WARNING
Air Bag Warning
• DO NOT use this child restraint in the front seat of a
vehicle equipped with an air bag, unless the air bag has
been deactivated. Interaction between a rear-facing
restraint and air bags may cause serious injury or death.
Air bags may cause serious injury or death to children 12
years of age and under. If your vehicle has an air bag,
refer to your 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
• According to statistics, children are safer when properly
restrained in a rear seating position than in the front
seating position. Generally, the center rear position is
safest and should be used if available. Children 12 and
under should ride in the back seat of the vehicle.
• ONLY use this child restraint on forward-facing vehicle
seats. DO NOT use this restraint with vehicle seats that
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 many 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 can not be properly
installed, DO NOT use the child restraint. Consult vehicle
owner's manual, try a
different seating location or call Evenflo.
Premature Infants
• DO NOT use this or any child restraint with a premature
infant until after consulting your doctor. Premature infants
may have difficulty breathing when in a sitting position.
Rear-facing Warnings
• DO NOT use this child restraint rear facing in a vehicle
equipped with lap belts that only lock during a sudden
stop or crash (emergency locking retractors). 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
emergency locking retractors.
• When using this restraint rear-facing,
the vehicle seat belt to provide more leg room as this will
prevent the child restraint from protecting your child.
• Fold-down armrests could pose a hazard to a rear-
facing child in certain types of collisions. Consult your
vehicle owner's manual before installing any rear-
facing child restraint in front of a fold-down armrest.
• NEVER turn a child restraint forward-facing with an
infant weighing less than 10 kg (22 lb.) or less than one
year of age, crash forces may cause serious injury
or death.
DO NOT loosen
