Air Bag Warnings
• DO NOT use this restraint in the front seat of a
vehicle equipped with an air bag. Interaction
between a rear facing restraint and air bags may
cause serious injury or death. If your vehicle has an
air bag, refer to the vehicle owner's manual for
child restraint installation.
• If the rear seat of your vehicle is equipped with side
air bags, refer to the following information for proper
usage.
Vehicles built prior to the 2002 model year:
DO NOT use this restraint in a vehicle seating
position equipped with a side air bag unless
authorized by the vehicle manufacturer.
Model year 2002 and newer vehicles:
Refer to your vehicle owner's manual before placing
this restraint in a seating position equipped with a
side air bag.
• DO NOT place any objects between the restraint and
the side air bag, as an expanding air bag may cause
the items to strike your child.

WARNING
Location Warnings
• ALWAYS read and follow exactly the instructions
that accompany your vehicle and child restraint.
• According to accident statistics, children are safer
when properly restrained in a rear seating position
than in a front seating position. Generally, the center
rear is safest and should be used if available. Children
12 and under should ride in the back seat of the
vehicle.
• If you are unable to use the center rear seating
position and have to install this child restraint
directly behind a front vehicle seat, ensure that there
is at least 38 mm (1.5 inches) of space between
any part of the child restraint and the vehicle seat
that is closest to the child's head. This space may be
necessary for the child restraint to properly perform
in certain types of crashes.
• ONLY use this child restraint on forward-facing
vehicle seats. DO NOT
face the rear or side.
• ONLY use this child restraint on vehicle seats with
backs that lock into place.
• Some child restraints do not fit all vehicles or all
seating locations. There are thousands of
combinations of vehicle makes, models, child
restraint configurations, seat belt designs and seat
cushion shapes. The easiest way to determine
whether your child restraint is suitable for a particular
seating position is to check for a tight installation. If
the child restraint cannot be properly installed,
NOT use this child restraint. Consult vehicle owner's
manual, try a different seating location or call
Evenflo at 1-800-233-5921 (U.S), or
1-937-773-3971 (Canada).
Vehicle Seat Belt Warnings
• DO NOT use this child restraint in a vehicle seating
position with door-mounted seat belts.
• DO NOT use this child restraint in a vehicle seating
position with seat belts that automatically move
along the vehicle frame when the door is opened.
These seat belts will not hold a child restraint
properly.
