Child Rest raint Use Vehicle Seating Position

Do not use this child restraint unless the child is 22-80 lb (10.1- 36.3 kg) and 34-52 in. (85.1- 132.1 cm ).

Never take your child out of the child restraint w hile the vehicle is moving.

Never leave child unattended. Placing your child in a hot child restraint may result in

burns. Do not use a child restraint w ith dam aged or missing parts. Do not use cut, frayed or damaged harnesses. Do not substitute parts or try t o modify the child restraint in

any w ay. Do not lubricate buckles and fasteners. Do not use any child restraint accessory except those ap-

proved by Dorel Juvenile Group. Never allow any child to play with this child restraint; it is

not a toy. Do not remove or cover up any of the warning labels or

other labels on the child restraint. Read all instructions for additional warnings. On the side of the child restraint there is a date of manufac-

ture label. Do not use t his child restraint more than 10 years after the date of manufact ure.

Installation in Vehicle

Check the vehicle belt or LATCH belt before each use. Use only if the belt is tight ened properly and locked securely in place.

This child restraint should be securely belt ed in the vehicle even w hen not in use. In a crash or sudden stop, an unsecured child restraint could injure occupants.

Do not use a child restraint that has been in a crash. You must get a new child restraint.

Check the vehicle owner’s manual for more infor mat ion about air bag/ child restraint use.

Use the child restraint only on vehicle seats that face forward.

Do not use on seats that face the sides or rear of the vehicle.

Use the center seating posit ion if possible.

For vehicles without a back seat, refer to your vehicle ow ner’s m anual.

If you are not sure where to place the child restraint in your vehicle, consult your vehicle owner’s manual, contact Dorel Juvenile Group Consumer Relations Department, or visit your local Child Passenger Inspection Station. Go to http:// www.safercar.gov/cpsApp/cps/ index. htm to f ind your closest station.

Children are safer when properly restrained in rear seating positions than in the front seating posit ions.

According to National Highw ay Trafﬁ c Safety Administrat ion in-

formation, children in rear seating positions are statistically safer, whet her you have air bags, advanced air bags, or no air bags at all.

To avoid your child being seriously burned, take the following precautions:

1. Park in the shade or where sun does not directly hit the child

restraint.

2. Cover the child restraint with a sheet or blanket when not in use.

3. Check for hot seat and buckles before placing child in child

restraint. To help protect your vehicle seat’s upholstery from damage, use a

single layer towel underneath and behind child restraint.

Understanding Your Vehicle Choosing LATCH or Vehicle Belts

LATCH Anchors

Located in the seat bight. (Forward Facing with Internal Harness Only)

Tether Anchors

For Tether Strap (Forward Facing with Internal Harness Only)

Vehicle Seat Belts

Your vehicle’s features may be considerably different than those pictured here.

Seat Bight

Consult your vehicle owner’s manual to help identify your vehicle’s speciﬁ c features and locations.

The LATCH System

LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) is a universal system for installing child restraints without using vehicle seat belts.

The LATCH system can ONLY be used in vehicles that have the LATCH anchor bars

installed and designated LATCH seating positions. Most vehicles m anufactured after September 2 00 2 are equipped w ith LATCH. Check your vehicle owner’s m anual to see whic h seating positions may be equipped with the LATCH system.

When installing this child restraint with vehicle belts or when using as a booster seat, the LATCH hooks and belt M UST be properly stored.

To store

LATCH on this child restraint: Thread

LATCH belt through forward facing belt path and fasten LATCH hooks t ogether behind the child restraint as show n. Gently pull free end of belt to remove slack.

Vehicle Belts

If LATCH is not an option, you must use the vehicle seat belt system to install the child restraint.

There are some vehicle belts that will not work with a child restraint or will require special attention.

Check your vehicle owner’s m anual for specif ic instructions.

Page 13

Knowing Your Vehicle Belts

Review your vehicle owner’s manual for vehic le seat belt use with child restraints. This is your best source for inform ation concerning your vehicle.

Not all vehicle belts will work with this child restraint. This child restraint must be tightly locked in place at all tim es. You m ust determ ine if your vehicle’s belts are compatible with this child restraint.

Vehicle Belts

• Automatic/ Passive vehicle seat belts

You

MUST have a lap belt to install any child

restraint. An automatic (passive) shoulder belt may or m ay not have a separate lap belt.

