❃Registration Information

❃Safety First Check List

❃LATCH

This child restraint may be installed in a vehicle

using either the vehicle seat belt or the

LATCH system (for vehicles equipped with

LATCH).

WARNINGS - Prevent serious injury or death:

Failure to follow these instructions

and child restraint labels can result

in child striking the vehicle’s interior

during a sudden stop or crash.

Secure child restraint with a vehicle

seat belt or LATCH that is properly

routed as shown in this manual.

Select a suitable location for the

child restraint in your vehicle.

Choose the correct mode of use for

the child restraint depending on

your child’s size. Infants less than

20 lbs. (9 kg) must use this child

restraint rear-facing. Serious

crippling injury or death can result

if infant faces front of vehicle. The

American Academy of Pediatrics

recommends that children should be

at least one year of age before being

positioned forward facing.

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

“Vehicle Seat Belts” section.

Never put a child restraint in a front

vehicle seat unless recommended

by vehicle owner’s manual.

National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration (NHTSA) alerts

vehicle owners that according to

accident statistics, children up to

age 12 are safer in the back seat.

For vehicles with air bags, refer to

vehicle owner’s manual for child

restraint installation information.

If 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 accessories or parts

other than those provided by

Graco. Their use could alter the

performance of the child restraint.

Rear-facing child restraint must be

properly leveled:

• Too reclined can result in injury

or ejection.

• Too upright can result in

breathing difficulties.

Insert the harness straps in the

proper slots for your child. Never

leave child unattended, even when

sleeping. Child may become tangled

in harness straps and suffocate or

strangle.

DO NOT remove LATCH system from

child restraint. If using vehicle seat

belt to secure child restraint, LATCH

connectors must be stored. (see

section “LATCH storage”)

Never attach two

LATCH connectors

to one vehicle lower

anchor point unless

specifically allowed

by the vehicle

manufacturer.

WARNINGS - Prevent serious injury or death (continued):

Vehicle

Seat Crease

Typical seat in a

passenger vehicle.

Other vehicle types

may have different

LATCH locations.

United States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety

Standards have defined a new system for

installing child restraints in vehicles. The

system is called LATCH. LATCH stands for:

Lower Anchorage and Tether for CHildren.

LATCH System for Vehicles:

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

anchorage system. This child restraint with

LATCH can also be used in vehicle seating

positions equipped with ISOFIX.

Newer vehicles may have one or more seating

positions equipped 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 a symbol (Fig. a) or a colored dot.

See your vehicle owner’s manual for exact

locations, anchor identification, and

requirements for use with a child restraint.

Check 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).(Fig. a) (Fig. b) (Fig. c)

WHAT IS LATCH?

LATCH System:

LATCH consists of a permanently attached

lower anchorage belt and a top tether strap

(Fig. a).

ONLY use LATCH in a seating

position recommended

by vehicle manufacturer.
