This car seat is for children: Forward-Facing: 10-30 kg (22-65 lb)

Booster: 18-45 kg (40-100 lb)

Get to Know Your Car Seat
What Seating Location Should I Use?
Review section 2-B to see all of the features of this car seat.
The best seating location for this car seat is one that:
• Is recommended by your vehicle owner’s manual, and
• Results in a secure installation of this car seat.
Some vehicles have specific requirements for where the car seat can be installed, so
be sure to check your vehicle owner’s manual for available seating positions, if any.
7
Which Installation Method Should I Use?
This car seat can be installed in your vehicle using either the vehicle seat belt OR the Universal Anchor
System (UAS). DO NOT USE BOTH AT THE SAME TIME when using the internal harness.
Vehicle Seat Belt: Review section 7 and your vehicle owner’s manual to learn how to install
your car seat with the vehicle seat belts.
UAS : The UAS system allows you to securely attach your car seat in your car without using the
vehicle seat belt. All 2003 and newer model year vehicles are required to have a UAS, although
some manufacturers began including them earlier. Some vehicle owner manuals use the term
ISOFIX to identify the UAS.
According to collision statistics, the 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.
For example, sometimes the center rear seat has a lap belt only vehicle seat belt, which
cannot be used when this car seat is in Booster mode.
Review section 7-B, 7-C of this manual AND your vehicle owner’s manual.
8
UAS consists of lower anchor bars and a tether anchor bar, which are built-in to your
vehicle, and connecting hooks that are built-in to your car seat. Lower anchors are used
INSTEAD of the vehicle’s seat belt to secure the child seat to the vehicle. The tether is
used IN ADDITION to the lower anchors OR the vehicle’s seat belt to secure a forwardfacing car seat to the vehicle.
Review your vehicle’s owner manual for exact location and use.
