NEVER install this Child Restraint rear facing in a vehicle seating position with a frontal air bag unless it is turned off. If your vehicle is equipped with front passenger side air bags, check your vehicle owner's manual for Child Restraint installation instructions.

UAS (Universal Anchor System) is a system for installing a Child Restraint in a vehicle without using the vehicle belts. Refer to your vehicle owner's manual to determine if your vehicle is equipped with UAS, and how to correctly use UAS to install this Child Restraint in your vehicle.
DO NOT USE the UAS lower anchor belts to attach this Child Restraint rear facing when restraining a child weighing over 15.8 kg (35 lbs) or forward facing when restraining a child weighing over 18.1 kg (40 lbs).
This Child Restraint is designed to be used with lower UAS anchors at the standard spacing of 11 inches (28 cm).
UAS lower vehicle anchor points are defined as 28 cm (11 inches) from the center of one UAS anchor to the center of another UAS anchor.
DO NOT USE the UAS universal anchor belts to attach this Child Restraint rear facing when restraining a child weighing over 15.8 kg (35 lbs) or forward facing when restraining a child weighing over 18.1 kg (40 lbs). Check your vehicle owner's manual for Tether Anchor weight limits.

NEVER use a Child Restraint in a vehicle seating position where it cannot be correctly secured. An incorrectly installed Child Restraint will not protect your child in a crash.
The following types of vehicle belts CAN BE USED to install this Child Restraint.
Belts MUST be able to be locked.
Refer to vehicle owner's manual to determine if the belts in your vehicle lock by switching the seat belt's retractor or they have a locking latch plate that locks the vehicle's seat belts so they will not move freely.
If the belt cannot be locked using one of these methods, contact Nuna Customer Service for a locking clip.
Vehicle belts that CANNOT BE USED with your child restraint:
