More children are killed every year as passengers in

car crashes than by any other type of injury.

To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH, read

this owner’s manual and your vehicle owner’s manual

before installing and using this child restraint. Using a child

restraint makes a big difference. By properly using this

child restraint and following these instructions (and the

instructions that accompany your vehicle), you will greatly

reduce the risk of serious injury or death to the child from

a crash. Do not be misled by the commonly used term

“safety seat”; no restraint system can prevent all injuries in

all crashes. Many properly restrained adults and children

are injured in motor vehicle crashes, including relatively

minor crashes. A properly used child restraint is the best

way to minimize injuries to the child and to increase the

chances for the child’s survival in most crashes.

Child Requirements

• No restraint can guarantee absolute protection from

injury in every crash.

• This child restraint is designed for use by children in

WARNING

Air Bag Warnings

• DO NOT use this restraint in the front seat of a vehicle

equipped with an air bag. Air bags may cause serious

injury or death to children 12 and under. If your

vehicle has an air bag, refer to your vehicle owner’s

manual for child restraint installation.

• If the rear seat of your vehicle is equipped with side

air bags, refer to the following information for proper

usage.

Vehicles built prior to the 2002 model year:

DO NOT use this restraint in a vehicle seating position

equipped with a side air bag unless authorized by the

vehicle manufacturer.

Model year 2002 and newer vehicles:

Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual before placing

this restraint in a seating position equipped with a side

air bag.

• DO NOT place any objects between the restraint and

the side air bag, as an expanding air bag may cause

the items to strike the child.

The back seat is the safest place for

children 12 and under.

WARNING

General Warnings

• Failure to follow installation instructions can result in

the child striking the vehicle’s interior during a sudden

stop or crash. Serious injury or death may result.

These instructions and the instructions in your vehicle

owner’s manual must be followed carefully. If there is a

conﬂict between the two, the vehicle owner’s manual

regarding child restraint installation must be followed.

• NEVER leave child unattended.

• DO NOT use child restraint if it is damaged, broken, or

missing parts.

• DO NOT use this restraint if it has been involved in a

crash. It must be replaced.

• NEVER use this child restraint without the headrest

installed.

• NEVER use this child restraint rear-facing.

Location Warnings

• ALWAYS read and follow exactly the instructions that

accompany your vehicle and child restraint.

• According to statistics, children are safer when proper-

ly restrained in a rear seating position than in the front

seating position. Generally, the center rear position is

safest and should be used, if available.

• Some child restraints do not ﬁt all vehicles or all seat-

ing locations. There are many thousands of combina-

tions of vehicle makes, models, child restraint conﬁgu-

rations, seat belt designs, and seat cushion shapes.

The easiest way to determine whether the child

restraint is suitable for a particular seating position is

to check for a tight installation. If the child restraint

cannot be properly installed, DO NOT use the child

restraint. Consult vehicle owner’s manual, try a differ-

ent seating location, or call Evenﬂo.

• ONLY use this child restraint on forward-facing

vehicle seats. DO NOT use this restraint with vehicle

seats that face the rear or side.

• ONLY use this child restraint on vehicle seats with

backs that lock into place.

Forward-facing Position Warnings

•If the child weighs more than 22.6 kg (50 lbs) or their

shoulders are above the highest harness level, you

MUST use this child restraint as a booster (p. 28).

• Adjust, or remove, the vehicle headrest, in the seat

where the child restraint is to be fastened, so that

the back of the child restraint rests against the vehicle

seat back.

• The headrest on the vehicle seat in front of the child

should be put in its lowest position. The vehicle seat

back that the child faces must be fully padded and

free of any hard objects.

Seat Belt Warnings

For 5-point Harness Use Only

• DO NOT use this child restraint if it moves more than

25 mm (1 inch) forward or side-to-side at the vehicle

belt path. Serious injury or death may result from

poor installation. If you cannot tightly secure the child

restraint, try again or move it to another location.

For Both 5-point Harness and Booster Use

• DO NOT use this child restraint in a vehicle with

door-mounted seat belts.

• DO NOT use this child restraint in a vehicle with seat

belts that automatically move along the vehicle frame

when the door is opened. These seat belts will not

hold a child restraint properly.

• If the vehicle seat belts are not routed and fastened

correctly, the child restraint may not protect the child

in a crash.

• DO NOT allow the seat belt release button to touch

the child restraint. Accidental contact may cause the

seat belt to release. If necessary, turn the seat belt

release button away from the child restraint or move

the child restraint to a different location.

• Failure to adjust the harness or vehicle seat belts

snugly around the child may result in the child

striking the vehicle’s interior during a sudden stop

or crash. Serious injury or death may occur.

WARNING

• Remove locking clip from vehicle seat belt when not

used with a child restraint, or the vehicle seat belt will

not properly restrain an adult or child. Serious injury or

death may occur.

