WARNING:
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, read this owner’s manual prior to installing and using this child restraint.
© 2017 Evenflo Company, Inc. 25701369 3/17
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 your 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 your child and to increase the chances for your child’s survival in most crashes.

U.S. REGULATORY NOTICE
This child restraint meets all the requirements of
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.
CANADIAN REGULATORY NOTICE
(MODEL NUMBERS ENDING IN “C”)
This child restraint meets all the applicable requirements of Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard CMVSS 213.1.
CHILD REQUIREMENTS
Warning: Failure to follow these Child Requirements could result in serious injury or death.
This child restraint is designed for use by children in
rear-facing orientation only. To use this child restraint properly, children
MUST
meet the size and age requirements below. In addition, Evenflo recommends consulting with your child’s physician before allowing your child to transition from a
rear-facing to forward-facing child restraint.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends keeping children rear-facing until 2 years old or until they reach the maximum height or weight for their child restraint in
rear-facing orientation. Additionally, some states’ laws require children to be rear-facing until age 2. Accordingly, you will see this guidance reflected in the Child Requirements below.
Please review any applicable local, state or provincial laws related to child passenger safety before installing and using this child restraint.
Rear-facing
• 1.8 to 15.8 kg (4 to 35 lbs)
• 43 to 76 cm (17 to 30 in.) and top of child’s head is at least 25 mm (1 in.) below the top of the child restraint seat back.
IMPORTANT: Once your child exceeds any of the size requirements above, they
MUST
discontinue use of this child restraint.

PREMATURE INFANT USE
Before using this child restraint for preterm or low birth weight infants, ensure the Child Requirements are met and follow the guidelines in this section.
According to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration, a properly installed child restraint reduces the risk of death by over 70 percent for infants involved in crashes. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard (FMVSS) 213 establishes design and dynamic performance requirements for child restraint systems.
However, the standard has no minimum weight limit and does not address the special medical needs of preterm or low-birth weight infants. To ensure that preterm and low-birth weight infants are transported safely, the guidelines published by the American
Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) in Pediatrics 2009;
123:1424–1429 must be followed.
All children should ride rear-facing in the vehicle as long as possible. Preterm and low-birth weight infants are at additional risk of breathing difficulties and heart problems when placed in a child restraint. Evenflo requires that the evaluation recommended by the AAP be conducted for all infants born earlier than 37 weeks and all newborn infants who weigh less than 5 pounds at birth before their first car trip to check for breathing difficulties or heart rate problems when traveling in a rear-facing child restraint.
The AAP recommends that appropriate hospital staff observe your infant in the child restraint for a period of
90 to 120 minutes or the duration of travel, whichever is longer. This period of observation must be performed with the infant properly positioned as described in these instructions and with the child restraint placed at an angle that is approved for use in the vehicle. The hospital staff will check for any breathing difficulties or heart rate problems. Your child’s pediatrician will let you know if there are any special considerations for travel.
The number of trips and the duration of time the infant is seated in the child restraint should be minimized. A caregiver should ride in the back seat to monitor the infant during travel.
You can learn more about the AAP’s recommendations for observation of newborns and the guidelines for safe transportation of preterm and low-birth weight infants, as well as other resources for parents and medical professionals, at

