BRAKE CABLE ADJUSTMENTS:

Due to brake cable stretch and to brake
pad wear, you will find it necessary to
tighten the brake cable.

Minor adjustment can be done by
loosening the lock nut (A) then turning
the adjusting barrel (B), which is located
either at the end of the cable housing or
on top of the brake lever.

Major adjustment of the cable length is
made at the brake caliper by loosening
the anchor bolt (C) and pulling more of
the cable through it. While doing any
brake work, you will find it helpful to
release the brakes by the quick release
mechanism (D). Remember to reset the
release mechanism when adjustments
are done. Tighten all brake nuts
and bolts.

Check that brake is adjusted properly
by squeezing brake lever (E) before
using stroller.

BRAKE PADS ADJUSTMENTS:

Due to wear the brake pads may
need to be adjusted or replaced.

To adjust the position of the pad (F)
on the rim of the tire, loosen the nut (G),
move the pad to the desired location on
the rim and retighten the nut.

To replace the pads remove the nut (G)
and worn pads. It will be easier to
remove the pads if you first release
the quick release mechanism on the
brake. Remember to reset the release
mechanism (D) when adjustments are
done. Replace with new pads and
tighten the nut.

AJUSTEMENTS DU CÂBLE DU FREIN:

Il sera nécessaire de serrer le câble du frein à
cause de l’étirement du câble du frein et l’usure
de la plaquette de frein.

Un ajustement mineur peut être fait en
desserrant l’ecrou (A) puis tournant le baril de
la mise au point (B) qui est localisé à l’extrémité
du boîtier du câble ou sur le levier du frein.

Un ajustement majeur de la longueur du câble
est fait à l’étrier du frein en desserrant le verrou
d’ancrage (C) et en tirant le câble à travers le
verrou d’ancrage. Lors de tout travail aux freins,
vous trouverez pratique de dégager les freins
par le mécanisme de relâchement rapide (D).
Souvenez-vous de réinitialiser le mécanisme de
relâchement lorsque les ajustements sont faits.
Serrez tous les écrous et verrous du frein.

Vérifiez que le frein est réglé correctement
en pressant le levier du frein (E) avant d’utiliser
la poussette.

AJUSTEMENT DES PLAQUETTES DE
FREINS:

Les plaquettes de freins peuvent avoir besoin
d’être ajustées ou changée à cause de l’usure.

Pour ajuster la position de la plaquette (F) sur
la jante du pneu, desserrez l’écrou (G),
déplacez la plaquette à l'emplacement désiré
sur la jante du pneu et resserrez l’écrou.

Pour replacer les plaquettes, enlevez l’écrou(G)
et la plaquette usée. Il sera plus facile d'enlever
les plaquettes si vous dégager le mécanisme de
relâchement rapide sur le frein en premier lieu.
Souvenez-vous de réinitialiser le mécanisme
de relâchement (D) après avoir fait les
ajustements. Replacez avec des plaquettes
neuves et serrez l’écrou.

AJUSTES DEL CABLE DEL FRENO:

Debido a que el cable del freno se estira y la
almohadilla del freno se gasta, será necesario
ajustar el cable del freno.

Se pueden hacer pequeños ajustes
altojando la tuerca (A) entonces girando el
cilindro de ajuste (B), que se encuentra en
cada costado del armazón del cable o
encima de la palanca del freno.

El ajuste importante de la longitud del cable
se realiza en el calibrador del freno aflojando
el perno sujetador (C) y tirando del cable por
el mismo. Mientras trabaja en los frenos,
encontrará que será útil aflojar los frenos
con el mecanismo de desconexión rápido (D).
Recuerde volver a aflojar el mecanismo
cuando termine los ajustes. Ajuste todas
las tuercas y pernos del freno.

Verifique que el freno esté ajustado
debidamente apretando la palanca del
freno (E) antes de usar el cochecito.

AJUSTES DE LAS ALMOHADILLAS
DEL FRENO:

Debido al desgaste de las almohadillas
del freno podría ser necesario cambiarlas
o ajustarlas.

