Keep this manual in the back pocket of the safety seat.

1. Warnings to Parents and Other Users

DO NOT install or use this safety seat until you read and understand the

instructions in this manual and in your vehicle owners manual. DO NOT let others install or use the safety seat unless they understand how to use it.

Failure to properly use this safety seat increases the risk of serious injury or death in a sharp turn, sudden stop or crash. Your childs safety depends on you installing and using this safety seat correctly.

Your childs safety depends on:

1. Choosing a suitable location in your vehicle. Some seating positions, such as those equipped with air bags, may not be safe locations for this safety seat.

2. Inserting the harness straps in the proper slots for your child.

3. Properly securing your child in the safety seat.

4. Placing safety seat/base in a rear-facing position.

5. Properly routing the vehicle seat belt.

6. Properly reclining the safety seat.

7. Properly securing the safety seat in the vehicle using a seat belt designed to restrain a safety seat. Many seat belts are NOT safe to use with safety seats, even though they can easily be threaded through the safety seat!

2. Registering Your Safety Seat

Dear Customer,

Please fill in the above information. The model and serial numbers can be found on a label underneath your safety seat.

Fill out the prepaid registration postcard attached to the seat pad and mail it today. Child restraints could be recalled for safety reasons. You must register this restraint to be reached in a recall. Send your name, address and serial number to:

Graco Childrens Products Inc. P.O. Box 100 Elverson, PA, 19520-9974 or call 1-888-224-6549.

For recall information, call the U.S. Governments Auto Safety Hotline at 1-800-424-9393 (202-366-0123 in D.C. area).

3. Important Safety Information

No safety seat can guarantee protection from injury. However, proper use of this safety seat reduces the risk of serious injury or death to your child.

3.1 About Your Child

THIS SAFETY SEAT IS DESIGNED for use only by children who weigh 20 lbs. (9 kg) or less and whose height is 26 inches (66 cm) or less. Using this safety seat with a child who is heavier than 20 lbs. or more than 26 inches in height may increase the risk of serious injury or death.

SOME SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN, such as pre-term babies, may be at increased risk of suffering breathing or other difficulties while reclined in a safety seat. If your child has special needs, we recommend that you have your physician or hospital staff evaluate your child and recommend the proper safety seat or car bed before using this product.

NEVER LEAVE YOUR CHILD UNATTENDED.

DO NOT dress your child in bulky clothing. Use clothing which allows the harness to securely latch between your childs legs.

3.2 About Using this Safety Seat in Your Vehicle

YOUR CHILD CAN BE INJURED in a vehicle even if you are not in a crash. Common events such as sudden braking and sharp turns can injure your child if the safety seat is not properly installed or if your child is not properly secured in the safety seat.

THERE ARE MANY KINDS of vehicles, seat belt systems, and occupant protection systems. As a result, it is not possible for this manual to tell you everything you need to know about putting this safety seat in your vehicle. You must carefully follow the instructions provided by your vehicle manufacturer, in addition to the information in this manual.

SOME VEHICLES do not have any safe location for this safety seat, and many vehicles have seat belt systems that must not be used with the safety seat because those systems will not safely hold the safety seat in place. Again, you must refer to both this manual and your vehicle owners manual for complete information.

NEVER COMBINE another manufacturers base or safety seat with a Graco base or safety seat. Call Graco for additional or replacement items.

THIS SAFETY SEAT conforms to all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.

THIS SAFETY SEAT is certified for use in Motor Vehicles and Aircraft.

3.3 A Warning About Air Bags

NEVER PLACE THIS SAFETY SEAT IN A VEHICLE SEATING LOCATION THAT HAS AN AIR BAG. If an air bag inflates, it can hit

the safety seat with great force and cause serious injury or death to your child. Refer to your vehicle owners manual for information about air bags and child safety seat installation.

3.4 When the Safety Seat is Not Occupied

PARTS OF THE SAFETY SEAT can become very hot if the seat is left in the sun. Contact with these parts can burn your childs skin. Cover the safety seat with a blanket if it will be exposed to the sun, and always touch the surface of any metal or plastic part before putting your child in the safety seat.

NEVER leave a safety seat or safety seat base unsecured in your vehicle. When you are not using the safety seat, either remove it or make sure that it is securely belted in the vehicle. An unsecured seat can be thrown around and may injure occupants in the event of a sharp turn, sudden stop or crash.

DO NOT PLACE HEAVY OBJECTS on safety seat while in storage. Heavy objects may deform safety seat over a period of time.

3.5 About the Life and Condition of this Safety Seat

REPLACE THE SAFETY SEAT AND BASE after an accident of any kind. An accident can cause damage to the safety seat and base that you cannot see.

