WARNING
Forward-facing Position Warnings
• If the child weighs more than 29.4 kg (65 lbs) or their
shoulders are above the highest harness level, you
MUST use this child restraint as a booster (p. 34).
• Adjust, or remove, the vehicle headrest, in the seat
where the child restraint is to be fastened, so that
the back of the child restraint rests against the vehicle
seat back.
• The headrest on the vehicle seat in front of the child
should be put in its lowest position. The vehicle seat
back that the child faces must be fully padded and
free of any hard objects.
Seat Belt Warnings
For 5-point Harness Use Only
• DO NOT use this child restraint if it moves more than
25 mm (1 inch) forward or side-to-side at the vehicle
belt path. Serious injury or death may result from poor
installation. If you can not tightly secure the child
restraint, try again or move it to another location.
For Both 5-point Harness and Booster Use
• DO NOT use this child restraint in a vehicle with
door-mounted seat belts.
• DO NOT use this child restraint in a vehicle 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.
• DO NOT use this child restraint in a vehicle equipped
with lap belts that only lock during a sudden stop or
crash (emergency locking retractor – ELR). You must
use a seating location with a locking seat belt. Check
your vehicle owner's manual to see if you have lap
belts with ELRs.
• If the vehicle seat belts are not routed and fastened
correctly, the child restraint may not protect the child
in a crash.
• DO NOT allow the seat belt release button to touch
the child restraint. Accidental contact may cause the
seat belt to release. If necessary, turn the seat belt
release button away from the child restraint or move
the child restraint to a different location.
• Failure to adjust the harness or vehicle seat belts
snugly around the child may result in the child
striking the vehicle's interior during a sudden stop
or crash. Serious injury or death may occur.