Seat Belt Warnings

For Booster Use Only

• When using this booster seat, NEVER use a lap belt

only. You MUST use vehicle seat belts that have a

lap/shoulder combination.

• DO NOT use the locking clip when using this child

restraint as a booster seat.

• The shoulder belt MUST be threaded through the

shoulder belt guide (p. 30).

• DO NOT use this booster seat if the child’s ears are

above the back of the booster seat headrest.

• The shoulder belt MUST NOT cross the child’s neck

or fall off the child’s shoulder. If you cannot adjust

the shoulder belt to properly lay midway between

the child’s shoulder and neck AND at or above the

shoulder, try another seating location or do not use

the booster seat.

LATCH Warnings

For 5-point Harness Use Only

• This LATCH system is intended to be used ONLY as

described in these instructions. Serious injury or death

may result from misuse.

• In addition to these instructions, read and follow your

vehicle owner’s manual regarding installation of the

child restraint and LATCH. If there is a discrepancy,

follow your vehicle owner’s manual.

• ONLY use for securing child restraint to lower LATCH

anchor points.

• NEVER attach two LATCH connectors to one vehicle

lower anchor point.

• NEVER use the vehicle seat belts when using the

LATCH straps. Using both together can cause slack in

a sudden stop or crash.

• When not in use, the LATCH harness and connectors

should be securely stored on child restraint. Keep out

of reach of children.

WARNING

LATCH Warnings – cont.

For 5-point Harness Use Only

• ALWAYS be sure that the LATCH connectors are fully

engaged onto the LATCH anchor points by pulling

hard on the LATCH harness. If they are not totally

engaged, the LATCH system will not secure the child

restraint. Serious injury or death may result.

• DO NOT use this child restraint if it moves more than

25 mm (1 inch) forward or side-to-side at the vehicle

belt path on the child restraint. Serious injury or death

may result from poor installation. If you cannot tightly

secure the child restraint, try again or move it to

another location.

Tether Strap Warnings

• To avoid a strangulation hazard, you MUST tightly roll

or fold excess or unused tether strap and secure with

a rubber band. Attach the tether hooks to the storage

clips when not in use (p. 13). This will keep an unused

tether from hitting someone during a crash.

Additional Warnings

• In hot or sunny weather, ALWAYS check the seat, the

buckle and LATCH hooks, and adjuster for hot areas

before placing a child into the child restraint. The child

could be burned. Cover the child restraint with a light

colored blanket when you leave the vehicle.

• In cold weather, DO NOT dress the child in bulky

clothing like snowsuits if the child is riding in a child

restraint. Bulky coats/snowsuits make it difﬁcult to

properly tighten the harness to the child, which may

allow the child to be ejected from the restraint during

a crash. If necessary, place a blanket over the

harnessed child without interfering with the child

restraint harness system.

• This child restraint must be securely fastened to the

vehicle, even when unoccupied, using the vehicle

seat belts or LATCH connectors. An unsecured child

restraint may injure someone if a crash occurs.

• DO NOT use the cup holder to store cans or hard

cups. Only for use with soft cups (such as styrofoam

or paper).

WARNING

• DO NOT place any cups that contain hot liquids

(such as hot chocolate or tea) in the cup holder.

• DO NOT attach additional items to this child restraint

that are not approved by Evenﬂo. Items not tested

with the child restraint could injure the child.

• Failure to follow installation instructions could result

in serious injury or death. These instructions and the

instructions in your vehicle owner’s manual must be

followed carefully. If there is a conﬂict between the

two, the vehicle owner’s manual regarding child

restraint installation must be followed.

WARNING

• Everyone rides buckled up or the vehicle does

not go.

Make no exceptions for adults or children.

If someone unbuckles, stop the vehicle. Being ﬁrm

and consistent from the start will mean fewer discipline

problems as children get older. An unrestrained person

can be thrown into and injure other passengers.

• NEVER try to tend to a crying baby’s needs while

driving. NEVER take a baby out of a child restraint

for comforting while the vehicle is moving.

• DO NOT allow a child in a vehicle to have objects

such as lollipops or ice cream on a stick. The object

can injure the child if the vehicle swerves or hits a

bump.

• DO NOT feed an infant who is riding in a child

restraint.

• Put sharp or heavy items in the trunk. Anything loose

can be deadly in a crash.

Safe Practices

When used WITH the 5-point harness system:

This restraint is certiﬁed for use in motor vehicles

and aircraft.

Check with

your airline before

departure to make sure

this restraint meets

their requirements.

Tip!

When used WITHOUT the

5-point harness as a Booster:

This booster seat is NOT certiﬁed

for aircraft use. A belt-positioning

booster seat requires the use of a

lap/shoulder belt system, which is

not available on aircraft.
