1 IMPORTANT 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 owners manual and your vehicle owners manual before in-stalling 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 prop-erly used child restraint is the best way to minimize injuries to your child and to increase the chances for your childs survival in most crashes.

This child restraint meets all the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213. No child restraint can guarantee absolute protection from injury in every crash. This child restraint is designed for use ONLY in the rear-facing position by children who weigh between 5 and 22 lbs (2.3 kg and 10 kg) and whose height is between 19 and 29 inches (48 to 74 cm).NEVER use this chile restraint in the forward-facing position.

Failure to follow installation instructions can result in your child striking the vehicles interior during a sudden stop or crash. Serious injury or death may result. These instructions and the instructions in your vehicle owners manual must be followed carefully. If there is a conflict between the two, the vehicle owners manual regarding child restraint installation must be followed.

Carrier and Base NEVER use the Embrace carrier alone in the vehicle with-

out the convenience base. The base must always be used with the carrier in the

vehicle to properly restrain your child. Serious injury or death could result if the carrier alone is

used in the vehicle.Premature Infants

DO NOT use this or any other child restraint with a premature infant until after consulting your doctor. Premature infants may have difficulty breathing when in a sitting position.

Air Bag Warnings DO NOT use this restraint in any vehicle position

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 owners manual for child restraint installation.

Location Warnings According to accident statistics, children are safer when

properly restrained in rear seating positions than in front seating positions. Generally, the center rear is safest and should be used if available. Children under 13 should ride in the back seat of the vehicle.

Weight: 5 22 lbs (2.3 10 kg) Height: 19 29 inches (48 74 cm)

WARNING

Rear-facing ONLY


3WARNING

2

WARNING NEVER use this child restraint in the forward-facing

position. Serious injury or death can occur. 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 1 1/2 in. (38 mm) of space between any part of the child restraint and the vehicle seat that is closest to the childs 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 many 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 installa-tion. If the child restraint can not be properly installed, DO NOT use the child restraint. Consult vehicle owners manual, try a different seating location or call Evenflo at 1-800-233-5921.

Seat Belt Warnings DO NOT use the carrier base in a vehicle with door-

mounted seat belts. DO NOT use the carrier base in a seating position that has

seat belts that automatically move along the frame of the vehicle when the door is opened. These seat belts will not hold a child restraint properly.

Use only with vehicle seat belts that can be pulled tight and stay locked.

DO NOT use the carrier base if it moves more than 1 inch (25 mm) forward or side-to-side at the seat belt path. Serious injury or death may occur. Move the carrier base to another seating location.

If the vehicle seat belts are not routed and fastened cor-rectly, the child restraint system may not protect your child in a crash.

Remove locking clip from vehicle seat belt when not used with a child restraint system, or the vehicle seat belt will not properly restrain an adult or child. Serious injury could occur.

When using with LAP BELTS ONLY: DO NOT use this child restraint system in a vehicle equipped with lap belts that only lock during a sudden stop or crash (emergency locking retractors). You must use a seating position with a locking

lap belt. Check your vehicle owners manual to see if you have emergency locking retractors.

Be sure that the release button of the vehicle seat belt does not contact a side or edge of the carrier base. This could cause the vehicle seat belt to accidently release. If your par-ticular seat belt allows the buckle to fall into a questionable location, turn the buckle upside down so the push button faces away from the child restraint or use another seating position.

LATCH Warnings ONLY use for securing carrier base to lower LATCH anchor

points. ALWAYS read and follow exactly the instructions which

accompany your vehicle and child restraint system. NEVER attach two hooks to one vehicle lower anchor

point. DO NOT use the vehicle seat belts to install the carrier

base when using the LATCH system. This LATCH system is intended to be used ONLY as de-

scribed in these instructions. Serious injury or death may result from misuse.

When not in use, the LATCH harness and hook should be securely stored in the storage area located in the carrier base (see page 24). Keep out of reach of children.

DO NOT use the carrier base if it moves more than 1 inch (25 mm) forward or side-to-side at the LATCH harness path. Serious injury or death may occur. Move the carrier base to another seating location.

ALWAYS be sure that the LATCH hook is fully engaged onto the LATCH anchor point by pulling hard on the LATCH harness. If it is not totally engaged, the LATCH system will not secure your carrier base. Serious injury or death may result.

Usage Warnings DO NOT loosen the vehicle seat belt to provide more leg

room as this will prevent the child restraint from protect-ing your infant.

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.

ALWAYS check the restraint and buckle for hot surfaces before putting a child into the restraint. Your child could be burned.

Fold-down armrests could pose a hazard to a rear-facing child in certain types of collisions. Consult your vehicle owners manual before installing any rear-facing child restraint in front of a fold-down armrest.

Recall Information

Everyone rides buckled up or the vehicle does not go. Make no exceptions for adults or children. If some-one 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 babys needs while driving. NEVER take a baby out of a child restraint for comforting while the vehicle is moving.

Always place handle in the car or stand position before removing infant from carrier.

WARNING

Safe Practices

This restraint meets FAA Inversion requirements for airplane use. Airplane installation is the same as vehicle installation. Turn the top of the airplane seat belt buckle away from the restraint for easy release and removal.

Airplane Usage

Check with your airline before de-

parture to make sure this restraint meets

their requirements.

Tip!Tip!

NEVER place the handle in the upright position when using this child restraint in a vehicle.

When using the restraint in the Stand Position ONLY, use on level surface and NEVER prop the restraint up with any object.

In cold weather, DO NOT dress the child in bulky cloth-ing like snowsuits if the child is riding in a child restraint. Bulky coats/snowsuits make it difficult to properly tighten the harness to the child, which may allow the child to be ejected from the restraint during a crash.

NEVER place this child restraint on beds, sofas, or other soft surfaces. The child restraint can roll over on soft sur-faces and suffocate the child.

NEVER leave the child in this child restraint when the harness straps are loose or undone. A child may strangle when straps are loose or undone.

NEVER place this child restraint near the edges of counter tops, tables, or other high surfaces. The childs movements can cause the child restraint to slide and fall.

NEVER leave child unattended.Additional Warnings

DO NOT use this child restraint if it is broken, damaged or missing parts.

DO NOT use this child restraint if it has been involved in an accident. 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 the carry posi-tion before lifting the child restraint.

This child restraint must be securely belted to the vehicle at all times. An unsecured child restraint may injure some-one if a crash occurs.

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.

In hot, sunny weather cover the child restraint with a light colored blanket when you leave the vehicle. Always check the child restraint and buckle for hot surfaces before putting child into the restraint.

In cold weather a child may need an extra blanket for warmth. Secure the child in the child restraint and cover both the child and the restraint with a blanket.

Child restraints could be recalled for safety reasons. You must register this restraint to be reached in a recall.
