Important Notes

• Do not install with LUAS for a child weighing more than
15.8 kg (35 lbs) rear facing or 18 kg (40 lbs) forward

damaged; and
c. No vehicle occupants were injured; and
d. There is no visible damage to the child seat; and
e. The airbags (if present) did not deploy.

used. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of it.
• Do not, except as described in this booklet, attempt to
disassemble any part of the child seat or change the way
the harness or vehicle's seat belts are used.
