Lower Anchor Bars
For Use in Rear-Facing
or Forward-Facing
Mode
Your vehicle’s features may be considerably different
than those pictured here.
The lower anchors of LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren) is a universal system for installing child restraints without
using vehicle seat belts.
The lower anchor can ONLY be used in vehicles that have the
lower anchor bars installed in designated seating positions. Most
vehicles manufactured after September 2002 are equipped with
lower anchor bars.
Check your vehicle owner’s manual to see which seating positions
may be equipped with LATCH: lower anchor bars.
WARNINGS
Do not use both the lower anchor belt and vehicle belt at the
same time.
When used correctly the lower anchor belt or vehicle belts
are equally safe.

To Store Lower Anchor Belt:
When using vehicle belts, using the
Booster Seat mode, or when the car
seat is not installed in a vehicle, the
lower anchor belt must be properly
stored in its storage location.
Thread lower anchor belt through rear-
facing belt path then attach connectors
to storage attachments as shown.
Gently tighten to remove slack.
Vehicle Belts
22
Your vehicle’s features may be considerably different
than those pictured here.
If lower anchors are not an option or if your child weighs more
than 40 lb (18 kg), you must use the vehicle seat belt system to
install the child restraint.
Not all vehicle belts and seating positions will work with
child restraints.
Please go through the steps following steps to understand
how to lock a child restraint in Rear-Facing or Forward-
Facing mode with a vehicle belt.
Lap/Shoulder Belts
continued on next page

23
You MUST Review Your
Vehicle Owner’s Manual
Your vehicle owner’s manual will let
you know which vehicle belts and
seating positions child restraints
can be installed in.
1
Determine How the Child
Restraint Will Be Locked
Into Place
The vehicle belt must not loosen after
tightening. This means there needs to
be a way to lock the vehicle belt.
The ways this can be done are:
• By using the seat belt’s retractor (see step 3); OR
• By using the seat belt’s latch plate (see step 4).
2
3
Check the Retractor
Retractors pull seat belts into stored
positions and lock the belt to hold
passengers in place.
See the next page for some common
types of vehicle belt retractors that will
work with this child restraint.
24
Automatic Locking Retractor
Emergency Locking Retractor
This retractor always locks.
It will automatically lock after slowly pulling the seat belt out at
least halfway and letting the belt go back into the retractor an
inch or two.
If the retractor does not lock, it is most likely an Emergency
Locking Retractor. These retractors only lock during a sudden
stop or collision.
You will need to determine if your seat belt’s latch plate can lock
the belt. See Step 4, “Check the Latch Plates”.
See Step 4, “Check
the Latch Plates”.
Switchable Retractor
(most vehicles have this type)
This retractor can be switched to a locking mode.
You must have the retractor in the locking mode to use the seat
belt with this child restraint.
Switching to locking mode: Slowly pull the shoulder belt all the
way out, then let it go back in an inch or two.
As it goes back in, you will most likely hear a ratcheting sound.
Gently pull the belt to see if it has locked. You will not be able to pull
any more belt out if the lock has engaged.

Never Use With This Child Restraint
4
Check the Latch Plates
Latch plates are the part of
the seat belt that goes into the
buckle.
To see if the latch plate locks:
Buckle the vehicle belt.
Then firmly tug the lap portion of the
seat belt while pulling it up.
If the vehicle belt does not slide
through the latch plate, it’s locked.
If the latch plate slides up and down
the vehicle belt, it is a sliding latch
plate.
Sliding latch plates easily slip between
the lap and shoulder portions of the
belt.
If you have an Emergency Locking
Retractor with a Sliding Latch Plate,
you must use a locking clip.
Please contact us for one.
See page 77.
Tether Use
26
Your vehicle’s features may be considerably different
than those pictured here.
You must always attach, adjust, and secure the top anchorage
(tether) strap when installing the child restraint forward-facing
with internal harness. Tethers improve the installation and stability
of child restraints and reduce the risk of injury.
Attach the tether hook to the tether anchor designated by your
vehicle manufacturer for that seating position. Check your vehicle
owner’s manual for more information.
If the seating position does not have a tether anchor, use a different
seating position or see your dealer or a qualified mechanic and
have one installed.
WARNINGS
Using this child restraint without the tether strap anchored as
required by the manufacturer would be a misuse of the child
restraint and, in a sudden stop or crash, could result in serious
injury or death.
Do not fasten multiple tether hooks on the same tether anchor
in the vehicle.
For Forward-Facing Mode Only
Tether Anchors

