Read this Owner’s Manual completely BEFORE first use of your car seat! Keep this Owner’s Manual always with the car seat. Provisions are made on

the rear of the seat shell. Plan to spend some time getting to know your car seat—time well spent when you consider that your baby’s safety depends on it. Pay special attention to the warnings, printed in red.

Before continuing, please locate your vehicle owners manual. You may need to refer to it as part of these instructions.

Car safety seats are designed to give protection to your child in the event of a sudden stop or crash. No safety seat can guarantee absolute protection from injury in the event of a crash, but their use reduces the risks.

Countries differ in their laws and recommendations for safe child restraint seat use. For further advice contact your local law enforcement officers or your vehicle supplier.

Graco Children’s Products

PO BOX 5991

Basildon, Essex SS14 3GJ

Safety Requirements

European Safety Standards specify the construction and performance of your car seat as well as its components, requirements for fitting and use, instructions and markings.

Your car seat has been approved to

European Standard

ECE R44.03

Semi-Universal/Universal group 0+, less than

13 kg. An approval number is attached to the

rear of the seat and must not be removed.

NOTICE

(Seat Only)

The seat is a “Universal” child restraint. It is approved to Regulation No. 44.03 series of amendments, for general use in vehicles and it will fit all car seats.

Only suitable if the approved vehicles are fitted with 3 point static/with retractor safety belts, approved to UN/ECE Regulation No. 16 or other equivalent standards.

(Seat with Base)

The Base “Semi-Universal” child restraint. It is approved to Regulation No. 44.03 series of amendments, for general use in vehicles and it will fit most, but not all, car seats. See the fitting guide on page 88-89.

Only suitable if the approved vehicles are fitted with 2 point static lap safety belt or 3 point static/with retractor safety belts, approved to UN/ECE Regulation No. 16 or other equivalent standards.

Important safety points

DO read these instructions before fitting the car seat in your car so that you may be familiar with it and avoid any dangerous misuse.

Premature babies of less than 37 weeks gestation may be at special risk in a car. Such a baby may experience breathing difficulties while reclined in a car seat. We advise that you have your doctor or hospital staff examine your baby and recommend the proper car seat or car bed before you and your baby leave the hospital.

DO NOT USE YOUR CAR SEAT ON ANY P ASSENGER SEA T WHERE AN AIRBAG IS FITTED.

DO take care to locate and install the car seat so that it is not liable to become trapped by a moveable seat or in a door of the vehicle.

DO make sure that the harness is properly adjusted at all times and that the straps are not twisted.

AVOID seating a passenger directly behind the car seat. If a passenger must sit directly behind the car seat, put the lightest person there. In the event of an accident, a heavy passenger is more likely to injure your child than a light one.

DO make it a firm family rule that everyone in the car always buckles up for every trip. This sets a good example for young children and ensures better cooperation over the years. Also, an unrestrained child or adult can be thrown into other passengers and cause serious injury or death in a crash.

DO NOT ever take a baby out of the car seat for any reason while vehicle is in motion. If your baby needs attention, find a safe place and pull off the road.

DO store your car seat in a safe place when not being used. Avoid putting heavy things on top of it.

DO always check the security of your car seat before each journey.

DO regularly check all child restraints for wear and tear.

DO make sure that all folding seats are securely latched.

DO NOT leave children unattended in your car, even for the shortest time. Children should not play with the car seat.

DO NOT leave luggage and other objects unsecured in the car or the boot. If the car has to stop suddenly, these objects will continue moving and can cause serious injuries. The larger the object, the greater the risk.

DO NOT make unauthorized alterations or additions to any part of the seat, base, or car seat belt. Do not use accessories or parts supplied by other manufacturers. The function of the car seat could be altered, resulting in serious injury or death.

DO NOT use another manufacturer’s seat cover or base with this car seat. See your retailer for Graco replacements ONLY.

DO NOT put anything underneath your car seat. In a crash it could fly out, making the webbing slack and creating a hazard for other passengers.

DO NOT carry children in the luggage area behind the rear seat in a hatchback or an estate car unless specially designed for the purpose.

DO NOT leave your car seat or base unsecured in a car. Your car seat or base must always be secured in the car.

After an accident, the car seat (and base, if applicable) MUST BE replaced. Also replace the seat belt that anchored the car seat and the seat belts worn by any other vehicle passengers. You may not see any damage, but after a serious crash a car seat, base or seat belt can be too weak to protect again.

