1-C Safety Warnings

No car seat can guarantee protection from
injury in every situation, but proper use
helps reduce the risk of serious injury or
death. READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY.

Failure to follow these instructions and child
restraint’s labels can result in child striking the
vehicle’s interior during a sudden stop or crash.

! NEVER PLACE THIS CHILD RESTRAINT

REAR-FACING IN A VEHICLE SEATING
LOCATION THAT HAS AN ACTIVE FRONT
AIR BAG.

If an air bag inflates, it can hit the child and car seat
with great force and cause serious injury or death to
your child.

! Review your vehicle owner’s manual for more

information about air bags and car seat use.

11

1 Important

! If your vehicle does not have a back seat, review

your vehicle owner’s manual.

! The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) recommend that children be rear-facing
until age 2 or until they reach the maximum rear­facing height and weight rating for their seat.

! This child restraint must only be used with

children weighing between 4-35 lb (1.8-16 kg).

! Select a suitable location for the car seat in your

vehicle.

! Secure car seat with a vehicle seat belt or LATCH

that is properly routed as shown in this manual.

! Vehicle seat belt system MUST hold car seat

securely. Not all vehicle seat belts can be used
with a car seat.

! If vehicle seat belt does not hold car seat

securely, read “Vehicle Seat Belts” section 6 and
your vehicle owner’s manual.

! Always secure car seat with LATCH or a vehicle

seat belt, even when unoccupied. In a crash, an
unsecured car seat can injure passengers.

! DO NOT use car seat if it is damaged or missing

parts.

12

1 Important

! If car seat is in a crash, it must be replaced.

DO NOT use it again! A crash can cause unseen
damage and using it again could result in
serious injury or death.

! DO NOT use accessories or parts other than

those provided by Graco. Their use could alter
the performance of the car seat.

! DO NOT remove LATCH system from car seat. If

using vehicle seat belt to secure car seat, LATCH
connectors must be stored.

! Never leave child unattended, even when

sleeping. Child may become tangled in harness
straps and suffocate or strangle.

! Rear-facing car seat must be properly leveled:

• Too reclined can result in injury or ejection.

• Too upright can result in breathing
difficulties.

! Never attach two LATCH connectors

to one vehicle lower anchor point
unless specifically allowed by the

vehicle manufacturer.

! Do not use both the vehicle seat belt and

LATCH strap at the same time when using the
car seat rear-facing.

safest place for your child in any
vehicle is the back seat. The center
of the back seat can be the safest
during a possible side impact.

Review your vehicle owner’s manual for seating
locations. Review section 6 for additional information.

Some vehicles have specific requirements for where the
car seat can be installed. Be sure to check your vehicle
owner’s manual for all available seating positions.

6-A Additional LATCH Information

This car seat can be installed in your vehicle using either the
vehicle seat belt OR the LATCH system. Both systems are
equally safe to use. DO NOT USE BOTH AT THE SAME TIME.

The LATCH system allows you to securely attach your car seat
in your car without using the vehicle seat belt and possibly to get
a better fit. All 2003 and newer model year vehicles are required
to have a LATCH system, although some manufacturers began
including LATCH earlier. Some vehicle owner manuals use the
term ISOFIX to identify the LATCH system.

Only use LATCH in seating positions recommended by
your vehicle manufacturer. Review your vehicle owner’s
manual for more information.