Para ajustar la posición de la almohadilla (F)
en la llanta de la cubierta, afloje la tuerca (G),
mueva la almohadilla al lugar deseado en
la llanta y vuelva a ajustar la tuerca.

Para cambiar las almohadillas saque la
tuerca (G) y almohadillas gastadas. Será
más fácil sacar las almohadillas si primero
destraba el mecanismo de desconexión
rápido del freno. Recuerde volver a activar
el mecanismo de destrabe (D) cuando
termine los ajustes. Instale las nuevas
almohadillas y ajuste la tuerca.

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.

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.
If your baby seems too small for this safety seat, you may want to consider
Graco’s Cherish

™

car bed for the first few months.



SOME SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN, such as pre-term babies or
those who have tested positive for positional apnea, may be at increased
risk of suffering breathing or other difficulties 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 CHILD UNATTENDED.



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

7

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.

8

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.

9

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 SAFETY SEAT OR BASE whose
history you do not know.

10

3.6 Warnings About Using the Safety Seat as a Carrier

FALL HAZARD:



Child’s movements can slide carrier. Never place carrier near edges of
counter tops, tables or other high surfaces. Always stay within arms reach
whenever carrier is not on floor/ground.



Be sure handle locks into position before lifting carrier.

SUFFOCATION HAZARD:



Infant Carrier can roll over on soft surfaces and suffocate child. Never
place carrier on beds, sofas or other soft surfaces.

STRANGULATION HAZARD:



Child can strangle in loose restraint straps. Always use harness, never
leave child in carrier when straps are loose or undone.

NEVER LEAVE CHILD UNATTENDED.

USE ONLY WITH STROLLERS that are part of the Graco Travel System.

11



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.

12

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.

13

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

Ê

. 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

Ë

. 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.

Ê

Ë

14



THE VEHICLE SEAT MUST FACE

FORWARD. DO NOT place safety seat in a

rear-facing vehicle seat

Ì

or a side-facing

vehicle seat

Í

.



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.

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.

16

A. Seat Belt Systems that are NOT Safe for Use

with the Safety Seat

DO NOT use the following types of vehicle belt systems with your safety
seat. They will not hold the safety seat securely in place. The metal locking
clip provided with this product will NOT make any of these seat belts safe.



DO NOT use a lap belt that stays loose and can
move until it locks in a crash or sudden stop

Ê

. This
belt has an Emergency Locking Retractor, E.L.R. It is
often seen in combination with a motorized shoulder
belt. Since these lap belts will loosen if pulled on
slowly, the safety seat may shift to an unsafe position.
This seat belt will NOT safely restrain the safety seat.
However, you may be able to convert your E.L.R.
belt to one that is safe to use. See your vehicle
owner’s manual for more information or contact
your vehicle manufacturer.



DO NOT use a lap/shoulder combination belt where
each strap has a retractor at one end and is attached
to the latchplate at the other end of the belt

Ë

. This

seat belt will NOT safely restrain the safety seat.

Ë

Ê

17



DO NOT use a seat belt that is attached to the door
in any way

Ê

. This type of belt is designed to open
with the door and automatically surround the passen­ger when the door is closed. This seat belt will NOT
safely restrain the safety seat.



DO NOT use a seat belt that is anchored forward

of the seat crease

Ë

. This seat belt will NOT safely

restrain the safety seat.



DO NOT use a shoulder belt that moves along a
track to automatically surround the passenger when
the door is closed

Ì

. This seat belt will NOT safely

restrain the safety seat.

If you have one of the above seat belt systems, DO
NOT use it to secure the safety seat. Look for a vehicle
seat location that has a suitable seat belt (see the next
section) or contact your vehicle manufacturer about
installing a seat belt system that can be used to secure
the safety seat.

Ê

Ë

Ì

18

19

B. Seat Belt Systems that are Suitable for Use

with the Safety Seat

The following vehicle belt systems can be used with your safety seat, IF the
seat location meets all other requirements of these instructions AND THOSE
IN YOUR VEHICLE OWNER’S MANUAL.



