WARNING WARNING
For 5-point Harness Use Only

LATCH Warnings – continued
• ALWAYS be sure that the
Lower Anchor
Hooks are fully
engaged onto the vehicle lower anchor bars by pulling
hard on the Lower Anchor Strap. If they are not totally
engaged, the Lower Anchors will not secure the child
restraint. Serious injury or death may result.
• DO NOT use this child restraint if it moves more than
25 mm (1 inch) side to side or front to back at the vehicle
belt path on the child restraint. Serious injury or death
may result from poor installation. If you can not tightly
secure the child restraint, try again or move it to
another location.
Tether Strap Warnings
• To avoid a strangulation hazard, you MUST tightly roll
or fold excess or unused Tether Strap and secure with a
rubber band. Attach the Tether Hook to the storage clip
when not in use (p. 12). This will keep an unused Tether
from hitting someone during a crash.
Additional Warnings
• In hot or sunny weather, ALWAYS check the areas of the
child restraint that may contact your child (e.g., buckle,
buckle tongues, etc.) for hot areas before placing him/her
into the child restraint. The child could be burned. Cover
the child restraint with a light colored blanket when you
leave the vehicle.
• This child restraint must be securely fastened to the
vehicle, even when unoccupied, using the vehicle seat
belts or lower anchor connectors. An unsecured child
restraint may injure someone if a crash occurs.
• DO NOT use the cup holders to store cans or hard
cups. Only for use with soft cups (such as styrofoam
or paper).
• DO NOT place any cups that contain hot liquids in the
cup holders.
• DO NOT attach additional padding, toys, or other
devices not made by Evenflo or described in these
instructions for the child restraint. These items could
cause injury in a crash. Additional pads or pillows may
interfere with the function of the harness system, or
cause breathing problems if the child’s head falls forward,
increasing the risk of serious injury or death.
• In cold weather, DO NOT dress the child in bulky
clothing if the child is riding in a child restraint. Bulky
coats/snowsuits make it difficult to tighten the harness to
the child, which may allow the child to be ejected from
the restraint during a crash. If necessary, place a blanket
over the harnessed child without interfering with the
child restraint harness system.
• Everyone rides buckled up or the vehicle does not
go.
Make no exceptions for adults or children. If someone
unbuckles, stop the vehicle. Being firm and consistent from
the start will mean fewer discipline problems as children
get older. An unrestrained person can be thrown into and
injure other passengers.
• NEVER try to tend to a crying baby’s needs while driving.
• NEVER take a baby out of a child restraint for comforting
while the vehicle is moving.
• DO NOT allow a child in a vehicle to have objects such
as lollipops or ice cream on a stick. The object can injure
the child in a crash or if the vehicle swerves or hits a
bump.
• DO NOT feed an infant who is riding in a child
restraint.
• Put sharp or heavy items in the trunk. Anything loose can
cause injury in a crash.
