Graco PD220686A Car Seat User Manual


 
Failure to follow these instructions
and child restraint labels can result
in child striking the vehicle’s
interior during a sudden stop or
crash. Secure child restraint with
a vehicle seat belt or
LATCH that is
properly routed as shown in this
manual.
Select a suitable location for the
child restraint in your vehicle.
Choose the correct mode of use for
the child restraint depending on
your child’s size. Infants less than
20 lbs. (9 kg) must use this child
restraint rear-facing. Serious
crippling injury or death can result
if infant faces front of vehicle.
The American Academy of
Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that
children be rear facing until age 2
or until they reach the maximum
rear facing height and weight
rating for their seat.
Vehicle seat belt system MUST hold
child restraint securely. Not all
vehicle seat belts can be used with
a child restraint.
If vehicle seat belt does not hold
child restraint securely, read
“Vehicle Seat Belts” section.
Never put a child restraint in a front
vehicle seat unless recommended
by vehicle owner’s manual.
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) alerts
vehicle owners that according to
accident statistics, children are safer
in the back seat. For vehicles with
air bags, refer to vehicle owner’s
manual for child restraint
installation information.
