Model - I440

Dear Parents,

Thank you for purchasing The First Years Via I440.
We hope that it will make your baby’s travel safer, easier,
and more pleasant.

We believe the Via I440 is the easiest Infant Seat to use.
We do more testing than most companies to make it as safe
as possible. And, we use the latest methods to assure the
highest quality.

The First Years monitors the molding of every key plastic
part. Our MoldTrac technology allows us to watch every part
as it is molded. In addition, we place a number on each seat
so key parts can be traced. You will find this number on the
bottom of your seat and on the top of your base.

We have tried very hard to keep our instructions simple and
understandable. We apologize for beginning our instructions
with so many warnings but they are very important for you to
properly restrain your child. Read and understand all of the
instructions and warnings. The safety of your child depends
on it!

If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact
the

the First Years Staff at 1-888-899-2229
