LATCH Warnings – cont.
Rear-facing and Forward-facing Modes Only
• ALWAYS be sure that the
LATCH
connectors are fully
engaged onto the LATCH anchor points by pulling
hard on the LATCH straps. If they are not fully en-
gaged, the LATCH system 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) forward or side-to-side 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 re-
straint, try again or move it to another location.
Tether Strap Warnings
Forward-facing and Booster Use Only
• 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. 13). This will keep an unused
tether from hitting someone during a crash.
Additional Warnings
Rear-facing, Forward-facing, and Booster Use
• In hot or sunny weather, ALWAYS check the seat,
buckle, LATCH hooks, and adjuster for hot areas before
placing a child into the child restraint. The child could
be burned. Cover the child restraint with a light col-
ored 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 LATCH connectors. An unsecured child
restraint may injure someone if a crash occurs.
•
DO NOT use the cup holder to store cans or hard
cups.
Only for use with soft cups (such as styrofoam
or paper).
