positions in your vehicle may not be safe for this child restraint. Some vehicles do not have any seating positions that can be used safely with the child restraint. If you are not sure where to place the child restraint in your vehicle, consult your vehicle owner’s manual or call Graco Children’s Products Inc., at 1-800-345-4109.

7.0 Choosing an Appropriate

Children are safer when properly restrained in rear vehicle seating positions.

Whenever possible secure the child restraint in the center position of the seat directly behind the front seats.

However, this position is sometimes equipped with a lap belt only and cannot be used when this child restraint is used without the built-in harness.

The vehicle seat must face forward. Do not use child restraints on rear-facing or side-facing vehicle seats.
