4. Selecting a Suitable Location for the Car Seat

Following are some basic recommendations for both use modes of the car seat. See section 5, “Use of the Car Seat with the Built-in Harness” (page 15) for more information about a safe location for the car seat in that mode.

According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in rear vehicle seating positions, rather than front seating positions. For a

vehicle with a front passenger air bag, refer to
your vehicle owner’s manual as well as these
instructions for car seat installation.
We recommend that,
whenever possible, you
secure the car seat in the
center position of the

seat directly behind the front seats . However, this position is often only equipped with a lap belt and cannot be used when this car seat is used without the built-in harness.

If you want to use the tether, locate a seating position equipped with tether anchors. If your vehicle does not have a tether anchor, it may be possible to install one. Contact your vehicle dealership for the proper anchor location and installation. A tether anchor parts kit may be purchased by calling Graco Customer Service at 1-888-224-6549.
