According to crash statistics, the safest spot is the back seat, particularly the center area during a side impact. You can install the car seat using the LATCH system or the vehicle seat belt; however, do not use both simultaneously in the 5-point harness mode.LATCH consists of lower anchors and top tether anchors built into your vehicle, along with connecting hooks on your car seat. Use the lower anchors to secure the child seat instead of the vehicles seat belt, and the top tethers for forward-facing seats in addition to or instead of the lower anchors. Review your manual for exact locations.There are two types of vehicle seat belts: Lap/Shoulder Seat Belt or Lap Only Seat Belt. When installing a rear-facing LATCH system, review sections 3-B and 4-B of your manual. For a vehicle seat belt, use only the Lap/Shoulder configuration in section 5-B and 5-C.To ensure proper fit, check section 3, 4, and 5 of your manual to adjust the car seat according to your childs height. For rear-facing seats, harness straps should be at or below the childs shoulders, while for forward-facing seats, they should be just above. When using a booster, position the Lap belt behind the armrest, low across the hips and thighs, with the Shoulder belt across the shoulder between the neck and edge.Always check the car seat installation to ensure it meets specific criteria, such as not moving more than 1 inch at the belt path or harness straps being adjusted correctly.To ensure your child's safety, it is crucial to follow the instructions in this manual carefully, as no car seat can guarantee complete protection from injury in every situation. The Graco car seat has specific guidelines for use, including weight and height limits. For rear-facing use, the child must be 49 or less and weigh between 4-22 lb, with those under 1 year old required to be rear-facing, and those between 22-40 lb recommended to be rear-facing. For forward-facing use, the child must also be 49 or less, with those between 22-40 lb able to sit upright unassisted and those between 40-65 lb recommended to be forward-facing. Before using the car seat, please register it by filling out the prepaid registration postcard or online at www.gracobaby.com/carseatregistration, as child restraints can be recalled for safety reasons. It is also important to record the model name, number, date of manufacture, and purchase date for future reference. The Graco car seat meets all applicable federal motor vehicle safety standards and is certified for use in aircraft, but only on forward-facing seats. To protect your vehicle's seat, use a car seat mat or towel under and behind the car seat. In warm weather, be aware that car seat parts can get very hot, so always check before putting your child in the seat. Failure to follow instructions can result in serious injury or death, and never place the child restraint rear-facing in a vehicle with an active front air bag.When using a car seat, always follow these safety guidelines: If your airbag deploys, it can hit the child and car seat with great force, causing serious injury or death. Check your vehicle's owner manual for information on airbags and car seats. Even if your vehicle doesn't have a back seat, review its owner manual carefully. The vehicle seat belt system must securely hold the car seat in place, but not all belts can be used with a car seat. If your seatbelt can't keep the car seat secure, consult section 9-D and your vehicle's owner manual for guidance.
