Graco 8486 Car Seat User Manual

DO NOT INSTALL OR USE THIS CAR SEAT
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 car seat unless they
understand how to use it.
FAILURE TO PROPERLY USE THIS CAR SEAT
INCREASES THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH IN A SHARP TURN, 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 car seat is not
properly installed or if your child is not properly
secured in the car seat.
According to accident statistics, CHILDREN ARE
SAFER WHEN PROPERLY RESTRAINED IN
REAR VEHICLE SEATING POSITIONS, RATHER
THAN FRONT SEATING POSITIONS. For a vehicle
with a front passenger air bag, refer to your vehicle
owner’s manual as well as these instructions for car
seat installation.
NEVER LEAVE YOUR CHILD UNATTENDED.
NEVER LEAVE A CAR SEAT UNSECURED IN
YOUR VEHICLE. An unsecured car seat can be
thrown around and may injure occupants in a sharp
turn, sudden stop or crash. Remove it or make sure
that it is securely belted in the vehicle. If not using
LATCH, make sure LATCH connectors are properly
stored on back of seat.
REPLACE THE CAR SEAT AFTER AN ACCIDENT
OF ANY KIND. An accident can cause damage to
the car seat that you cannot see.
