Installation Guide

! Choose the correct mode of use for the car seat depending on your child’s size.

Infants less than 22 lb (10 kg) MUST use this car seat rear-facing.

! Review your vehicle owner’s manual for more information about air bags and car

seat use.

! If your vehicle does not have a back seat, review your vehicle owner’s manual.

! Select a suitable location for the car seat in your vehicle.

! The American Academy of Pediatricians (AAP) recommends that children ride rear-

facing until the age of 2 or until they reach the maximum rear-facing height or

weight rating for their seat, and when forward-facing, children should use the built-

in harness system for as long as possible until they reach the maximum forward-

facing weight or height for their car seat. After reaching the maximum forward-

facing weight or height, they also recommend that children 4 feet 9 inches (145 cm)

tall or under should ride in a belt-positioning booster seat.

! Secure car seat with a vehicle seat belt or LATCH that is properly routed as shown

in this manual.

! Vehicle seat belt system MUST hold car seat securely. Not all vehicle seat belts can

be used with a car seat.

! If vehicle seat belt does not hold car seat securely, read “Vehicle Seat Belts”

section 9-C and your vehicle owner’s manual.

! Always secure car seat with LATCH or a vehicle seat belt, even when unoccupied. In

a crash, an unsecured car seat can injure passengers.

! If car seat is in a crash, it must be replaced. DO NOT use it again! A crash can

cause unseen damage and using it again could result in serious injury or death.
