Before You Begin...
Table of Contents
Thank you for choosing this car seat, referred to
throughout this manual as a child restraint. The DJG
family is committed to creating a child restraint with the
most comfort 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,
combined 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 problems with this
child restraint, please contact our Consumer Relations

WARNING
Failure to follow these warnings can
result in the serious injury or death of
your child. To help you recognize those
instructions which are most critical for
your child’s safety, we use this symbol
!
WARNING
Do not use cut, frayed or damaged
harnesses.
Do not lubricate buckles and
:
fasteners.
According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating positions
than in the front seating positions.
Never place a child less than one-year
old forward-facing.
Check vehicle instructions for more
information about air bag/child restraint
use.
Make sure the harness height is
correct for your child’s size.
The harness must be snug.
The vehicle or LATCH belt must stay
tight at the belt path. When you switch
from one mode to the next, review the
sections of this instruction manual that
apply to that mode. If you don’t, your
child could be seriously injured or killed.
Never take your child out of the child
restraint or try to tend to your child’s
needs while the vehicle is moving. Never
leave child unattended.
Do not substitute parts or try to
modify the child restraint in any way.
Do not use a child restraint that has
been in a crash. You must get a new
child restraint.
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.
Check the vehicle or LATCH belt
before each use. Use only if the belt can
be tightened properly and securely.
This child restraint should be securely
belted in the vehicle even when not
in use. In a crash or sudden stop, an
unsecured child restraint could injure
other occupants.
Do not use this child restraint if the
midpoint of your child’s head is above
the top of the child restraint’s back.
Dorel Juvenile Group does not
recommend the use of any child restraint
accessories except those provided by DJG.
Do not use a child restraint with
damaged or missing parts.

WARNING
Secure the top anchorage strap
(tether) provided with this child
restraint as specified in both the vehicle
and child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions.
Do not remove any of the warning
labels or other labels on the child
restraint.
Placing your child in a hot child
restraint may result in burns.
Do not use this child restraint without
the seat pad.
Read instructions for other warnings.
General and Warm Weather Use
To help protect your vehicle seat’s upholstery from
damage, use a towel underneath and behind child restraint.
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.
Registration and Recall Information

Aircraft Installation
This restraint is certified for aircraft use only when used with
the internal harness. Do not use as a belt-positioning seat
because aircraft seats do not have shoulder belts. Use on
forward-facing aircraft seats only and in a position where the
lap belt can be tightened securely. This child restraint is installed
in an aircraft seat the same way it is installed in the vehicle.
Use the child restraint only with F.A.A. certified equipment.
Contact the airline prior to taking a child restraint on board in
4
order to comply with their specific regulations.
