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:

B-3 Child Restraint Use
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-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 owner’s manual for more
information about air bag/child restraint use.
For vehicles without a back seat, refer to your
vehicle owner’s manual.
B-2 Installation in Vehicle
Never take your child out of the child restraint
while the vehicle is moving. Never leave child
unattended.
Placing your child in a hot child restraint may
result in burns.
Do not use a child restraint with damaged or
missing parts.
Do not use cut, frayed or damaged harnesses.
Do not lubricate buckles and fasteners.
Do not substitute parts or try to modify the
child restraint in any way.
Do not use any child restraint accessory
except those approved by Dorel Juvenile Group.
Never allow any child to play with this child
restraint; it is not a toy.
Do not remove or cover up any of the warning
labels or other labels on the child restraint.
Read all instructions for additional warnings.
B. Safety Information
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.
