The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends that car seats be replaced following a MODERATE OR SEVERE COLLISION in order to ensure a continued high level of collision protection for child passengers.
Car seats do not automatically need to be replaced following a MINOR collision.
NHTSA defines a MINOR collision as ALL of the following:
NEVER use a car seat that has been involved in a MODERATE OR SEVERE COLLISION.
The safest seating position is one that works best for your specific child restraint, family and vehicle model.
Before installing this child restraint you must determine the method of installation and the best vehicle seating position for that method.
When determining whether the child restraint can be used with vehicle LATCH anchors in the rear center seating position, it is critical that you refer to your vehicle owner's instruction book. If the child restraint does not install best in the rear center seating location, it is recommended to move to one of the outboard seating positions.
Some vehicle seat belt systems cannot be used with this booster seat.
ATTACHING THE BACKREST
Unsecured objects can become flying hazards and can cause serious injury in an accident. If your vehicle is equipped with lower anchors, Diono always recommends installation utilizing the LATCH connectors with this booster seat.
To improve safety and performance, this booster seat is equipped with a lower anchorage system that allows secure attachment to a vehicle's lower anchor locations.
NOTE: Even with LATCH connectors properly attached and adjusted, child seat will still have movement against the vehicle seat back and bottom.
Do not use LATCH if installation interferes with vehicle seat belt.
When using booster seat in center seating position, make sure it is stable and does not rock from side to side.
ADJUSTING THE RECLINE ANGLE
This booster seat features a recline angle that can be adjusted to match that of the vehicle seat:
It may also be necessary to adjust the recline angle of the booster seat to match that of the vehicle seat.
DISENGAGING LOWER ANCHOR INSTALLATION
Follow the previous instructions in reverse order.
Do not use LATCH if installation interferes with vehicle seat belt.
ADJUSTING THE HEAD SUPPORT
The head support height can be adjusted for best fit to your child and to ensure proper placement of the Vehicle Shoulder Belt. Squeeze the head support adjustment lever on the back of the booster seat while adjusting its height up or down to fit the child.
ADJUSTING BACKREST WIDTH
To adjust the width of the seat back, turn the dial on the back of the backrest clockwise to increase width. Turn counterclockwise to make the backrest narrower.
NOTE: It may be easier to adjust backrest width prior to securing the booster seat installation using LATCH.
Use ONLY the lap and shoulder belt system when restraining the child in this booster seat. DO NOT use lap belt only.
The Vehicle Shoulder Belt MUST route completely through the RED shoulder belt guide and not fall off the child's shoulder.
DO NOT position the Vehicle Lap Belt over the armrest. It MUST pass under the armrest.
When using the diagonal portion of the seat belt, it should lay over the shoulder and should NOT be touching the child's neck.
PROPER BUCKLE POSITION
After booster seat is installed and seat belt is fastened around child, it is important to confirm correct seat belt buckle position to ensure secure installation.
CORRECT SEAT BUCKLE POSITION
Buckle is on the outside of lower belt guide.
INCORRECT SEAT BUCKLE POSITION
If buckle is being pulled across the lower belt guide and into the seat, choose another seating position within the vehicle.
While this booster seat is designed to offer advanced side-impact protection with its backrest section attached, the seat bottom can also be used alone as a backless booster.
NEVER position the shoulder belt loosely or under the child's arm or behind their back.
USING THE SHOULDER BELT GUIDE STRAP
If the diagonal seat belt portion does not correctly fit the child, then the seat must be used with the shoulder belt guide strap or with the seatback portion attached and properly adjusted to fit the child.
Cup holders are located on both sides of the seat bottom.
Swivel outward to the locked position for use.
Swivel inward to the recessed and locked position when not in use.
DO NOT use with hot liquids as this could burn a child.
Do not step on or put excess weight on the cup holder which could cause it to break.
REMOVING THE COVER
DO NOT use solvents, detergents or any other chemical or cleaning agent. DO NOT lubricate any part of the seat.
