5 4 General Warnings • Failure to follow the Child Requirements for forward- facing and belt-positioning use of this child restraint could result in serious injury or death. (See page 2 for Child Requirements). • Failure to follow these installation instructions and the instructions and warnings on the product 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. •
leave child unattended. •
use child restraint if it is damaged, broken, or missing parts. •
use this restraint if it has been involved in a crash. It must be replaced. •
use this child restraint without the headrest installed. •
use this child restraint rear-facing. Location Warnings •
read and follow exactly the instructions that accompany your vehicle and child restraint. • According to statistics, children are safer when properly 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 seating locations. There are many thousands of combinations of vehicle makes, models, child restraint configurations, 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 different seating location, or call Evenflo. •
use this child restraint on forward-facing vehicle seats. DO NOT use this restraint with vehicle seats that face the rear or side. •
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
use this child restraint as a booster (p. 28). • Adjust, or remove, the vehicle headrest, in the seat
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.
If the vehicle seat belts are not routed and fastened correctly, the child restraint may not protect the child in a crash. For 5-point Harness Use Only •
use this child restraint if it moves more than 25 mm (1 in) 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.
•
use this child restraint in a vehicle with door-mounted seat belts. •
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. •
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.
system when restraining the child in this booster seat. • The shoulder belt
be routed properly. (p. 36). •
above the back of the booster seat headrest. WARNING__WARNING__7__6___Seat_Belt_Warnings'>WARNING WARNING 7 6 Seat Belt Warnings – Continued For Booster Use Only • 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 • The LATCH system is intended to be used ONLY as
described in these instructions. Serious injury or death may result from misuse. “LATCH” (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) is a system for attaching the child restraint to your vehicle seat. It can be used in place of the seat belts in vehicles. Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual for the locations of LATCH anchors. Note: Your vehicle owner’s manual may refer to this system as ”ISOFIX” or “Universal Anchorage System (UAS).” • 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. •
use for securing child restraint to vehicle lower anchor bars. •
attach two lower anchor connectors to one vehicle lower anchor bar. •
use the vehicle seat belts when using the lower anchor connector assembly. Using both together can cause slack in a sudden stop or crash. • When not in use, the lower anchor connector assembly should be securely stored on child restraint. Keep out of reach of children. •
be sure that the lower anchor connectors are attached to the vehicle lower anchor bars by pulling hard on the lower anchor connectors. If they are not attached, the lower anchor connector assembly will not secure your child restraint. Serious injury or death may result. •
use this child restraint if it moves more than 25 mm (1 in) side to side or front to back at the 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.
• 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 hook to the storage clip when not in use (p. 12). This will keep an unused tether from hitting someone during a crash. Additional Warnings • In hot or sunny weather, ALWAYS check the areas of the child restraint that may contact your child (e.g., buckle, buckle tongues, etc.) for hot areas before placing him/her into the child restraint. The child could be burned. Cover the child restraint with a light colored blanket when you leave the vehicle. • This child restraint must be securely fastened to the vehicle, even when unoccupied, using the vehicle seat belts or lower anchor connectors. An unsecured child restraint may injure someone if a crash occurs. •
use the cup holders to store cans or hard cups. Only for use with soft cups (such as styrofoam or paper). •
place any cups that contain hot liquids in the cup holders. •
attach additional padding, toys, or other devices not made by Evenflo or described in these instructions for the child restraint. Items not tested with the child restraint could injure the child. Additional pads or pillows may interfere with the function of the harness system, or cause breathing problems if the child’s head falls forward, increasing the risk of serious injury or death. • 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.
