WARNING

Failure to follow these warnings, instructions
and labels on the child restraint could result
in serious injury or death.

A child’s safety is your responsibility.
NEVER leave your child unattended.

Read all instructions before use of this
child restraint or installation in a vehicle.
In addition, read the vehicle owner’s
manual for information on child restraint
installation.

Use the bottom of the base for storage of
the instruction manual.

Register your child restraint with the
manufacturer.

This child restraint can ONLY be used in a
rear facing position when using in a vehicle.
The child restraint cannot be properly
secured in a forward facing position, and
will be unsafe. Use only with children who
weigh between 4 and 32 pounds (2 and

14.5 kg) and whose height is 32 inches (81
cm) or less. Exceeding these height and
weight limits is unsafe.

Cover the child restraint when your vehicle
is parked in sunlight. Parts of a child
restraint can become very hot if left in the
sun, and can burn a child’s skin. Check for
hot parts before putting your child in the
child restraint.

Secure this child restraint with the vehicle’s
child restraint anchorage system if
available, or with a vehicle belt.

Replace this child restraint if it has been
involved in a crash, even if it was minor and
there appears to be no damage to the child
restraint.

Snugly adjust the belts provided with
this child restraint around your child. If
straps are not snugly adjusted, child may
be ejected from seat in the event of an
accident.

A snug strap should not allow any slack.
It lies in a relatively straight line without
sagging. It does not press on the child’s
flesh or push the child’s body into an
unnatural position.

EXPIRATION DATE Check the label on the
underside of the base or child restraint for
expiration date information.

FALL HAZARD Child’s activity can move
carrier. NEVER place carrier on counter
tops, tables, or any other elevated surface.
Always stay within arm’s reach whenever
carrier is not on floor/ground. Be sure
handle locks into position before lifting
carrier.

STRANGULATION HAZARD Children
have strangled in loose or partially buckled
harness straps. Fully restrain the child even
when carrier is used outside the vehicle.

SUFFOCATION HAZARD Infant carrier can
roll over on soft surfaces and suffocate
child. Never place carrier on beds, sofas, or
other soft surfaces.

ALWAYS check child restraint to base
connection.

DO NOT allow anyone who has not read the
instruction manual to install or use this child
restraint.

DO NOT allow child restraint or handle to
contact the vehicle interior (side of car door
or seat in front) when installed on base.

DO NOT use child restraint if it has frayed
or cut harness straps, or is damaged in
any way. To find out if damaged parts are
replaceable, call 1-855-NUNA-USA.

DO NOT use any products or accessories
with this child restraint unless they are
approved by Nuna for use with this child
restraint. Doing so may be unsafe and may
void the warranty.

DO NOT leave child restraint and base
in vehicle when uninstalled, even when
unoccupied. In a crash, it could become
a projectile and injure other vehicle
occupants.

NEVER modify any part of the child restraint.
NEVER use clothing or blankets that

interfere with providing a properly
tightened harness. An unsecured or
improperly harnessed child can come out of
the restraint during a crash. Place blankets
over child AFTER harness has been
properly tightened.

NEVER place carrier on top of a shopping
cart. Carrier will not be properly secured
and could fall.

Only use with Nuna strollers or appropriate
Nuna adapters designed for use with other
strollers.

Vehicle Compatibility

You MUST read and understand ALL child restraint
related instructions and warnings in your vehicle
owner’s manual to correctly and safely use this
child restraint in your vehicle.

This child restraint can ONLY be installed on
vehicle seats that face forward. DO NOT install in
seats that face to the sides or rear of the vehicle.

NEVER install this child restraint rear facing in a
vehicle seating position with a frontal air bag unless
it is turned off. Airbags inflate with great force and
can cause severe injury to a child’s neck and spine.
If your vehicle is equipped with passenger side air
bags, check your vehicle owner’s manual for child
restraint installation instructions.

According to accident statistics, children are
safer when properly restrained in the rear seating
positions than in the front seating positions.

Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual to determine
if the belts in your vehicle lock by switching the
seat belt’s retractor OR if they have a locking latch
plate that locks the vehicle’s seat belt so they will
hold the child restraint tightly without loosening.
