WARNING
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY CAN OCCUR

Install Child Restraint Correctly
· WHEN USING THIS CHILD RESTRAINT REAR-FACING, DO NOT PLACE THIS CHILD RESTRAINT IN VEHICLE SEATING LOCATION WITH A FRONTAL AIR BAG, UNLESS THE AIR BAG CAN BE TURNED OFF. If the airbag inflates, it can cause serious injury or death to your child. For vehicles with side air bags, refer to your vehicle owner's manual for information on your Child Restraint installation.
· ALWAYS install this Child Restraint in a back seat if possible.

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

· NEVER install on a rear-facing or side-facing vehicle seat, or on the back of a folded down vehicle seat.

· ALWAYS secure this Child Restraint with the vehicle's Child Restraint anchorage system (LATCH) if available

OR the vehicle seat belt. Refer to Page 5 for proper use/child weight limits when installing with LATCH.

· DO NOT use the lower anchors of the Child Restraint anchorage system (LATCH system) to attach

this Child Restraint REAR-FACING when restraining a child weighing more than 35 lbs (15.9 kg) or

FORWARD-FACING with the internal harness when restraining a child weighing more than 40 lbs (18 kg).

IMPORTANT WARNINGS

WARNING

· NEVER use Child Restraint in a vehicle seating position where it cannot be secured tightly when installed for harness mode. A loosely installed Child Restraint will not protect your child in a crash.
· Never leave Child Restraint unsecured in your vehicle even when it is unoccupied. It could injure other occupants in a sudden stop or crash.
· DO NOT install this Child Restraint using an inflatable seat belt. The interaction of the inflatable portion of the vehicle's belt with this Child Restraint can result in serious injury or death. Install using LATCH instead, or move the Child Restraint to a position with a suitable seat belt type. Refer to your vehicle owner's manual for instructions for use in Booster Mode.

BEST PRACTICES

· Ensure all vehicle occupants are properly restrained before traveling. Unrestrained

occupants can be thrown around and may be seriously injured or seriously injure other

occupants in a sharp turn, sudden stop or crash.

· Do not leave loose objects, such as books, bags, etc., in the back of the vehicle. In the

event of a sharp turn, sudden stop, or crash, loose objects can be thrown around and

possibly cause serious injury to vehicle occupants.

· Cover the Child Restraint when the vehicle is parked in sunlight. Parts of a Child Restraint

can become very hot if left in the sun. Contact with these parts can burn a child's skin.

Always check the surface of any metal or plastic parts before putting your child in the

Child Restraint.

· To avoid strangulation, Do not allow children to play with vehicle seat belts. If possible,

move unused belts out of reach.

· Do not use anything to raise the Child Restraint off the vehicle seat such as a noodle

or towel. In a sharp turn, sudden stop, or crash, the Child Restraint could slide and

potentially cause serious injury.

· Never use a second-hand Child Restraint with an unknown history.

· Never use any accessories that are not included with this Child Restraint, unless

specifically approved by Chicco. For more information, go to www.chiccousa.com.

VEHICLE INFORMATION VEHICLE INFORMATION

WHAT IS LATCH?

WARNING: This Child Restraint is designed to be used with lower anchors at the standard spacing (11 inches (28 cm)) ONLY! Refer to vehicle owner's manual for information about LATCH and Child Restraint installation positions.

LATCH = Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren

United States Motor Vehicle Safety Standards have defined a system for installing Child Restraints in vehicles called LATCH. LATCH may ONLY be used IN PLACE OF vehicle belt if the vehicle is equipped with LATCH anchor points. DO NOT use both the seat belt and LATCH at the same time. Please refer to the vehicle
owner's manual for designated LATCH locations in vehicles.

LATCH in the vehicle consists of a top tether anchor point and two lower anchor points. Some vehicles owner's manual use the term "ISOFIX". LATCH can also be used in vehicle seating positions equipped with ISOFIX.

If the vehicle is equipped with LATCH, the vehicle lower anchor points may be visible at

the seat crease. If not visible, the seating position may be marked with a symbol (fig. a) or

a colored dot. Check the vehicle owner's manual for vehicle top tether anchor locations.

They may be identified using one of the anchor symbols (fig. b or fig. c).

VEHICLE INFORMATION VEHICLE INFORMATION

WHAT IS A TETHER?
The tether is a strap on your child restraint that connects to a tether anchor in your vehicle. Tether anchor locations vary from vehicle to vehicle. Check your vehicle owner's manual and look for the tether anchor symbol as shown. A tether reduces movement of a forward- facing Child Restraint in a crash and helps to achieve a tight installation. Vehicle tether anchors can be found in many different locations. Some of the typical locations are shown on the next page. Refer to your vehicle owner's manual for exact locations, anchor identification, and requirements.
