follow your vehicle owner's manual.
Top Tether Warnings
• Top tether strap is for forward-facing ONLY.
• Failure to secure the top tether strap (provided) as
specified in these instructions could result in serious injury.

crash (emergency locking retractors) AND/OR if your
vehicle has seat belts whose buckles extend from a slot
in the vehicle seat cushion in front of the crease where
the seat and back cushions meet. Otherwise the child
restraint cannot be installed tightly, increasing the risk of
injury to your child. Check your vehicle owner's manual to
see if your vehicle has emergency locking retractors.
• To avoid a strangulation hazard, you
fold excess tether strap and secure with the strap/rubber
band. Attach the tether hook to the storage clip when
not in use. This will keep an unused tether from hitting
someone during a crash.
Additional Warnings

crash. It must be replaced.
• NEVER leave child unattended.

WARNING
• Failure to follow installation instructions could result
in serious injury or death. These instructions and the
instructions in your vehicle owner's manual must be
followed carefully. If there is a conflict between the two,
the vehicle owner's manual regarding child
restraint installation must be followed.

and lower anchor connectors, and adjuster for hot areas
before placing a child into the child restraint. The child
could be burned. Cover the child restraint with a light
colored blanket when you leave the
vehicle.
• In cold weather, DO NOT
clothing like snowsuits if the child is riding in a child
restraint. Bulky coats/snowsuits make it difficult to
properly tighten the harness to the child which may
allow the child to be ejected from the restraint during a
crash. If necessary, place a blanket over the
harnessed child without interfering with the child restraint
harness system.
• Children have STRANGLED in loose or partially
buckled harness straps. Fully restrain the child.
