Failure to properly use this infant restraint 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 infant restraint correctly.
Even if using this infant restraint seems easy to figure out on your own, it is very important to READ THE OWNER’S MANUAL.
The manual is located in the back pocket of the infant restraint. You must also read your vehicle owner’s manual.

4.0 Important Information
4.1 Warnings for Use as Infant Restraint
DO NOT INSTALL OR USE THIS INFANT RESTRAINT AND BASE 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
infant restraint unless they understand how to use it.
FAILURE TO PROPERLY USE THIS INFANT RESTRAINT
AND BASE INCREASES THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IN A SUDDEN STOP OR CRASH. Your child can
be injured in a vehicle even if you are not in a crash. Sudden braking and sharp turns can injure your child if the infant restraint is not properly installed or if your child is not properly secured in the infant restraint.
PLACE THIS INFANT RESTRAINT IN A REAR-FACING POSITION when using it in the vehicle.
DO NOT PLACE THIS INFANT RESTRAINT
IN A VEHICLE SEATING LOCATION THAT HAS A FRONT AIR BAG. If the air bag
inflates, it can hit the infant restraint with great force and cause serious injury or death to your child. Check vehicle owner’s manual for information about side air bags and infant restraint installation.
Page 55

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 an infant restraint. If your child has special needs, we recommend that you have your physician or hospital staff evaluate your child and recommend the proper infant restraint or car bed before using this product.
According to accident statistics, CHILDREN ARE SAFER WHEN
PROPERLY RESTRAINED IN REAR VEHICLE SEATING POSITIONS, RATHER THAN FRONT SEATING POSITIONS.
For a vehicle with a front passenger air bag, refer to your vehicle owner’s manual as well as these instructions for infant restraint installation.
NEVER LEAVE YOUR CHILD UNATTENDED.
NEVER LEAVE AN INFANT RESTRAINT AND BASE UNSECURED IN YOUR VEHICLE. An unsecured infant restraint or base can be thrown around and may injure occupants in a sharp turn, sudden stop or crash. Remove it or make sure that it is securely belted in the vehicle. If not using LATCH, make sure LATCH connectors are properly stored on base.
REPLACE THE INFANT RESTRAINT AND BASE AFTER AN ACCIDENT OF ANY KIND. An accident can cause damage to the infant restraint that you cannot see.
STOP USING INFANT RESTRAINT AND BASE AND THROW IT AWAY after the date molded into the underside of the infant restraint.

NEVER USE INFANT RESTRAINT AND BASE IF IT HAS DAMAGED OR MISSING PARTS. DO NOT use a cut, frayed or damaged infant restraint harness, LATCH belt or vehicle seat belt.
THE INFANT RESTRAINT CAN BECOME VERY HOT IF LEFT IN THE SUN. Always touch the surface of any metal or plastic parts before putting your child in the infant restraint.
THIS CHILD RESTRAINT CONFORMS to all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and is certified for use in motor vehicles and aircraft.
NEVER GIVE THIS INFANT RESTRAINT AND BASE to someone else without also giving them this manual.
NEVER USE A SECOND-HAND INFANT RESTRAINT AND BASE or an infant restraint whose history you do not know.

Page 59
5.0 Infant Restraint Location
5.1 Vehicle Seat Requirements
IMPROPER PLACEMENT OF THE INFANT RESTRAINT INCREASES THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Some seating positions in your vehicle may not be safe for this infant restraint. Some vehicles do not have any seating positions that can be used safely with the infant restraint. If you are not sure where to place the infant restraint in your vehicle, consult your vehicle owner’s manual or call Graco at 1-800-345-4109.
Whenever possible, secure the infant
restraint in the center position of the seat directly behind the front seats
. An adult should ride in the rear seat to watch the child. If the driver is the only adult present, a child may need to ride in the front seat. BUT ONLY if there is no passenger-side air bag and all of the other vehicle seat and seat belt requirements listed are met.
NEVER place this infant restraint in a
vehicle seating location that has a front air bag
. See “4.1 Warnings for Use as
Infant Restraint”, p.18.

