Get to Know Your Car Seat

What Seating Location Should I Use?

Review section 2-A to see all of the features of this booster seat.

The best seating location for this booster seat is one that:

• Is recommended by your vehicle owner’s manual, and

• Results in a secure installation of this booster seat.
Some vehicles have specific requirements for where the booster seat can be installed, so be sure to

check your vehicle owner’s manual for available seating positions, if any. For example, sometimes the
center rear seat has a lap belt only vehicle seat belt, which cannot be used with this booster seat.

Review section 7-B, 7-C, 7-D of this manual AND your vehicle owner’s manual.

According to accident 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.

9

When Installing As a Booster

Vehicle Seat Belt

There is one type of vehicle seat belt that can be used: Lap/
Shoulder Seat Belt.

Review section 3 of this manual AND your vehicle owner’s
manual.

Lower Anchor System

The lower anchor system consists of lower anchor bars, which are built-in
to your vehicle, and connectors that are built-in your car seat.

Review section 3 of this manual AND your vehicle owner’s manual.

Using The Car Seat Correctly

To make sure your child is secured properly, review section 3 and 4 to fit your child.

Car Seat’s Useful Life

Protect vehicle seat. Use a car seat mat, towel, or thin blanket under and behind car seat.

Vehicle Seat Protection

15

Car seat parts can get very hot in the sun or warm weather. To avoid burns, always check before
putting child in car seat.

Warm Weather Use

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.

1-D 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.

16

! Review your vehicle owner’s manual for more information about air bags and car

seat use.

! If your vehicle does not have a back seat, review your vehicle owner’s manual.
! Select a suitable location for the car seat in your vehicle.
! Always secure car seat with the lower anchor connectors or a vehicle seat belt,

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

! 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.

! The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that children should use

a built-in harness system car seat for as long as possible until they reach the

maximum forward-facing weight or height for their car seat. After reaching the

maximum forward-facing weight or height, they also recommend that children 4

feet 9 inches (145cm) tall or under should ride in a belt-positioning booster seat.

17

! DO NOT use car seat if it is damaged or missing parts.
! DO NOT use accessories or parts other than those provided by Graco. Their use

could alter the performance of the car seat.

! Never leave child unattended, even when sleeping. Child may become tangled in

vehicle belt straps and suffocate or strangle.

! Never attach two lower anchor connectors to one

vehicle lower anchor bar unless specifically allowed by
the vehicle manufacturer.

Graco allows the securing of the car seat with the lower anchor
system in the booster mode, only if the vehicle manufacture allows
it. The child still MUST BE SECURED with the vehicle lap/shoulder
seat belt. The lower anchors can be used in the booster mode
regardless of the weight of the child up to 110 lb (50 kg).

Verify the following before using the lower anchors in the booster
mode:

• The lower anchor attachment DOES NOT interfere with any
vehicle seat belts or buckles.

If the lower anchor attachment interferes with the vehicle seat belts

or if the chosen seating position does not have lower anchor bars,
you MUST store the lower anchor straps. Always secure car seat with the lower anchors or a vehicle
seat belt, even when unoccupied. In a crash, an unsecured car seat can injure passengers.
