Registration Information

Safety First Check List

LATCH

This car seat may be installed in a vehicle using either the vehicle seat belt or the LATCH system (for vehicles equipped with

LATCH).

READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY.

Page 4

WARNINGS - Prevent serious injury or death:

Failure to follow these instructions and car seat labels can result in child striking the vehicle’s interior during a sudden stop or crash. Secure car seat with a vehicle seat belt or LATCH that is properly routed as shown in this manual.

Select a suitable location for the car seat in your vehicle.

Choose the correct mode of use for the car seat depending on your child’s size. Infants less than 20 lbs. (9.1 kg) must use this car seat

rear-facing. Serious crippling injury

or death can result if infant faces front of vehicle. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children should be at least one year of age before being positioned forward facing.

Vehicle seat belt system MUST hold car seat securely. Not all vehicle seat belts can be used with a car seat. If vehicle seat belt does not hold car seat securely, read “Vehicle Seat Belts” section.

DO NOT use rear-facing child

restraint in a vehicle seating position equipped with an air bag. Child’s head and neck may be seriously injured when an inflating air bag hits back of child restraint.

Never put a car seat in a front vehicle seat unless recommended by vehicle owner’s manual. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) alerts vehicle owners that according to accident statistics, children up to age 12 are safer in the back seat. For vehicles with air bags, refer to vehicle owner’s manual for car seat installation information.

Page 5

WARNINGS - Prevent serious injury or death (continued):

If car seat is in a crash, it must be replaced. DO NOT use it again! A crash can cause unseen damage and using it again could result in serious injury or death.

DO NOT use car seat if it is damaged

or missing parts.

DO NOT use accessories or parts

other than those provided by Century or Graco. Their use could alter the performance of the car seat.

Rear-facing car seat must be

properly leveled:

• Too reclined can result in injury or ejection.

• Too upright can result in breathing difficulties.

Insert the harness straps in the proper slots for your child. Never leave child unattended, even when sleeping. Child may become tangled in harness straps and suffocate or strangle.

DO NOT remove LATCH system from child restraint. If using vehicle seat belt to secure child restraint, LATCH connectors must be stored. (see section “LATCH storage”)

Never attach two

LATCH connectors to

one vehicle lower anchor point unless specifically allowed by the vehicle manufacturer.

Page 6

Seat Crease

Typical seat in a passenger vehicle. Other vehicle types may have different

LATCH locations.

United States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards have defined a new system for installing car seats in vehicles. The system is called LATCH. LATCH stands for:

ower Anchorage and Tether for CH ildren.

LATCH System for Vehicles:

LATCH in the vehicle consists of a top tether

anchor point and two lower anchor points.

Some vehicle owner manuals use the term ISOFIX to identify the new car seat anchorage system. LATCH can also be used in vehicle seating positions equipped with ISOFIX.

Newer vehicles may have one or more seating positions equipped with LATCH anchor points.

If vehicle is equipped with LATCH, the vehicle lower anchor points may be visible at the vehicle seat crease. If not visible, they may be marked with a symbol (Fig. a) or a colored dot. See your

vehicle owner’s manual for exact locations, anchor identification, and requirements for use with a car seat.

Check vehicle owner’s manual for vehicle top tether anchor locations. They may be identified using one of the anchor symbols (Fig. b or

Fig. c).

VEHICLE SEAT BELTS

To provide the most secure installation of the car seat:

• Read the vehicle owner’s manual regarding car seat installation and seat belt use with car seat.

• Follow all instruction labels on vehicle seat belt and car seat.

If car seat is not held securely after following instructions in this manual, vehicle seat belt labels, and vehicle owner’s manual:

• Move car seat to another seating location and try again, or

• Contact vehicle dealer for possible seat belt modification parts.

WARNING

Not all vehicle seat belts can be used with a car seat. The car seat must be held securely at all times by a lap belt (or lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder belt) that will not change length while driving.

Page 28

Vehicle seat belts located forward of seat crease may not securely hold car seat. Check vehicle owner’s manual or see vehicle dealer for car seat installation requirements.

• If approved for use with car seat, install car seat and check for secure installation by pulling car seat front to back. If car seat slides forward, DO NOT use these seat belts.

Lap belts with retractors may or may not hold a car seat securely.

Follow these steps to determine if you have a retractor system that will hold car seat securely:

a. Pull belt all the way out. b. Allow belt to retract about 6 inches (15 cm). c. Pull out on belt again.

If belt is locked and you cannot pull the belt out any further, you have an Automatic Locking Retractor which may be used with a car seat. Remember, when installing a car seat, pull belt all the way out, buckle belt, and then tighten.

If you can pull the belt out again (Step c above), you have an Emergency Locking Retractor which MUST NOT be used with a car seat.

The locking latch plate on some seat belts may slip and loosen after being buckled on car seat if positioned at a certain angle. If this happens, flip latch plate over (fig. a) and re-buckle. Test installation again to see if this works. If not, move car seat to another seating position.
