IN A MANNER APPROPRIATE FOR YOUR CHILD’S SIZE MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. Instructions for the use of this child restraint differ greatly depending on the size of your child. Be sure you are using the child restraint in the correct mode and with the correct features for your child.

7.1 WITH Built-In Harness

Your child must meet all requirements:

‡Weight: 20 to 70 lbs (mass between 9 and 31.8 kg)

‡ Height: 27 to 52 inches (69 and 132 cm) in height ‡ At least one year old and can sit upright unassisted ‡ The harness straps must be EVEN with or just

ABOVE the child’s shoulders.

7.2 WITHOUT Built-in Harness

Your child must meet all requirements:

‡Weight: 30 to 100 lbs

(mass between 13.6 and 45 kg) ‡ Height: 38 to 57 inches

(96 and 145 cm) in height

‡ Approximately 3-10 years of age

‡ The shoulder belt MUST lie across child’s shoulder as shown and the lap portion of the belt is positioned low on the child’s hips.

‡Child’s ears are BELOW top of head support.

If tops of ears are above top of head support, child is too large for seat.

If child is between 30 and 70 lbs (13.6 and

31.8kg) and shoulders are below the shoulder belt guides, we highly recommend use of the built-in harness for as long as possible (up to 70 lbs (31.8 kg).
