LATCH: Comes with a single attached LATCH strap. Earlier models which are
not LATCH-equipped may be installed using Dorel Cosco’s LATCH retro-fit kit if
made in 1996 or later (see also separate instructions for kit). Thread the strap
through the appropriate belt path for rear-facing or forward-facing. To switch the
LATCH belt from the one belt path to the other, thread it through the hole in back
of shell (diagram 4). If not in use, hook LATCH connectors together behind seat
to prevent them from striking anyone. Lower LATCH bars may be used in
center seating position when the position is designated as a LATCH location
in vehicle owner's manual or when vehicle manufacturer permits the use of
the outboard bars (refer to Safe Ride News LATCH manual).

Tether

: Yes, for forward-facing use only. There are three adjustment

versions. If there are two double-slotted metal slides, thread as shown in diagrams 5–6. If there
is one metal slide with three slots, thread as shown in diagram 7. In either case,
the seat is sold with the tether unattached; attach strap to seat as shown in
diagram 8. Some models have a tilt-lock adjuster; simply pull on strap end to
tighten. When the tether is not in use, secure the tether hook under the base
or recline stand. See full manufacturer’s instructions for additional guidelines
on adjusting tether strap snugly and storing when not in use.

Other

: On some models, the two portions of the latch plate must be joined together

before inserting in buckle (diagram 9).
Pads on shoulder straps may come with seat. However, they may
interfere with correct placement of chest clip on smaller babies. Pads may
either be threaded through shoulder strap slots until they no longer
interfere with chest clip or removed.
Infant inserts and “head huggers” provided with the seat may be
removed to prevent these potential problems: pushes head forward (could
obstruct airway for newborn); interferes with harness; too wide for newborn;
too narrow for older baby.
The Scenera has a similar appearance, but is wider. The Scenera
has four harness slots instead of three and also has three crotch strap
positions instead of one. See separate instructions for the Scenera .
DOREL brands include: COSCO, EDDIE BAUER, SAFETY 1st,
ALPHA ELITE and ALPHA SPORT. Model names may apply to any one or
more of these brands. Some model names may be discontinued. The
Comfort Ride name was used for a different model under the Cosco brand
from 1991-1995. The brand name for the current model is Safety 1st. The
Deluxe Convertible name for this model was discontinued in 1995. For Deluxe Convertible
models made after 1995, see separate instructions for Dorel Enspira/Deluxe Convertible.

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
