NEVER install this rear-facing car seat in a vehicle seating location equipped with an airbag. The airbag impact can cause severe head injury or death. If your vehicle is equipped with a passenger airbag, please refer to your vehicle owner’s manual for child restraint installation instructions.
NEVER install and secure your child (Birth- 9 kg, 20 lbs) in this car seat facing the front of the vehicle. You must install the car seat in the rear-facing position to avoid serious neck injuries in a sudden stop or crash.
NEVER allow the harness shoulder straps to be loose around your child. If the harness shoulder straps are not snug against your child, your child will not be properly restrained.
WARNING

NEVER dress your child in clothing that interferes with fasten­ing the harness latch plate into the latch located between your child’s legs. If you do not properly fasten and adjust the harness, your child could eject from the car seat in a crash.
NEVER leave an unsecured car seat or base in your vehicle. If left unsecured, even when not occupied, the car seat or base could injure other occupants in a sudden stop or crash.
NEVER use the car seat or the base after either is involved in a crash. A crash can cause damage to the car seat or the base that you cannot see.

IMPORTANT!
• Please read this entire manual carefully before using this car seat. Keep this manual under the car seat, using the clips provided.
• This child restraint system conforms to all applicable Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (section 213.1) and is certified for use in motor vehicles and aircraft.
• This car seat is intended for use by children birth to 9 kg (20 lbs) and up to 74 cm (29") in height.
• The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that infants be secured in a rear-facing car seat until they are at least one year of age and 9 kg (20 lbs) to reduce the risk of cervical spine injury in the event of a crash. Since an infant’s head size is very large relative to body size and the neck is still developing strength, a rear-facing car seat is safer because it better supports an infant’s head and back in the event of a frontal crash.
• This car seat is NOT designed to be attached to a shopping cart. It does not include an attachment mechanism.
• Complete the registration card attached to the car seat and mail it in today!

IMPORTANT!
• This car seat includes a locking clip (stored on this car seat) for use with a par­ticular vehicle belt system. Always attach the locking clip to a vehicle lap and shoulder belt system with a sliding latch plate. Please refer to pages 14 -17 to help identify this type of vehicle belt system and instructions beginning on page 35 (installation with base) or 48 (installation without base) for locking clip use.
• Store the locking clip under the car seat, using the clip provided, for future use.
• Fisher-Price®recommends that child restraints be replaced after eight years to provide the best assurance that the child restraint is: in reliable working condition; well-suited for use in constantly changing automobile interior designs; and reasonably current in relation to Canadian regulations. When you replace your car seat for any reason, make sure that another child can no longer use it by disposing of it properly.

What Kind of Vehicle Belt System Do You Have?
There are many different types of vehicle belt systems. Some vehicle belt systems can never be used to install this car seat. Check your vehicle to determine which type of vehicle belt system or systems it has.
Many vehicles have more than one type of vehicle belt system. For example, you may find lap-only belts in center seating locations and lap and shoulder belts in side seating locations. If you are not sure which type of vehicle belt system you have, contact your vehicle dealer or manufacturer.
The illustrations on pages 16 and 17 show vehicle belt systems that can never be used to install the car seat and vehicle belt systems that are acceptable for use. If you do not have a seating location with a usable vehicle belt system, DO NOT use the car seat. Contact your vehicle manufacturer. The vehicle manufacturer may be able to install a vehicle belt system that will enable you to install the car seat properly. NEVER alter your vehicle belt system yourself.
