All rights reserved. Printed in Australia Introduction Read and understand this information booklet before using this product. It is recommended that you store this booklet so you can consult it often to ensure that you are using the restraint correctly. This child restraint is designed for use only by children who weigh between 5 and 40 pounds (2.3 and 18 kg) and whose height is between 19 and 40 inches (48 and 102 cm). Rear facing use should be limited to children who weigh between 5 and 30 pounds (2.3 and 13.6 kg). Forward facing use should be limited to children who weigh between 20 and 40 pounds (9 and 18 kg). This child restraint system conforms to all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards. This restraint is certified for use in motor vehicles and aircraft. This child restraint must not be used in the home, in boats, or other non-certified applications. This child restraint is LATCH compatible. Important Notes • Verify that the child restraint is secure and that the harness is properly adjusted around your child each time you use the child restraint. • Adjust the harness to fit the clothes your child is wearing. The fit for a child in winter clothes will differ from a child in summer clothes. • Cover the child restraint if your vehicle is parked in direct sunlight. Parts of the child restraint can become hot to the touch in sunny weather. • Store the child restraint in a safe place when it is not being used. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of it. • Discontinue use of a child restraint that is older than six years or has been in a severe crash. This ensures that no deterioration or hidden damage has occurred. • DO NOT leave children alone in a vehicle, even for a short time. • DO NOT, except as described in this booklet, attempt to disassemble any part of the child restraint or change the way its harness or your vehicle seat belts are used. • DO NOT leave loose objects, e.g. books, bags, etc., in the back of your vehicle. In the event of a sudden stop, loose objects will keep moving, potentially causing serious injuries. • DO NOT leave folding vehicle seats unlatched. In the event of a sudden stop, a loose seat back could prevent the child restraint from protecting your child as well as it should. • DO NOT allow children to play with the child restraint. • DO NOT use anything to raise the restraint off the vehicle seat. In an accident, it could slide and be unable to protect your child as well as it should. Safety Information • FAILURE TO FOLLOW EACH OF THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN YOUR CHILD STRIKING THE VEHICLE’S INTERIOR DURING A SUDDEN STOP OR CRASH. SECURE THIS CHILD RESTRAINT WITH A VEHICLE BELT AS SPECIFIED IN THIS USER GUIDE. • According to accident statistics, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recommends that parents select the rear seat as the safest location for a properly installed child restraint. However, the actual dimensions of the vehicle seat and the details of the safety belts used to anchor the child restraint differ from vehicle to vehicle. Please study the section on Vehicle Seat Belts in this booklet for the safety assurance of your child. If in doubt about installing your child restraint, consult your vehicle owner’s manual. • Secure this child restraint with the vehicle belts even when it is not occupied. In a crash, an unsecured child restraint may injure vehicle occupants. • When the LATCH Connectors are not in use, they mus...
