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

rear of the vehicle and be in the fully
reclined position when the child weighs
between 5-35 lbs. (2.3-16 kg) and is less

forward facing.
Check vehicle instructions for more
information about air bag/child restraint

for your child’s size.
The harness must be snug.
Do not lubricate buckles and fasteners.
Failure to follow these warnings can result
in the serious injury or death of your child.

which are most critical for your child’s
safety, we use this symbol

belts. Use on forward-facing aircraft seats only and in a
position where the lap belt can be tightened securely. This
child restraint is installed in an aircraft seat the same way it
is installed in a vehicle.
Use the child restraint only with F.A.A. certified equipment.
Contact the airline prior to taking a child restraint on
board in order to comply with their specific regulations.
Aircraft Installation
General and Warm Weather Use

following precautions:
1. Park in the shade or where sun does not directly hit the
child restraint.
2. Cover the child restraint with a sheet or blanket when
not in use.
3. Check for hot seat and buckles before placing child in
child restraint.
