!WARNING

Failure to follow these warnings can result in the serious injury or death of your child. To help you recognize those instructions which are most critical for your child’s safety, we use this symbol:

According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating positions.

Never place a child rear-facing in a seating position with an active frontal airbag.

This child restraint must always face the rear of the vehicle and be in the fully reclined position when the child weighs between 5-35 lbs. (2.3-16 kg) and is less than one year old.

Never place a child less than one-year old forward facing.

Check vehicle instructions for more information about air bag/child restraint use.

Make sure the harness height is correct for your child’s size.

The harness strap must be snug.

Never take your child out of the child restraint or try to tend to your child’s needs while the vehicle is moving. Never leave child unattended.

!WARNING

The vehicle or LATCH belt must stay tight at the belt path.When you switch from one mode to the next, review the sections of this instruction manual that apply to that mode. If you don’t, your child could be injured or killed.

Do not use a child restraint with damaged or missing parts.

Do not use cut, frayed or damaged harnesses.

Do not lubricate buckles and fasteners.

Do not substitute parts or try to modify the child restraint in any way.

Do not use a child restraint that has been in a crash.You must get a new child restraint.

Use the child restraint only on vehicle seats that face forward. Do not use on seats that face the sides or rear of the vehicle.

Check the vehicle or LATCH belt before each use. Use only if the belt can be tightened properly and securely.

This child restraint should be securely belted in the vehicle even when not in use. In a crash or sudden stop, an unsecured child restraint could injure other occupants.
