Graco 8480 owner manual When the Car Seat is Not Occupied

THIS RESTRAINT is certified for use in Motor Vehicles. It is certified for use in Aircraft only when used with the built-in harness. When used as a booster without the harness, this restraint is not certified for use in aircraft. For aircraft use see section 5.5, “Using the Car Seat in an Airplane” on page 35.

CONTINUOUS USE OF A CAR SEAT may cause damage to a vehicle seat. To protect vehicle upholstery, use a car seat mat, towel or thin blanket under the seat.

2.3When the Car Seat is Not Occupied

NEVER LEAVE A CAR SEAT UNSECURED IN YOUR VEHICLE. When you are not using the car seat, either remove it or make sure that it is securely belted in the vehicle. An unsecured car seat can be thrown around and may injure occupants in the event of a sharp turn, sudden stop or crash.

PARTS OF THE CAR SEAT CAN BECOME VERY HOT if the seat is left in the sun. Contact with these parts can burn your child’s skin. Cover the car seat with a blanket if it will be exposed to the sun, and always touch the surface of any metal or plastic parts before putting your child in the car seat.

WHEN NOT USING THE CAR SEAT for long periods, store it in a plastic bag in a cool, dark, dry place.