Lap belt that is manually adjusted and stays
tight

Í

. This type of seat belt is tightened by
pulling on the excess belt once it is buckled.
This type of seat belt is most often found in the
rear center seating positions.



Lap belt that cannot lengthen once it is

buckled

Î

. This belt has an automatic locking
retractor (A.L.R.) that does not allow the seat
belt to lengthen without unbuckling the belt and
starting over.

Í

Î



Lap/shoulder combination belt with a locking

latchplate

Ê

. Once it is buckled, this type of belt
has a latchplate that will not allow the lap portion
of the belt to loosen. This seat belt does not
require a locking clip.



Lap/shoulder combination belt with a

latchplate that can slide freely along the belt

Ë

.
This type of belt MUST be converted to prevent
movement of the lap portion of the belt.
You must use the locking clip provided with the
safety seat (see section entitled “To install the
locking clip” on page 48), unless your vehicle’s
seat belt can be converted in another way that
is described in your vehicle owner’s manual.
Failure to use the locking clip or convert the seat
belt in another way will allow the safety seat to
move out of position. See your vehicle owner’s
manual or contact your vehicle manufacturer
for more information.

6. Inserting the Harness Straps in the
Proper Slots

The harness straps must go into the harness slots that are even with or just
below your child’s shoulders. To properly adjust the harness to your child:

1. Remove safety seat from base and rotate handle down into the

sitting position (page 27).

Failure to properly adjust the harness straps for your child increases
the risk of serious injury or death in the event of a sharp turn, sudden
stop or crash. The harness straps must be properly adjusted to fit your
child according to the following instructions.

30

2. Place your child in the safety seat so your
child’s bottom rests against the back of the safety
seat. See diagram 2 on page 38. Determine which
pair of harness slots are even with or just below
your child’s shoulders

Ê

.

DO NOT use the upper harness slots if they
are above your child’s shoulders. They will
not hold a small child securely in a sharp
turn, sudden stop or crash.

3. If the harness straps must be adjusted, remove your child from the
safety seat and move the handle to the upright carrying position. Then
follow the instructions on page 32 or 34, depending on the type of
harness your model uses.

Ê

7. Securing Your Child in the Safety
Seat/Carrier

1. Make sure that the harness straps are in the proper slots for your child

according to section 6, “Inserting the Harness Straps in the Proper Slots”
(page 30).

2. Make sure that your child is dressed in clothing which:
a. Allows the harness straps to securely latch between your child’s legs.

b. Keeps the straps on your child’s shoulders.

Failure to properly secure your child in the safety seat/carrier increases
the risk of serious injury or death from suffocation or falls, or in the
event of a sharp turn, sudden stop or crash.

In a crash, the safety seat provides NO protection for your child unless
the harness straps are properly secured. Even when used only as a
carrier, make sure the harness straps are properly secured.

Follow these instructions carefully to properly secure your child.

8. Securing the Safety Seat/Base in Your Vehicle

There are many kinds of vehicles, seat belts, 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. Before proceeding, be sure you have read and
understood section 4.3, “Be Sure Your Vehicle Seat Belt is Safe to Use” on
pages 16-20.

Failure to properly secure the safety seat in a rear-facing position
within the vehicle increases the child’s risk of serious injury or death in
the event of a sharp turn, sudden stop or crash.

Carefully follow these instructions and those in your vehicle owner’s
manual to be sure your safety seat is properly located, positioned, and
held tightly at all times.

42

Preparation and Initial Safety Checks

1. Make sure vehicle is on level ground so that the
level indicator, which is attached to the safety seat,
can be used to properly recline the safety seat

Ê

.

2. Make sure you have selected a suitable location
for the safety seat as explained in section 4,
“Selecting a Suitable Location for the Safety Seat”
(page 13).

3. Check again to be sure that the vehicle seat does
not have an air bag, and that an adjacent seat’s air
bag will not strike the safety seat.

