Air Bag Warnings
• DO NOT use this restraint in the front seat of a vehicle
equipped with an air bag. Air bags may cause serious
injury or death to children 12 years of age and under.
If your vehicle has an air bag, refer to your vehicle owner’s
manual for child restraint installation.
• If the rear seat of your vehicle is equipped with side air
bags, refer to the following information for proper usage:
Vehicles built prior to the 2002 model year
DO NOT use this restraint in a vehicle seating position
equipped with a side air bag unless authorized by the
vehicle manufacturer.
Model year 2002 and newer vehicles
Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual before placing this
restraint in a seating position equipped with a side air bag.
• DO NOT place any objects between the restraint and the
side air bag, as an expanding air bag may cause the items
to strike your child.
Location Warnings
• According to statistics, children are safer when properly
restrained in a rear seating position than in the front
seating position. Generally, the center rear position is
safest and should be used if available. Children 12 and
under should ride in the back seat of the vehicle.
• ONLY use this child restraint on forward facing vehicle
seats. DO NOT use this restraint with vehicle seats which
face the rear or side.
• ONLY use this child restraint on vehicle seats with backs
that lock into place.
•
Some child restraints do not fit all vehicles or all seating
locations. There are many thousands of combinations of
vehicle makes, models, child restraint configurations, seat
belt designs and seat cushion shapes. The easiest way to
determine whether your child restraint is suitable for a
particular seating position is to check for a tight installation.
If the child restraint can not be properly installed, DO NOT
use the child restraint. Consult vehicle owner’s manual, try a
different seating location or call Evenflo at 1-800-233-5921.
Premature Infants
• DO NOT use this or any child restraint with a premature
infant until after consulting your doctor. Premature infants
may have difficulty breathing when in a sitting position.
Rear-facing Warnings
•
DO NOT use this child restraint rear-facing in a vehicle
equipped with lap belts that only lock during a sudden stop
or crash (emergency locking retractors). 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 emergency
locking retractors.
• When using this restraint rear-facing, DO NOT loosen
the vehicle seat belt to provide more leg room as this will
prevent the child restraint from protecting your child.
•
DO NOT use the highest set of harness slots rear-facing. The
harness
will not properly restrain the child during a crash.
• Fold-down armrests could pose a hazard to a rear-facing
child in certain types of collisions. Consult your vehicle
owner’s manual before installing any rear-facing child
restraint in front of a fold-down armrest.
• NEVER turn a child restraint forward facing with an infant
weighing less than 20 lbs (9 kg) or less than one year of
age, crash forces may cause serious injury or death.
• The headrest on the vehicle seat that the child faces when
sitting in the rear facing mode should be placed in the
lowest position. The vehicle seat back that the child faces
must be fully padded and free of any hard objects.