5.2 Vehicle Seat Belt Requirements
The VEHICLE seat must face forward.
DO NOT use infant restraint on vehicle seats with seat backs that will not 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.
MANY SEAT BELT SYSTEMS ARE NOT SAFE TO USE WITH THE INFANT RESTRAINT. THE VEHICLE SEAT BELT MUST BE DESIGNED TO HOLD THE INFANT RESTRAINT TIGHTLY AT ALL TIMES.
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,
consult your vehicle owner’s manual or Graco
at 1-800-345-4109.

6.3 Installing the Infant Restraint/Base Using Vehicle Belt
You must carefully follow the instructions provided by your vehicle manufacturer, in addition to the information in this manual. Be sure you have read and understood section 5, “Infant Restraint Location” on p.23-28.
Make sure vehicle is on level ground so that the level indicator, which is attached to the infant restraint, can be used to properly recline the infant restraint .
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 infant restraint.
1. Remove infant restraint from base, regardless of whether or not
you plan on using the base.
2. Place the base
or infant restraint without base
in a
rear-facing position in a forward-facing vehicle seat.
36
Page 73
3. Thread the seat belt:
4. Buckle the seat belt. Make sure the buckle tongue goes into the correct buckle
. The seat belt should not
be twisted or turned.

5. Tighten the vehicle seat belt. Refer to your vehicle owners manual and the instructions in “5.2.2 SAFE Vehicle Belt Systems”, p. 26-27, on tightening your vehicle belt.
To create a very tight installation, push down hard with your knee or free hand in the middle of the infant restraint or base
and pull and tighten the vehicle belt.
6. Push the infant restraint down into the base and make sure that you hear a “click”
. Pull up on the infant restraint to be sure
it is latched securely into the base. If the infant restraint does not securely
latch into the base, the infant restraint provides NO protection for your child. DO NOT use the infant restraint/base if the infant restraint does not securely latch into the base.

1. For ease of installation, extend LATCH
to its maximum length.
2. Position base in vehicle seat as shown.
3. Thread LATCH through base belt
path normally used for vehicle seat belt. Make sure that LATCH is UNDER tongue on base
.
Belt must lay flat and not be twisted.
4. Hook Connectors to vehicle lower
anchors. Pull firmly on Connectors to
be sure they are attached
.
5. Tighten LATCH by pushing down hard on base and pulling the
adjustment belt
.

manufacturer
.
7. Test infant restraint for secure
installation as described in infant restraint “Final Safety Check” p.42.
8. Check that the LATCH stays tight and does not slip from the
tightened position. If it does not stay tight, try another seating position or contact Customer Service.
6.4 Using LATCH to install Base
Tongue
Page 76
For your child’s safety, it is important that your infant restraint/base be properly reclined. Attached to the side of your infant restraint is a level indicator to help properly recline the infant restraint/base on the vehicle seat.
Failure to properly recline the infant restraint on the vehicle seat increases the risk of serious injury or death.
If the infant restraint is too upright, a child’s head may drop forward and cause breathing problems.
If the infant restraint is too reclined, a crash could put too much force on a child’s neck and shoulders.
The infant restraint must be properly reclined according to the following instructions.
6.5 Reclining Infant Restraint/Base
Check the level indicator. You must look straight on at the indicator. —If the indicator shows ONLY blue, the infant restraint is properly
leveled.
—If any orange is showing in the level indicator adjust the recline.
40
Page 77
When using the base: To lower the foot; pull down on the bottom of
the foot to the desired setting to adjust the recline .
To raise the foot; set the base on a flat surface, push in on the fingers on the base and push down on the base to adjust the recline .
If there is still orange in the level indicator when the foot is completely extended then place a rolled towel under the foot until ONLY blue shows .
When using only the infant restraint, if there is still orange in the level indicator when the infant restraint is resting on the vehicle seat then place a rolled towel under the infant restraint until ONLY blue shows .
Readjust the vehicle seat belt as necessary to secure the infant restraint firmly in the vehicle seat.
41
Page 78
Final Safety Check: Every time you drive with your child,
PUSH DOWN on the top of the infant restraint slowly but firmly to make sure the vehicle belt does not lengthen at all and that the vehicle belt or LATCH is fastened very tightly around the infant restraint/base
.
Holding the infant restraint near the vehicle belt path, TWIST AND PULL the seat forward and to both sides to make sure the vehicle belt or LATCH does not lengthen or loosen and the infant restraint does not easily move
.