WARNING
General Warnings
• Failure to follow the Child Requirements for use of this child restraint could result in serious injury or death. (See page 1 for Child Requirements).
• This product contains magnets. Before use, consult your family doctor about the compatibility of this product with pacemakers and similar devices.
• Child Restraints should be used only for travel.
Potential adverse health effects from excessive use of infant child restraints have been documented.
You should limit the time spent each day in a child restraint as much as possible. You must never use your child restraint as a sleeping environment in the home. Never leave your infant unattended in a child restraint in or out of the vehicle.
• Failure to follow installation instructions and the instructions and warnings on the product can result in your 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.
• This child restraint
MUST ALWAYS
face the rear
of the vehicle. Serious injury or death can occur.
•
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.
• DO NOT attach additional padding, toys or other devices not made by Evenflo, or described in these instructions, to the child restraint. Items not tested with the child restraint could injure the child.
• Be sure that the handle is firmly locked in Position 2
(Carry) before lifting the child restraint (see pages
16-17).
• This child restraint must be securely belted to the vehicle at all times, even when unoccupied. An unsecured child restraint may injure someone if a crash occurs.
3
WARNING
Air Bag Warnings
•
DO NOT
use this restraint in the front seat of a vehicle equipped with an air bag. Interaction between a rear facing restraint and air bags may cause serious injury or death. If your vehicle has an air bag, refer to the 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 your child.
The forward-facing rear seat is the safest place for children 12 and under.
4
WARNING
Location Warnings
•
ALWAYS
read and follow exactly the instructions that accompany your vehicle and child restraint.
• According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in a rear seating position than in a front seating position. Generally, the center rear is safest and should be used if available. Children
12 and under should ride in the back seat of the vehicle.
• If you are unable to use the center rear seating position and have to install this child restraint directly behind a front vehicle seat, ensure that there is at least 38 mm (1.5 inches) of space between any part of the child restraint and the vehicle seat that is closest to the child’s head. This space may be necessary for the child restraint to properly perform in certain types of crashes.
•
ONLY
use this child restraint on forward-facing vehicle seats.
DO NOT
use on vehicle seats which face the rear or side.
•
ONLY
use this child restraint on vehicle seats with backs that lock into place.
• Some child restraints do not fit all vehicles or all seating locations. There are thousands of combinations of vehicle makes, models, child restraint configurations, seat belt designs and seat cushion shapes. The easiest way to determine whether your 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 this child restraint. Consult vehicle owner’s manual, try a different seating location or call
Evenflo at 1-800-233-5921 (U.S), or
1-937-773-3971 (Canada).
Vehicle Seat Belt Warnings
• DO NOT use this child restraint in a vehicle seating position with door-mounted seat belts.
•
DO NOT
use this child restraint in a vehicle seating position 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.
5
WARNING
Vehicle Seat Belt Warnings – cont.
•
DO NOT
use this child restraint in a vehicle equipped with seat belts that only lock during a sudden stop or crash (emergency locking retractor –
ELR). You must use a seating location with a locking seat belt. Check your vehicle owner’s manual to see if you have seat belts with ELR’s.
•
DO NOT
loosen the vehicle seat belt to provide more leg room as this may keep the child restraint from protecting your child.
• Fold-down armrests could pose a hazard to a rear-facing child in certain types of collisions. Consult your vehicle owner’s manual before installing any rear-facing child restraint in front of a fold-down armrest.
• The headrest on the vehicle seat that the child faces should be placed in the lowest position. The vehicle seat back that the child faces must be fully padded and free of any hard objects.
• DO NOT use this child restraint if it moves more than 25 mm (1 in.) side-to-side or front to back at the seat belt path. Serious injury or death may occur.
Try again or move the child restraint to another seating location.
• If the vehicle seat belts are not routed and fastened correctly, the child restraint may not protect your child in a crash.
• DO NOT allow the vehicle seat belt release button to touch the child restraint. Accidental contact may cause the seat belt to release. If necessary, turn the vehicle seat belt release button away from the child restraint or move the child restraint to a different location.
• Failure to adjust the harness snugly around your child may result in your child striking the vehicle’s interior during a sudden stop or crash. Serious injury or death may occur.
• 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.
6
WARNING
LATCH Warnings
• The LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren) system is intended to be used
ONLY
as described in these instructions. Serious injury or death may result from misuse. LATCH is a system for attaching the child restraint to your vehicle seat.
It can be used in place of the seat belts in vehicles with vehicle lower anchor bars. Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual for the locations of the vehicle lower anchor bars. Note: Your vehicle owner’s manual may refer to this system as “Universal Anchorage System
(UAS),” “Lower Universal Anchorage System,” or
“ISOFIX.”
• 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 convenience base to vehicle lower anchor bars.
•
NEVER
attach two lower anchor assembly connectors to one vehicle lower anchor bar.
•
NEVER
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 in the storage area located in the convenience base. Keep out of reach of children.
•
ALWAYS
be sure that the lower anchor connector assembly connectors are fully engaged onto the vehicle anchor bars by pulling hard on the lower anchor connector assembly harness. If they are not totally engaged, the lower anchor connector assembly will not secure your child restraint. Serious injury or death may result.
• DO NOT use this child restraint if it moves more than 25 mm (1 in.) side-to-side or front to back at the vehicle belt path. Serious injury or death may result from poor installation. If you can not tightly secure the child restraint, try again or move it to another location.

ARMPIT LEV EL
WARNING
Children have STRANGLED in loose or partially buckled harness straps. Fully restrain the child even when carrier is used outside the vehicle.
• Use
ONLY
the Embrace 35 convenience base with the Embrace 35 carrier. The Embrace 35 carrier
WILL NOT LOCK

•
ALWAYS
check the restraint and buckle for hot surfaces before putting a child into the restraint.
Your child could be burned.
• In cold weather, DO NOT dress the child in bulky clothing, like snowsuits, if the child is riding in a child restraint. This clothing makes it difficult to properly tighten the harness to the child, which may allow the child to be ejected from the restraint during a crash.
•
ALWAYS
place the handle in one of the following positions when traveling in a vehicle:
U.S. - Position 1, 4 or 5; Canada -
ONLY
Position 1
(p. 16).

