WARNING
Take Time to Read This User Guide
Carefully read and understand all instructions and warnings in this User Guide. Your child’s safety depends on you knowing how to setup, install and use this child restraint properly.
Before installing this restraint in a vehicle, be sure to also check the vehicle owner’s manual for information on child restraint installation.
NEVER allow others to use this Child Restraint until they have read and understood all instructions in this User Guide. For future reference, keep this User Guide in storage door at rear of Base.
Make Sure Child Fits This Restraint
ONLY USE this Child Restraint with children who weigh between 4 and 30 pounds (2 and 13.5 kg) and whose height is 30 inches (76 cm) or less.
DO NOT use this child restraint if top of child’s head is less than 1 inch from top of restraint.
ONLY USE the Newborn Insert for infants who weigh between 4 and 11 pounds (2 and 5 kg).
DO NOT use Newborn Insert if child weighs more than 11 pounds.
WARNING
Secure Child Properly
Snugly adjust the harness around your child. A loose harness could cause the child to be ejected in a sudden stop or crash, resulting in serious injury or death.
NEVER use clothing or blankets that interfere with fastening or tightening the harness. An unsecured child could be ejected in a sudden stop or crash!
ALWAYS check to make sure buckle is securely latched. If buckle separates, child could be killed or seriously injured.
NEVER leave child unattended.
ALWAYS keep child properly secured in harness whenever child is in carrier.
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.
To keep child warm, place a blanket over child and restraint AFTER you have properly secured child in harness.

WARNING
Install Restraint Correctly
NEVER place this Child Restraint in a vehicle position that has a front airbag. An infant in a rear-facing child restraint could be killed by an airbag. Refer to vehicle owner’s manual before installing this restraint in a seating position with side airbags.
ALWAYS install rear-facing when using this Child Restraint in a vehicle. Your child could be killed or seriously injured if you install this restraint forward facing.
Install this Child Restraint in a rear vehicle seat if possible.
ONLY install this child restraint in forward facing vehicle seats.
NEVER install in rear facing or side facing vehicle seats.
NEVER use restraint in a vehicle seating position where it can not be secured tightly. A loosely installed child restraint will not protect your child in a crash.
WARNING
Install Restraint Correctly
ALWAYS secure this Child Restraint with the vehicle’s child
restraint anchorage system (LATCH) if available or with a vehicle belt.
BEFORE each use, ALWAYS check to make sure restraint is
tightly secured in the vehicle seat.
ALWAYS check for secure attachment of carrier each time you use this restraint. After latching Carrier into Base, lift up on Carrier to make sure that it is securely attached to Base. Child could be killed or seriously injured if Carrier is not securely latched to Base.
NEVER travel with this Child Restraint unsecured in a vehicle, even when it is unoccupied. An unsecured child restraint could injure other occupants in a sudden stop or crash.
ONLY use Chicco KeyFit infant child restraints with Chicco KeyFit bases.
According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions rather than in the front seating positions.
To ensure a correct installation of Child Restraint, you must follow
the step by step instructions in this User Guide.

WARNING
Ensure Child’s Safety When Using Carrier
