WARNING WARNING
Forward-facing Position Warnings – continued
Forward-facing Use Only
• DO NOT use the lowest set of harness slots forward-
facing. The harness will not properly restrain the child
during a crash.
• Adjust, or remove, the vehicle headrest, in the seat
where the child restraint is to be installed, so that
the back of the child restraint rests against the vehicle
seat back.
• The headrest on the vehicle seat in front of the child
should be put in its lowest position. The vehicle seat back
that the child faces must be fully padded and
free of any hard objects.
Seat Belt Warnings
Rear-facing and Forward-facing Use
• DO NOT use this child restraint if it moves more than
25 mm (1 inch) side to side or front to back at either
the rear-facing or forward-facing belt path on the
child restraint. Serious injury or death may result from
poor installation. If you cannot tightly secure the child
restraint, try again or move it to another location.
• DO NOT use this child restraint in a seating position with
door-mounted seat belts.
• DO NOT use this child restraint in a vehicle with seat
belts that automatically move along the vehicle frame
when the door is opened. These seat belts will not hold a
child restraint properly.
• DO NOT use this child restraint in a vehicle equipped
with lap belts that only lock during a sudden stop or
crash (emergency locking retractor – ELR). You must use
a seating location with a locking seat belt. Check your
vehicle owner’s manual to see if you have lap belts with
ELRs.
• If the vehicle seat belts are not routed and fastened
correctly, the child restraint may not protect the child in a
crash.
• DO NOT allow the vehicle seat belt release button to
touch the child restraint. Accidental contact may cause
the seat belt to release. If necessary, turn the seat belt
release button away from the child restraint or move the
child restraint to a different location.
• Failure to adjust the harness or vehicle seat belts snugly
around the child may result in the child striking the
vehicle’s interior during a sudden stop or crash. Serious
injury or death may occur.
LATCH Warnings
Rear-facing and Forward-facing Use
• Do not use the lower anchors of the child restraint
anchorage system (LATCH System) to attach this child
restraint when restraining a child weighing more than
24.9 kg (55 lbs.) with the internal harnesses of the child
restraint.
• The LATCH system is intended to be used ONLY as
described in these instructions. Serious injury or death
may result from misuse. LATCH (Lower Anchors and
Tethers for CHildren) is a system for attaching the child
restraint to your vehicle seat. It can be used in place of
the seat belts in vehicles with vehicle lower anchor bars.
Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual for the locations
of the vehicle lower anchor bars. Note: Your vehicle
owner’s manual may refer to this system as “Universal
Anchorage System,” “Lower Universal Anchorage
System,”or ”ISOFIX.”
• In addition to these instructions, read and follow your
vehicle owner’s manual regarding installation of the child
restraint and LATCH. If there is a discrepancy,
follow your vehicle owner’s manual.
• ONLY use for securing child restraint to vehicle lower
anchor bars.
• NEVER attach two lower anchor connectors to one
vehicle lower anchor bar.
• NEVER use the vehicle seat belts when using the Lower
anchor connector assembly. Using both together can
cause slack in a sudden stop or crash.
• To avoid strangulation, you must store the unused LATCH
harness, with all slack removed, in the storage area on
the back of the seat. Roll or fold the excess LATCH strap
and secure with a rubber band to prevent serious injury
to vehicle occupants.
• ALWAYS be sure that the lower anchor connectors are
attached to the vehicle lower anchor bars by pulling hard
on the lower anchor connectors. If they are not attached,
the lower anchor connector assembly will not secure your
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 either
the rear-facing or forward-facing belt path on the
child restraint. Serious injury or death may result from
poor installation. If you cannot tightly secure the child
restraint, try again or move it to another location.