ONLY
use on level ground and
NEVER
prop the restraint up with any object.
• NEVER place this child restraint on beds, sofas, or other soft surfaces. The child restraint can roll over on soft surfaces and suffocate the child.
• NEVER place this child restraint near the edges of counter tops, tables, other high surfaces, or in shopping carts. The child’s movements can cause the child restraint to slide and fall.
8
WARNING
• The canopy is not intended to provide UV protection.
•
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 right from the start will mean fewer discipline problems as children get older. Besides, an unrestrained child or adult 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.
• Always place the handle in Position 4, or 5 before removing infant from carrier (p. 16).
•
DO NOT
allow a child 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.
• Anything loose can be deadly in a crash. Put sharp or heavy items in the trunk.
• DO NOT dress the child in blanket sleepers or other clothing that would prevent the crotch strap from fitting snugly up against the child.

General Information about SensorSafe
TM
Secure your child into the child restraint as you would normally. The SensorSafe Receiver Plug monitors both the Chest Clip Transmitter and the vehicle. When you arrive at your destination and turn your vehicle off, the SensorSafe system sounds a series of gentle tones reminding you that your baby is in the vehicle.
Install it once and SensorSafe is always ready to alert you.
WARNING
This product contains magnets.
Before use, consult your family doctor about the compatibility of this product with pacemakers and similar devices.
Important Usage Information
• SensorSafe is compatible ONLY with Evenflo
Embrace Infant Car Seats that have a maximum weight rating of greater than 30 lbs.
• The SensorSafe system consists of two components:
1. The Chest Clip Transmitter and 2. The Receiver
Plug. The system will not work unless both of these components are present in the vehicle with the
Receiver installed in the vehicle’s OBDII port (p. 46).
ARM
PIT
LEV
EL
Chest Clip Transmitter Receiver Plug
• The SensorSafe Chest Clip is designed to go into a sleep mode after being clipped for 12 hours.
Although 12-hour vehicle trips without stops are uncommon and not recommended, the Chest
Clip must be opened and closed after 12 hours to reactivate the SensorSafe system.
• The Receiver Plug works ONLY with 2008 or newer gas/diesel equipped vehicles purchased in the U.S. or Canada. If you would like to use the SensorSafe
Chest Clip with a Hybrid or Stop/Start vehicle, please contact Evenflo’s ParentLink at:
1-800-233-5921 (U.S.), 1-937-773-3971 (Canada), or 01-800-706-12-00 (Mexico) to order a compatible Receiver Plug.

General Information about SensorSafe
TM
Battery Usage
• To preserve battery life, always store the SensorSafe
Chest Clip in the un-clipped position.
• The Chest Clip includes 1-button cell lithium battery that cannot be recharged or replaced.
Dispose of Chest Clip properly.
• The SensorSafe battery should last for the life of this car seat, but is designed to alert you of a low battery. If your Chest Clip battery is getting low, the SensorSafe Receiver will make a “low battery” alarm when the Chest Clip is closed. This “low battery” alarm will sound different from the beeps you typically hear when activating your SensorSafe system. Please contact Evenflo’s ParentLink at:
1-800-233-5921 (U.S.), 1-937-773-3971 (Canada), or 01-800-706-12-00 (Mexico) to order a replacement SensorSafe Chest Clip.

Securing Your Child Restraint in
Aircraft
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recommends that you secure your child for air travel in an appropriate child restraint based on your child’s weight and size. Turbulence can happen with little or no warning. When turbulence occurs, the safest
place for your child is in a properly installed child restraint, not in an adult’s lap or on the
aircraft seat with its seat belt. Keeping your child in a child restraint during the flight will help ensure your family arrives safely at your destination.
The FAA recommends that a child weighing:
• more than 18 kg (40 lbs) use an aircraft seat belt;
• less than 9 kg (20 lbs) use a rear-facing child restraint; and
• from 9 to 18 kg (20 to 40 lbs) use a forward-facing child restraint.
Please note that these FAA recommendations may vary from those applicable to the use of your child restraint in a motor vehicle.
IMPORTANT
You must use the internal harness when installing the child restraint in aircraft.
In order to comply with the FAA regulation for Portable Electronic Devices (PED), the
SensorSafe Chest Clip
MUST
be unfastened before take-off.
Note: After landing, fasten the SensorSafe Chest
Clip before removing the Embrace Infant Car Seat from the Aircraft seat.
