1.0 Warnings to Parents and Other Users
DO NOT PLACE THIS INFANT RESTRAINT IN
A VEHICLE SEATING LOCATION THAT HAS A
FRONT AIR BAG. If the air bag inflates, it can hit
the infant restraint with great force and cause serious
injury or death of your child. Check vehicle owner’s
manual for information about side air bags and infant
restraint installation. No infant restraint can guarantee
protection from injury in every situation. However, proper use of this
infant restraint reduces the risk of serious injury or death to your child.
4
Failure to properly use this infant 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 infant restraint correctly on
every ride.
Even if using this infant restraint seems easy to figure out on your own, it
is very important to FOLLOW THE OWNER’S MANUAL.
The manual is located in the base.
You also must read your vehicle owner’s manual.
Your child’s safety depends on:
1. Choosing a suitable location in your vehicle. Some seating
positions, such as those equipped with air bags, may not be safe
locations for this infant restraint.
2. Properly positioning the head support.
3. Properly securing your child in the infant restraint.
4. Placing infant restraint/base in a rear-facing position.
5. Properly routing the vehicle seat belt or LATCH.
6. Properly reclining the infant restraint.
7. Properly securing the infant restraint in the vehicle using a seat
belt designed to restrain an infant restraint or by using LATCH. Many
seat belts are NOT safe to use with infant restraints, even though they
can easily be threaded through the infant restraint!

‡
‡
‡
DO NOT INSTALL OR USE THIS INFANT RESTRAINT AND
BASE UNTIL YOU READ AND UNDERSTAND THE
INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL AND IN YOUR VEHICLE
OWNER’S MANUAL. DO NOT let others install or use the
infant restraint unless they understand how to use it.
FAILURE TO PROPERLY USE THIS INFANT RESTRAINT
AND BASE INCREASES THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH IN A SUDDEN STOP OR CRASH. Your child can be
injured in a vehicle even if you are not in a crash. Sudden
braking and sharp turns can injure your child if the infant restraint
is not properly installed or if your child is not properly secured in
the infant restraint.

Seat Location
4.1 Vehicle Seat Requirements
IMPROPER PLACEMENT OF THE INFANT RESTRAINT
INCREASES THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. Some
seating positions in your vehicle may not be safe for this infant
restraint. Some vehicles do not have any seating positions that can be
used safely with the infant restraint. If you are not sure where to place
the infant restraint in your vehicle, consult your vehicle owner’s manual
or call Graco at 1-800-345-4109.

6.4 Reclining Infant Restraint/Base
For your child’s safety, it is important that your infant restraint/base be
properly reclined. Attached to the side of your infant restraint is a level
indicator to help properly recline the infant restraint/base on the
vehicle seat.
Failure to properly recline the infant restraint on the vehicle seat
increases the risk of serious injury or death.
If the infant restraint is too upright, a child’s head
may drop forward and cause breathing
problems.
If the infant restraint is too reclined, a crash
could put too much force on a child’s neck and
shoulders.
The infant restraint must be properly reclined
according to the following instructions.
Infant restraint must be properly reclined. Too
upright can result in breathing difficulties.