4. If a front passenger seat is used, slide the vehicle seat rearward as far as
possible from the dashboard. If a rear seat is used, make sure the seat in
front of it is moved forward enough and is upright enough to allow room
for the safety seat.

5. Be sure that the vehicle seat is locked in position and cannot swing
freely down toward the child.

Ê

43

Positioning and Securing the Safety Seat/Base

6. Remove safety seat from base, regardless of whether or not you plan on
using the base. Squeeze the base release handle at the back of the safety
seat and lift the safety seat from the base.

7. If you are going to use the base, place the base
in a rear-facing position in a forward-facing
vehicle seat

Ê

.

If you are not using the base, place the safety
seat in a rear-facing position in a forward-facing
vehicle seat

Ë

. CHILDREN MUST FACE
THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND BE
PLACED IN A VEHICLE SEAT THAT
FACES FORWARD.

Ê

Ë

44

8. Thread the seat belt:

a. If you are using the base, follow diagram

Ì

.

b. If you are not using the base, follow diagram

Í

.

9. Buckle the seat belt. Make sure the buckle tongue
goes into the correct buckle, and not the adjacent one

Î

.

The seat belt should not be twisted or turned.

Î

Ì

Í

45

10. Now the vehicle seat belt must be tightened.

When tightening the seat belt over the safety seat, make sure there is no
slack on either side of the safety seat or between the vehicle belt hooks
on the safety seat. When tightening the seat belt through the base, make
sure there is no slack on either side of the base or along the base belt
path.

To create a very tight
installation, push down hard
with your knee or free hand in
the middle of the safety seat or
base

Ê

and pull and tighten the

vehicle belt.

If you have a lap/shoulder

combination belt, go to step 12.

Ê

46

11. Tightening a lap-only belt:



An automatically adjusted lap beltË is
tightened by feeding the seat belt back into its
retractor while pushing down hard on the safety
seat or base. Make sure that seat belt is locked
in place and very tight.



A manually adjusted lap beltÌ is tightened
by pulling on the excess belt while pushing down
hard on the safety seat or base. However, you
may have trouble tightening the belt because of
the upright angle at which you must pull. You
may have to unbuckle the seat belt, estimate a
seat belt length that will make the seat belt very
tight, then buckle it again.

12. Tightening a lap/shoulder combination belt:



A lap/shoulder combination belt with a
locking latchplate

Í

seat belt can be converted in another way that is described in your vehicle
owner’s manual. See your vehicle owner’s manual to find out if your seat
belt can be converted to prevent movement of the lap
portion of the belt. Otherwise, the locking clip MUST
be used. The locking clip will keep the lap/shoulder
belt from sliding through the latchplate.

To install the locking clip:

a. Tighten the buckled seat belt by pushing down hard on the safety seat

and pulling hard on the shoulder belt.
b. While continuing to push down on the safety

seat, let go of the shoulder belt and pinch the
shoulder and lap belts together near the latchplate.

c. While still pinching the belts together, unbuckle
the seat belt. Do not allow the belts to slip.

Ê

e. Re-buckle the belt and pull hard on
the lap belt to be sure it does not move.

f. Repeat this procedure if the lap belt
is loose or lengthens when pulled.

13. If you are using the base, make sure that there
is nothing on top of or in the base that may interfere
with attachment of the safety seat. Then push the
safety seat down into the base and make sure that

you hear a “click”

Í

. Pull up on the safety seat to

be sure it is latched securely into the base.

Properly Reclining the Safety Seat/Base

For your child’s safety, it is important that your safety seat/base be properly
reclined. Attached to the side of your safety seat is a level indicator to help
properly recline the safety seat/base on the vehicle seat.

Failure to properly recline the safety seat on the vehicle seat increases
the risk of serious injury or death.

If the safety seat is too upright, a child’s head may
drop forward and cause breathing problems.

If the safety seat is too reclined, a crash could put
too much force on a child’s neck and shoulders.

