Important Information
Location Warnings – cont.
Rear-facing and Forward-facing Use
If the child restraint cannot be properly installed, DO
NOT use the child
restraint. Consult vehicle owner’s
manual, try a different seating location, or call Evenflo for
further assistance.
• ONLY use this child restraint on forward-facing
vehicle seats. DO NOT use this restraint with
vehicle seats that face the rear or side.
• ONLY use this child restraint on vehicle seats with backs
that lock into place.
Premature Infants
Rear-facing and Forward-facing Use
• 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 seated or semi-reclined position. Using additional
padding or pillows behind the infant’s head or failing
to properly recline the child restraint could increase the
child’s risk of serious injury or death.
Rear-facing Position Warnings
Rear-facing
Use
Only
• 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 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.
• 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 the 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 who weighs less than 10 kg (22 lbs) or is less
than one year of age. Crash forces may cause
serious injury or death.
Rear-facing Position Warnings
Rear-facing
Use
Only
• DO NOT use the tether strap when the child restraint
is in the rear-facing position.
• 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.
Forward-facing Position Warnings
Forward-facing Use Only
• If your child weighs more than 18 kg (40 lbs) or their
shoulders are above the highest harness level, you MUST
discontinue using this child restraint as it may no longer
adequately protect your child.
•
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.
