1-B Welcome to the Graco Family!
Your child’s safety depends on you. No car seat can guarantee protection from injury in every
situation, but proper use helps reduce the risk of serious injury or death.
Even if this car seat seems easy to figure out on your own, you must follow the detailed instructions
in this instruction manual to ensure all steps are preformed correctly.
1-C Height and Weight Guidelines
Note: Preterm or low birth weight infants may be at special risk in a vehicle or aircraft. According to the
AAP, these infants may suffer breathing issues if improperly reclined in a car seat. When rear-facing, use
the corrected age for preemies. Graco advises that you have your physician or hospital staff evaluate
your infant and recommend the proper car seat or car bed before you and your infant leave the hospital.