The safety seat must be properly reclined
according to the following instructions.

50

Adjustable Base:

14. Make sure the safety seat/base is not tilted sideways on the vehicle
seat. Check the level indicator. You must look straight on at the indicator.



If the indicator shows ONLY blue, the safety seat is properly leveled.



If any orange is showing in the level indicator, the safety seat is either
too upright or too reclined. To correct the problem, first note the degree
of correction needed, then follow the instructions below:

Loosen the base by releasing the seat
belt to access the recline adjustment knob.

If the safety seat is too upright, turn
the knob clockwise to increase the
recline

Ê

. If you still need more recline
after the adjustment foot is completely
extended, place rolled towels under foot
until indicator shows ONLY blue.

If the safety seat is too reclined, retract
the adjustment foot into the base by
turning the knob counterclockwise or
shift safety seat manually to decrease
the recline.

Use adjustment knob

to change recline

Ê

51

Non-adjustable Base:

14. Make sure the safety seat/base is not tilted sideways on the vehicle seat.
Check the level indicator. You must look straight on at the indicator.



If the indicator shows ONLY blue, the safety seat is properly leveled.



If any orange is showing in the level indicator, the safety seat/base is
either too upright or too reclined. If the safety seat/base is too upright, place
rolled towels as shown until indicator shows ONLY blue

Ê

. If the safety
seat is too reclined, shift safety seat as shown until indicator shows ONLY
blue

Ë

Final Safety Checks

15. If your child is already in the safety seat because you have been using
it as a carrier, make sure child is secured with the harness according to
section 7, “Securing Your Child in the Safety Seat/Carrier” (page 37).

16. Make sure that the safety seat is properly secured by the vehicle seat
belt system by performing the following test
EVERY TIME YOU DRIVE WITH YOUR
CHILD:

First, PUSH DOWN on the top of the safety
seat slowly but firmly to make sure the vehicle
belt does not lengthen at all and that the vehicle
belt is fastened very tightly around the safety
seat/base

Ê

.

Next, holding the safety seat near the vehicle
belt path, TWIST AND PULL the seat forward
and to both sides to make sure the vehicle belt
does not lengthen or loosen and the safety seat
does not easily move

Ë

.

Ê

54

Ë

If you find that your safety seat moves or your vehicle seat belt slips or
becomes loose, make sure you have followed steps 1-15 correctly, or see
section 4, “Selecting a Suitable Location for the Safety Seat” (page 13).

DO NOT USE THIS SEATING LOCATION IF THE SEAT BELT DOES
NOT HOLD THE SAFETY SEAT TIGHTLY.

9. Using the Safety Seat in an Airplane



This safety seat may be installed in an airplane
the same way that it is installed in an automobile.
Since airlines have some restrictions about the use
of safety seats, notify the airline ahead of time
that you intend to bring the seat on board.



Again, for the safety of your child, use the safety seat in forward-facing
aircraft seats only. Follow the flight attendant’s instructions about safety
seat placement. Follow the installation instructions as previously described.



Always be sure that the airplane seat belt is adjusted so that it tightly
holds the safety seat in place at all times.

55

10. Using the Safety Seat with a Graco® Stroller

This safety seat can be used with certain models of Graco®LiteRider strollers.
Refer to your LiteRider instruction sheet for details about how to attach
the safety seat to your stroller. If you do not have an instruction sheet,
please call toll-free, 1-888-224-6549 to obtain one, or visit our website,
www.gracobaby.com.

11. Cleaning and Maintenance



TO REMOVE AND WASH SAFETY SEAT PAD, see following pages.



SAFETY SEAT METAL AND PLASTIC PARTS may be cleaned by
wiping with a mild soap and water solution. DO NOT USE BLEACH.
Use of bleach may weaken plastic parts.



HARNESS STRAPS may be spot cleaned or replaced. DO NOT IMMERSE
THE HARNESS STRAPS IN WATER. Doing so may weaken the harness straps.



BUCKLE may be cleaned with a damp cloth.