Adjusting Tether Strap
To tighten: After the child
restraint is locked into place

vehicle belt, push down on
child restraint and gently pull
on free end of tether strap.
To loosen: Lift up on tether
adjuster and push it towards

Do not use the tether for rear-facing mode. Secure tether
strap to its storage location.
Do not use the lower anchor belt along with the vehicle lap
or lap/shoulder belt.
Do not fasten multiple lower anchor connectors on the
same lower anchor bar in the vehicle.
Check the vehicle belt or the lower anchor belt before each
use. Use only if the belt can be tightened properly and
locked securely in place.
This child restraint MUST always face the rear of the
vehicle until the child is at least 1 year old and weighs
22 lb (10 kg).
Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious injury
or death.

72
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:
Vehicle able to drive away from the crash site; AND
Vehicle door nearest the car seat was not damaged; AND
No passengers were injured; AND
Airbags did not deploy; AND
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 side 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.

Registration and Safety Notices
Vehicle Seating Position
Never place a child rear-facing in a seating
position with an active frontal air bag.
Check the vehicle owner’s manual for more
information about air bag/child restraint use.
Use the child restraint only on vehicle seats
that face forward.
Do not use on seats that face the sides or
rear of the vehicle.
For vehicles without a back seat, refer to
your vehicle owner’s manual.
Children are safer when properly restrained
in rear seating positions than in the front
seating positions.
According to accident statistics, children in rear seating
positions are statistically safer, whether you have air bags,
advanced air bags, or no air bags at all.
If you are not sure where to place the child restraint in your
vehicle: consult your vehicle owner’s manual, contact Dorel
Juvenile Group Consumer Care Department or visit your local Child
Passenger Inspection Station.
Go to http://www.safercar.gov/cpsApp/cps/index.htm to find your
closest station.
To avoid your child being seriously burned, take the
following precautions:
1. Park in the shade or where sun does not directly hit the child
restraint.
2. Cover the child restraint with a sheet or blanket when not in use.
3. Check for hot seat and buckles before placing child in child
restraint.
To help protect your vehicle seat’s upholstery from damage, use a
single layer towel underneath and behind child restraint.

Troubleshooting
1. If the child restraint buckle or harness release lever
sticks or you cannot get the straps tight enough around
child:
DO NOT LUBRICATE. Check around lever and retractor for
dropped food, sticky spilled drinks, dirt, leaves, etc. Clean with
warm water and/or remove object with tweezers. If you cannot
get the harness to adjust and remain tight with the buckle
securely locked, do not use the child restraint.
2. If your harness twists:
Straighten the harness each time you put your child in the child
restraint to help prevent twisting. Lock the buckle and tighten
harness so it will be ready for next use.

any other warranty, obligation, or liability in connection with this
product.
Please note: Our product warranty only applies when purchased
from an authorized Maxi-Cosi retailer. The origin of products not
purchased through these authorized retailers is unknown and could
be counterfeit.
We cannot support products from an unknown origin as we
cannot verify the handling or condition of such merchandise. We
maintain a strong network of authorized retailers to ensure you are
purchasing safe and complete products.
Fulfillment by a third party does not guarantee you are purchasing
from one of these authorized retailers. Pricing which is inconsistent
with the majority of retailers is a strong indication that the retailer
is not authorized, as we have a consistent price offering across all
authorized retailers.
If you are unsure of the authorization status of a retailer you are
considering purchasing from, or have purchased from, you can
check www.maxi-cosi.com/us-en/shops.aspx; or call our Consumer
Care Department at 1-800-951-4113; or text us at 1-812-652-

Thank you for choosing this child restraint. The DJG family is
committed to creating child restraints with the most comfort
and convenience 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 com-
bined with careful driving, proper use of a child restraint can
lower a child’s risk of injury or death in most crashes.
If you still have questions or have any concerns with this child
restraint, please contact our Consumer Care Department:
