A. Before You Begin
Thank you for choosing this car seat, referred to throughout
this manual as a child restraint. The DJG family is committed
to creating a child restraint with the most comfort and
convenience available today.
Remember, parents are a child’s first teachers and examples.
If you always buckle your seat belt, your child will think it is
the natural thing to do. Make it a firm rule that the vehicle
does not go until everyone is buckled up. Make no exceptions.
No one can predict if use of a child restraint will prevent injury
or death in a particular crash. However, combined with careful
driving, proper use of a child restraint can lower a child’s risk
of injury or death in most crashes.
Your child’s safety is worth the time it will take to read and
follow these instructions. After reading, if you still have
questions or have any problems with this child restraint,
please contact our Consumer Relations Department at:
Dorel Juvenile Group, Inc.

B-1 Vehicle Seating Position
According to accident statistics, children
are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seating positions than in the front
seating positions.
Check the vehicle’s owner manual for
more information about airbag/child
restraint use.
For vehicles without a back seat, refer
to your vehicle’s owner manual.
Failure to follow these warnings can result
in the serious injury or death of your child.
To help you recognize instructions which
are most critical to your child’s safety, we
use this symbol:
B-2 Installation in Vehicle
Check the vehicle belt or LATCH belt
before each use. Use only if the belt is
tightened properly and securely.
This child restraint should be securely
belted in the vehicle even when not in use.
In a crash or sudden stop, an unsecured
child restraint could injure occupants.
Do not use a child restraint that has
been in a crash. You must get a new child
restraint.
