tꢀFAILURE TO PROPERLY USE THIS CHILD RESTRAINT increases the risk of  
serious injury or death in a sharp turn, sudden stop or crash. Your child’s safety  
depends on you installing and using this child restraint correctly. Failure to  
follow these instructions and child restraint labels can result in child striking the  
vehicle’s interior during a sudden stop or crash.  
tꢀEVEN IF USING THIS CHILD RESTRAINT seems easy to figure out on your own,  
it is very important to READ THE OWNER’S MANUAL and the vehicle owner’s  
manual.

1. CHOOSING THE CORRECT MODE OF USE for the child restraint depending  
on your child’s size. Infants less than 20 lbs. must use this child restraint  
rear-facing.  
2. SELECTING A SUITABLE LOCATION for the child restraint in your vehicle.  
Some seating positions, such as those equipped with air bags, may not be  
safe locations for this child restraint.  
3. PROPERLY ROUTING THE VEHICLE SEAT BELT OR LATCH.

4. PROPERLY SECURING THE CHILD RESTRAINT IN THE VEHICLE using a  
seat belt designed to restrain a child restraint or by using LATCH. Many seat  
belts are NOT safe to use with this child restraint, even though they can easily  
be threaded through or around the child restraint! Vehicle seat belt system  
MUST hold child restraint securely. Not all vehicle seat belts can be used with  
a child restraint. If vehicle seat belt does not hold child restraint securely, read  
“7.0 Choosing An Appropriate Vehicle Seat Location, p. 22-26.  
5. PROPERLY SECURING YOUR CHILD IN THE CHILD RESTRAINT.  
tꢀNEVER LEAVE YOUR CHILD UNATTENDED.

tꢀDO NOT INSTALL OR USE THIS CHILD RESTRAINT AND BASE UNTIL YOU

YOUR VEHICLE OWNER’S MANUAL. DO NOT let others install or use the child  
restraint unless they understand how to use it.  
tꢀIF CHILD RESTRAINT IS IN A CRASH, it must be replaced. DO NOT use it again!  
A crash can cause unseen damage and using it again could result in serious  
injury or death. DO NOT use child restraint if it is damaged or missing parts.  
DO NOT use a cut, frayed or damaged child restraint harness, vehicle seat belt or  
LATCH belts.  
tꢀNEVER LEAVE A CHILD RESTRAINT and base unsecured in your vehicle. An  
unsecured child restraint or base can be thrown around and may injure

securely belted in the vehicle. If not using LATCH, make sure unsecured LATCH  
connectors are properly stored on base.

7.1 Vehicle Seat Location Requirements  
IMPROPER PLACEMENT OF THE CHILD  
RESTRAINT INCREASES THE RISK OF  
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. Some seating  
positions in your vehicle may not be safe for this child restraint. Some  
vehicles do not have any seating positions that can be used safely with the  
child restraint. If you are not sure where to place the child restraint in your  
vehicle, consult your vehicle owner’s manual or call Graco Children’s Products  
Inc., at 1-800-345-4109.  
tꢀChildren are safer when properly  
restrained in rear vehicle seating  
positions.  
Whenever possible secure the child  
restraint in the center position of the seat  
directly behind the front seats.  
However, this position is sometimes  
equipped with a lap belt only and cannot  
be used when this child restraint is used  
without the built-in harness.  
tꢀ5IFꢀWFIJDMFꢀTFBUꢀNVTUꢀGBDFꢀ  
forward. Do not use child  
restraints on rear-facing or  
side-facing vehicle seats.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.co2m2. All Manuals Search And Download.  
7.2 Vehicle Seat Belt Requirements  
MANY SEAT BELT SYSTEMS ARE NOT SAFE TO USE  
WITH THE CHILD RESTRAINT. THE VEHICLE SEAT  
BELT MUST BE DESIGNED TO HOLD THE CHILD  
RESTRAINT TIGHTLY AT ALL TIMES. DO NOT USE A VEHICLE BELT THAT  
CHANGES LENGTH WHILE DRIVING. Pay careful attention to these systems; some  
of the seat belts that are not safe to use look very much like seat belts that are safe  
to use. If you are unsure, consult your vehicle owner’s manual or call Graco Children’s  
Products Inc., at 1-800-345-4109.  
7.3 SAFE Vehicle Seat Belt Systems  
THE FOLLOWING BELT SYSTEMS CAN BE USED WITH YOUR CHILD RESTRAINT,  
IF the seat location meets all other requirements of these instructions and those in

8.1 What is LATCH?  
United States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards have defined a system for  
installing child restraints in vehicles. The system is called LATCH.  
LATCHꢀTUBOETꢀGPSꢂꢀ  
Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren.  
LATCH in the vehicle consists of a top tether anchor point and two lower anchor  
points.  
Some vehicle owner manuals use the term ISOFIX to identify the new child  
restraint anchor system. This child restraint with LATCH can also be used in  
vehicle seating positions equipped with ISOFIX.  
Newer vehicles have one or more seating positions with LATCH anchor points. If  
vehicle is equipped with LATCH, the vehicle lower anchor points may be visible at  
the vehicle seat crease. If not visible, they may be marked with this symbol  
.
CHECK vehicle owner’s manual for vehicle top tether anchor locations. They may  
be identified using one of the anchor symbols as shown  
.
ONLY use LATCH on a child restraint in a seating position recommended by  
vehicle manufacturer.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.co2m7. All Manuals Search And Download.  
NOTE: Some vehicle manufacturers have lower maximum weight ratings for LATCH  
anchors, so you must consult your vehicle owner’s manual or call the  
vehicle manufacturer to confirm the limits on your vehicle’s LATCH anchors.  
Use vehicle belt (not LATCH connectors) for installations with children weighing  
more than 48 pounds (21.7 kg).

attached lower anchor belt and a top  
tether strap.  
LATCH lower vehicle anchor points are  
defined as 11 inches from the center of  
one LATCH anchor to the center of  
another LATCH anchor.  
ONLY use LATCH in a seating position  
recommended by vehicle manufacturer. If allowed by your Vehicle Owners  
Manual, the center seating position  
maybe used if the anchor spacing is 11”