In an emergency, the buckle has been designed to be released quickly. It is not child proof. More inquisitive children might learn to undo the buckle. Children should be told never to play with it or any other part of the seat.

Your car seat must only be used with an approved three-point lap and diagonal belt.

Car seat may be used as an infant carrier. Be sure handle is locked in carrying position before carrying your child. Put handle into one of the back positions to use as a stand for reclining or sitting up.

DO NOT place car seat or infant carrier near edge of a table or counter or onto soft surfaces like mattresses or cushions. Infant rocking or movement may cause it to move and fall off, causing injury or death.

Important procedures

To give your baby the best possible protection, you must know several things outlined in this Owner’s Manual:

Fitting the harness for your baby.

Choosing the safest seat location for the car seat.

Verifying the seat belt system used in your vehicle.

Properly installing the car seat (and base—sold separately) in your vehicle.

In the following pages, the red texts mark very important safety information!

Please READ and UNDERSTAND all red warnings.

Adjusting the handle

Squeeze latches on both sides at bottom of handle to release it.

Always place handle in the up position when using the car seat in a vehicle.

Always place handle in the down position when removing your baby from the seat.

Attaching the car seat to the base (on certain models)

NOTE: A base for your seat (which stays buckled in the car, so you can avoid fastening the vehicle belt each time you go out) is sold separately through certain retailers.

To attach seat to base, position front of seat in base then push down on the back until it locks into place. (See Illustration).

Pull up on car seat to be sure it is securely latched into base.

To remove, squeeze release handle at back of the car seat to release the attachment latch. Lift car seat from base as shown.

For a smaller baby, use the lower

shoulder slots and the upper strap loops.

The ends of the straps must hang in front of the junction plate.

Lift up the strap ends to check that the loops are completely within the junction plate slots and pull on the straps to be sure they are secure.

For a larger baby, use the upper

shoulder slots and the end strap loops.

Check that the straps are completely within the junction plate slots and pull on the straps to be sure they are secure.

WARNING: Use extreme care in threading the straps according to the diagram. If the straps are not secure, they will not protect your baby.

Choosing the seat location

See fitting chart on page 88-89 for specific vehicle seating position.

DO place car seat in a forward-facing vehicle seat. The seat can be placed on the rear or front seat of the car (except cars fitted with a passenger air bag).

DO NOT place car seat in a vehicle seat that uses an air bag.

DO NOT place car seat in a rear-facing vehicle seat.

DO NOT place car seat in a side-facing vehicle seat.

The car seat alone must be fastened in the car with a three point belt with or without a retractor, which has been approved to ECE regulation No. 16 or equivalent standard. Base could be used with both 2 or 3 point belts.

16 17 18

Only use this car seat on vehicle seats with seat backs that lock in place. Seats without latches, that fold forward or pivot freely should not be used.

Only use this car seat on vehicle seats that are fully padded and are free of sharp objects.

Installing the car seat

After fitting the harness to your baby and determining which vehicle seat location is best, you are ready to install your car seat. The installation instructions vary depending on whether or not you are using the base. Refer to the proper section below:

Step 1.

Place your car seat (or base without the seat) into a forward-facing vehicle

seat with no air bag and with an approved type of seat belt. Face your car seat or base toward the rear of the vehicle. Check that the car seat handle is up.

DO NOT use car seat in a vehicle with the handle in the sitting (down) position.

NEVER face this car seat forward. Serious injury or death can result if this car seat is used facing forward.

WITHOUT BASE: Step 2.

Place shoulder belt around the back of the car seat exactly as shown, making sure to run it through the center guides on the back of the seat and below the notch opposite

the shoulder belt origin.

Put lap section of belt over car seat and under the two belt hooks. Buckle the vehicle belt.

Using the level indicator

Attached to the side of your car seat is a level indicator to help properly recline the car seat on the vehicle seat. It is very important for your

child’s safety that your car seat be properly reclined. Proper use of the

level indicator requires that your vehicle be parked on level ground during installation of the car seat.

DO NOT use car seat in a very upright position. The child’s head

may drop forward and cause breathing problems.

DO NOT use car seat in a very reclined position. A crash could

put too much force on a child’s neck and shoulders.
