Graco SlimFit3 LX Instruction Manual page 24

! 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.
! Children are safer riding rear-facing and should ride rear-facing as long as
possible, until they reach the maximum rear-facing height or weight rating
for their car seat. Then children should ride forward-facing, using the built-in
harness system for as long as possible until they reach the maximum forward-
facing weight or height for their car seat. At that point, children should ride in
a belt-positioning booster seat. A booster is no longer needed once the vehicle
seat belt fits properly, typically when they reach 4 feet 9 inches (145 cm) tall
and are between ages 8-12. Be sure to check your local and state laws, as well
as AAP and NHTSA recommendations, for car seat usage.*
! 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.
! Select a suitable location for the car seat in your vehicle.
! Secure car seat with a vehicle seat belt or lower anchor attachment 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 10-D and your vehicle owner's manual.
