Accessory Use Booster Seat Requirements
Measure your child’s weight and
height (do not guess) before
using this booster seat.
Your child’s height, weight, and age determine how
a car seat should be placed in the vehicle.
Children vary widely in body size, shape, and tem-
perament—please consult your doctor before
switching between any types or modes of a car
seat within the limits and fi t requirements of the
seat.
State Laws: Please be certain to follow your state’s
laws regarding car seat use.
American Academy of Pediatrics
Recommendations
Infants and Toddlers Should ride in a rear-
facing car seat as long as possible, until they reach
the highest weight or height allowed by their seat.
Toddlers and Preschoolers Once they are
facing-forward, children should use a forward-
facing car seat with a harness for as long as
possible, until they reach the height and weight
limits for their seats.
School-Aged Children Once they have outgrown
their forward-facing car seat, children should use
a belt-positioning booster seat until the vehicle’s
lap and shoulder seat belt fi ts properly. This is often
when they have reached at least 4 feet 9 inches in
height and are 8 to 12 years old.
Older Children All children younger than 13 years
should be restrained in the rear seats of vehicles for
optimal protection.

Replacement & Expiration of Car Seat
28
Do not risk your child’s safety.
To keep your child as safe as possible, Dorel Juvenile
Group strongly recommends replacing the car seat
even after a minor crash; even if it was not occupied
at the time.
Replacement After a Minor Crash
The National Highway Traffi c Safety Administration
states that for a crash to be considered minor ALL of
the following must be true:
l Vehicle able to drive away from the crash site;
AND
l Vehicle door nearest the car seat was not
damaged; AND
l No passengers were injured; AND
l Airbags did not deploy; AND
l There is no visible damage to the car seat.
If the crash your car seat was involved in meets ALL
the criteria, you may not need to replace the car seat.
If one or more of these criteria are not true or if you
are uncertain of any of your answers, replace the car
seat immediately.
Replacement After a Moderate to Severe Crash
You must replace this car seat if it has been in a
moderate to severe car crash.
This car seat is intended to protect a child in a single
crash. During a crash, the car seat and all of its parts
absorb crash energy which can deform or weaken
it. Damage is not always visible. A damaged car seat
must be replaced immediately.
Expiration
On the bottom of the child
restraint there is a date of
manufacture label as shown.
Do not use this child restraint
more than 10 years after the
date of manufacture.
This restraint is not certified for aircraft use because aircraft seats do not have shoulder belts.
Child Restraint Use
Never take your child out of the child restraint
while the vehicle is moving.
Never leave child unattended. Placing your child
in a hot child restraint may result in burns.
Do not use a child restraint with damaged or
missing parts.
Do not substitute parts or try to modify the child
restraint in any way.
Do not use any child restraint accessory except
those approved by Dorel Juvenile Group.
Never allow any child to play with this child
restraint; it is not a toy.
Do not remove or cover up any of the warning
labels or other labels on the child restraint.
This child restraint has been certifi ed for use in
passenger vehicles. Do not use in a boat, on a
motorcycle or in a cargo van or bus where there
are no seat belts.
Read all instructions for additional warnings.
Installation in Vehicle
Check the vehicle belt before each use. Use
only if the belt can be tightened properly and
securely.
Even when unoccupied, this booster seat must
be fi rmly secured to the vehicle by the Isofi x
LATCH or with the vehicle seat belt. In a crash or
sudden stop, an unsecured booster seat could
injure occupants.

Thank you for choosing this child restraint.
The DJG family is committed to creating child
restraints with the most comfort and conve-
nience available today.
Remember, parents are a child’s first teachers
and examples. If you always buckle your seat
belt, your child will think it is the natural thing
to do. Make it a firm rule that the vehicle does
not go until everyone is buckled up. Make no
exceptions.
No one can predict if use of a child restraint
will prevent injury or death in a particular
crash. However, when combined with careful
driving, proper use of a child restraint can
lower a child’s risk of injury or death in most
crashes.
