WARNING

Proper installation and use depends on you! If you do
not follow the instructions in this manual and the labels
on the car seat, paying particular attention to the warn­ing statements, your child could be at risk of striking the
vehicle’s interior during a sudden stop or crash, resulting
in serious injury or death.

ALWAYS secure this car seat with your vehicle belt system

exactly as described in this manual. Refer also to your vehicle
owner’s manual for specific information on your vehicle belt
system and specific instructions on how to install a car seat
in your vehicle.

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

5

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.

• If you have any questions about proper use of your car seat or would like
to order replacement parts, please call

exactly as described in this manual. Refer also to your vehicle

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.