• Do not use with inflatable seat belts

You may need to move the child restraint to another seating location or use LATCH belts only.

• Vehicle belts in center of the door or side panel

You must move the child restraint t o another seating location.

• Vehicle belts that are in front of the seat

bight

You may need to move the child restraint to another seating location.

• ELR (Emergency Locking Retractor) vehicle belts

These belts only lock in a sudden stop or crash, and do not properly secure a child restraint alone.

To determine if you have this type of belt, gently pull the belt all the

way out of the retractor (spool), let it return several inches, then pull

on it again. If it moves freely, it is an ELR belt. If it is locked and will not allow any more belt to com e out, it is a switchable retractor.

If you have an ELR lap and shoulder belt, review the “Vehicle Latc h Plate” section on page 20 to see if

you need a locking clip.

WARNING: ELR lap-only belts MUST NOT be used w ith this

child restraint.

• Switchable Retractor

These belts switch from ELR to ALR (Automatic Locking Retractor). You

MUST have t he vehicle belts in the locking mode to use them .

With a switchable retractor, pull the shoulder belt all the way out to switch the retractor into the ALR mode before tightening.

Feed the slack back into the retractor while tightening.

• ALR (Automatic Locking Retractor)

These belts lock after pulling the webbing out and letting the belt go back into the retractor an inch or tw o.

With an ALR belt, pull the belt all the way out before threading through the child restraint.

Vehicle Latch Plates

• Check Latch Plates

Grasp the tongue port ion of the latch plate (the part that goes inside the buckle) and pull st raight out, in line with the lap belt.

If the latch plate does not slide up and down the vehicle belt, you have a lock ing latch plate. You should not need to use a locking clip.

Check your vehicle owner’s m anual to determ ine the best way to lock a child restraint in place and wether the latch plate or retractor w ill accom plish this. If the latch plate slides up and dow n on the belt, and you have an ELR retractor, you

MUST use a locking clip to install the

child restraint. See pages 3 1-3 2.

You may not need to use the locking clip with a switchable or ALR retractor.

(2.5 cm)

5. Check Belt Tightness

Hold child restraint at the belt path

with your weakest hand.

Push and pull from side to side.

If it moves more than 1 in. (2.5 cm),

try reinstalling the child restraint or try

another seating location.

You will rarely need to use a locking clip except in some older vehicles.

Built-in child restraint locking systems have been required in vehicles since 19 96, and m any vehicles had these features even earlier. Review pages 19- 20 and your vehicle owner’s manual to determine if your vehicle belts require a locking clip.

If you need a locking clip im mediately, they are likely available at an auto dealership, an auto store, or where you purchased this child restraint. You can also email us at [email protected] or call us at 1 -800- 544-1 108 for one.

A locking clip will not fix all types of seat belt problems. You

MUST have a lap and shoulder belt to use a locking clip. Do not use the locking clip w hen using this seat as a

booster seat.

For Forward Facing installation, follow Pages 27- 28

Warnings and Steps 1- 4 before starting locking clip installation.

1. Determine Locking Clip Position

Grasp both vehicle belts together just behind the latch plate to mark the position for locking clip.

Unbuckle the belt.

NOTE: If the latch plate ends up just

at the belt path opening so you cannot grasp the vehicle belt at the latch plate, grasp the vehicle belts on the opposite side of the child restraint, as close to the latch plate as possible.

2. Attach Locking Clip

Thread both portions of the vehicle

belt onto the locking clip, as close to

the latch plate as possible.

Remove the locking clip when the seat belt is not being used with a child restraint .

Thank you for choosing this child restraint. The DJG family is committed to creating child restraints with the most com fort and convenience available today.

Remember, parents are a child’s first teachers and examples. If you always buckle your seat belt, your child will think it is the natural thing to do.

Make it a firm rule that the vehicle does not go until everyone is buckled up. Make no exceptions.

No one can predict if use of a child restraint will prevent injury or death in a particular crash. However, when com bined with careful driving, proper use of a child restraint can lower a child’s risk of injury or death in most crashes.

Your child’s safety is worth the time it will take to read and follow these instructions. After reading, if you still have questions or have any concerns with this child restraint, please contact our Consumer Relations Department at:
