WARNING
Failure to follow each of the installation
instructions can result in your child striking the
vehicle's interior during a sudden stop or crash.
Serious injury or death may result.
Premature infants may have difficulty breathing
when in a sitting position. Consult your doctor
before using this or any child restraint with a
premature infant.
DO NOT use this restraint in any vehicle
position equipped with an air bag. Interaction
between a rear facing restraint and air bags may
cause serious injury or death. If your vehicle has
an air bag, refer to the vehicle owner's manual for
child restraint installation.
NEVER leave child unattended.
NEVER place this child restraint on beds, sofas, or
other soft surfaces. The child restraint can roll
over on soft surfaces and suffocate your child.
NEVER place this restraint near the edges of
counter tops, tables or other high surfaces. The
childs movements can cause the child restraint to
slide.
When using this child restraint, always keep the
harness buckled and the straps snug against the
child. A child may strangle when straps are loose
or undone.
IMPORTANT
You will find the convenience base makes the child
restraint even easier to use because it eliminates the
need to buckle the vehicle seat belt each time you use
the child restraint in your vehicle.

AIRPLANE USAGE
This restraint meets FAA inversion requirements for
airplane use. Airplane installation is the same as
vehicle installation. Turn the top of the airplane seat
belt buckle away from the restraint for easy release.
SAFE PRACTICES
The first and most important thing to do is to
make a firm family rule: Everyone rides buckled
up or the car doesnt go. Make no exceptions for
adults or children. If someone unbuckles, stop the
car. Being firm and consistent right from the start will
mean fewer discipline problems as children get older.
An unrestrained child or adult can be thrown into and
injure other passengers.
NEVER try to tend to a crying babys needs while
driving. NEVER take a baby out of the child restraint for comforting while the vehicle is moving.
NEVER make an exception and let your child ride
outside the restraint. This will lead to many discipline problems, and your infant could get hurt in a
sudden stop or crash.
DO NOT feed an infant who is riding in a child
restraint.
DO NOT allow a child to have anything like a lollipop
or ice cream on a stick. A collision, bump, or swerve
could cause these objects to injure the child.
DO NOT allow sharp or heavy objects to be loose in
the car. Put groceries in the trunk. Anything loose
can be deadly in a crash.
In cold weather, baby may need a blanket for extra
warmth. Place baby in the restraint and cover both
baby and restraint. DO NOT place blanket underneath harness straps.
