• Use only with children who weigh between 35 and 115
pounds (15.9 and 52.2 kg) and whose height is between
33.5 and 62 inches (85 and 157.5 cm).
• Snugly adjust the belts provided with this child restraint
around your child. A snug strap should not allow any
slack. It lies in a relatively straight line without sagging. It
does not press on the child’s flesh or push the child’s body
into an unnatural position.
• Secure the top anchorage strap provided with this child
restraint.
• Secure this child restraint with the vehicle’s child restraint
anchorage system if available or with a vehicle belt.
• Follow all instructions on this child restraint and in the
written instructions located in the pocket on the side of
the restraint.
• Register your child restraint with the manufacturer.
• For children weighing more than 48 pounds, attach the
child restraint with the vehicle’s seat belt. Do not use
the lower “LATCH” anchors.
• According to accident statistics, children are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in
the front seating positions.
• Add-on child restraint systems should be securely belted
to the vehicle, even when they are not occupied, since in a
crash an unsecured child restraint system may injure other
occupants.
• This child restraint conforms to all applicable Federal motor
vehicle safety standards. This Restraint is not Certified
for Use on Aircraft.
