SAFE USE REQUIREMENTS:
This child restraint is designed for use ONLY with children who weigh 40–120 lb (18–54 kg) AND whose height is 38–63 in (97–160 cm).

Use ONLY the vehicle's lap and shoulder belt system when restraining the child in this booster seat. DO NOT use a lap belt only!

Use ONLY with children whose ears are below the top of the fully raised vehicle headrest.

WARNINGS

DO NOT PLACE A CHILD RESTRAINT IN THE FRONT SEAT OF A VEHICLE WITH A PASSENGER AIR BAG. DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY MAY OCCUR.
If an air bag inflates, it can hit the child or child restraint with enough force to cause serious injury or death to your child.
The back seat is the safest place for children 12 and under. Refer to your vehicle owner's manual for information on your child restraint installation.

DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur

Use ONLY with children who weigh 40–120 lb (18–54 kg) AND whose height is 38–63 in (97–160 cm).

DO NOT use with hot liquids as this could burn a child.
ALWAYS check all surfaces of restraint before securing your child. In warm weather, child restraints can become very hot. Do not allow children to play with vehicle seat belts.

VEHICLE SEATING LOCATIONS

According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating positions.
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.

PRODUCT USE AFTER A COLLISION

UNITED STATES
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. In the U.S., car seats do not automatically need to be replaced following a MINOR collision.

NHTSA defines a MINOR crash as one in which ALL of the following apply:

The vehicle was able to be driven away from the crash site.
The vehicle door nearest the car seat was not damaged.
None of the passengers in the vehicle sustained any injuries in the crash.
If the vehicle has air bags, the air bags did not deploy during the crash; and
There is no visible damage to the car seat.

NEVER use a car seat that has been involved in a MODERATE or SEVERE collision.

CANADA

DO NOT USE THIS CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM IF IT HAS BEEN IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
Transport Canada designates that you MUST replace this child restraint if it has been involved in a collision.
You must dispose of your child seat or booset seat if the child seat was in a vehicle during a crash. Even if the child seat was empty or was not directly hit, it may be damaged.
You must dispose of your child seat or booset seat if the shell is cracked or the webbing of the child car seat is frayed, torn or discolored.

SECURING THE CHILD

Use ONLY vehicle's the lap and shoulder belt system when restraining the child in this booster seat. DO NOT use lap belt only.

Only use with children whose ears are below the top of the vehicle seat or headrest.

Place booster seat on vehicle seat so it is resting firmly on vehicle seat bottom and touching the vehicle seat back.
Properly position child into installed seat, sitting upright and all the way back in the booster seat.
Fasten vehicle seat belt across child. The lap portion of the seat belt should rest within both lower belt guides. Make sure the vehicle seat belt is not twisted and lays flat across child's hips, torso and shoulder.
Tighten the seat belt by pulling the diagonal shoulder belt portion in the direction of the arrows.

DO NOT position the vehicle shoulder belt over the armrest. It MUST pass under the lower belt guide.

ALWAYS make sure the vehicle seat belt can properly retract before each use.
NEVER position the shoulder belt loosely or under the child's arm or behind their back.

The vehicle shoulder belt should lay over the shoulder and should NOT be touching the child's neck.

When using booster seat in center seating position, make sure it is stable and does not rock from side-to-side, otherwise choose a different seating position.

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.

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 attached and properly adjusted to fit the child.

Remove shoulder belt guide strap from storage area underneath seat.
Position child correctly in seat, making sure lap and shoulder belts are positioned properly across child.
Attach the RED shoulder belt guide strap onto the diagonal shoulder belt.
Adjust strap to correct length, so that the RED guide is just above shoulder.