EVEN IF THE SAFETY SEAT AND BASE are not involved in an accident, stop using both and throw them away six years after the date of manufacture. The date of manufacture can be found on the serial label located on the underside of the safety seat or base.

DO NOT MODIFY your safety seat or base or use any accessories or parts supplied by other manufacturers. Only make adjustments to the safety seat or base as recommended in these instructions.

NEVER USE THE SAFETY SEAT OR BASE if it has damaged or missing parts. Do not use a cut, frayed or damaged safety seat harness or vehicle seat belt.

NEVER give this safety seat or base to someone else without also giving them this manual.

NEVER USE A SECOND-HAND SEAT OR BASE.

3.6 Warnings About Using the Safety Seat as a Carrier

Infants can tip or slide the carrier by their movements or by pushing off other objects with their feet. If the carrier tips over, your child can suffocate. If the carrier is too upright, your infants head may drop forward and cause breathing problems. To avoid injury or death from suffocation, falls and other hazards:

ALWAYS place carrier on a firm and level surface. Never place carrier on soft or plush surfaces that may allow carrier and infant to roll over.

DO NOT place carrier near the edge of surfaces such as tables or counters. To prevent falls, stay within arms reach whenever carrier is not on floor/ground.

ALWAYS use harness straps when child is in the carrier and NEVER LEAVE CHILD UNATTENDED.

USE ONLY with strollers that are part of the Graco®Travel System.

BEFORE USING THE HANDLE to pick up or carry the safety seat, be sure the handle is locked in position so that it will not move unexpectedly.

NEVER PLACE carrier in the top of a shopping cart.

Strings and cords can cause strangulation. Keep strings and cords away from child:

DO NOT place carrier near a window where cords from blinds or drapes can strangle a child.

DO NOT hang strings on or over the carrier.

DO NOT place items with a string around a childs neck, such as hood strings, pacifier cords, etc.

DO NOT attach strings to toys.

4. Selecting a Suitable Location for the Safety Seat

4.1 Consider These Basic Recommendations

According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in rear vehicle seating positions, rather than front seating positions.

Some seating positions in your vehicle may not be safe locations for this safety seat. In fact, some vehicles do not have any seating positions that can be used safely.

Improper placement of the safety seat increases the risk of serious injury or death.

Follow the instructions in this section and in your vehicle owners manual to select a location for the safety seat. If you are not sure where to place the safety seat in your vehicle, contact your vehicle manufacturer or Graco Childrens Products Inc., 1-888-224-6549.

We recommend that, whenever possible, you secure the safety seat in the center position of the seat directly behind the front seats

. We also recommend that an adult ride in the rear seat to watch the child. If the driver is the only adult present, a child who must be closely watched may need to ride in the front seat, but should only do so if there is no passenger-side air bag and all of the other vehicle seat and seat belt requirements listed below are met.

4.2 Be Sure Your Vehicle Seat Meets All of These Requirements

NEVER PLACE THIS SAFETY SEAT IN A VEHICLE SEATING LOCATION THAT HAS AN AIR BAG

. If an air bag inflates, it can hit the safety seat with great force and cause serious injury or death to your child. Refer to your vehicle owners manual for information about air bags and child safety seat installation.

THE VEHICLE SEAT MUST FACE

FORWARD. DO NOT place safety seat in a

rear-facing vehicle seat

or a side-facing

vehicle seat

ONLY use this safety seat on vehicle seats with seat backs that lock in an upright position. Do not use seats that can fold down without having to release a lock or latch of some kind. These seats can fly forward and strike the child in a sudden stop or crash.

SEE YOUR VEHICLE OWNERS MANUAL

or contact the vehicle manufacturer to make sure the vehicle manufacturer permits safety seat use in the location that you select.

4.3 Be Sure Your Vehicle Seat Belt is Safe to Use

The vehicle seat belt must be designed to hold the safety seat tightly at ALL times. There are a variety of seat belt systems that are NOT safe for use with the safety seat because they will not hold the safety seat tightly at all times. We will first describe the seat belts that are not safe for use and then we will describe those that are safe for use. Pay careful attention to these systems; some of the seat belts that are NOT safe to use look very much like seat belts that are safe to use. If you are unsure, contact the vehicle manufacturer or call Graco at 1-888-224-6549.

Many seat belt systems are NOT safe to use with child safety seats, even though they can easily be threaded through the safety seat. Carefully read this section for information on seat belt systems and refer to your vehicle owner's manual and any labels on your vehicles seat belt. You may need to have a special seat belt installed by your vehicle dealer before using the safety seat.
