NEVER allow others to use this Child Restraint until they have read and understood all instructions in this User Guide. For future reference, keep this User Guide in storage door at rear of Base.

Secure Child Properly

Snugly adjust the harness around your child. A loose harness could cause the child to be ejected in a sudden stop or crash, resulting in serious injury or death.
A snug strap should not allow any slack. It lies in a relatively straight line without sagging. It does not press on the childs flesh or push the childs body into an unnatural position.
Make Sure Child Fits This Restraint
ONLY USE this Child Restraint with children who weigh between 4 and 30 pounds (2 and 13.5 kg) and whose height is 30 inches (76 cm) or less. DO NOT use this child restraint if top of childs head is less than 1 inch from top of restraint. ONLY USE the Newborn Insert for infants who weigh between 4 and 11 pounds (2 and 5 kg). DO NOT use Newborn Insert if child weighs more than 11 pounds.

NEVER use clothing or blankets that interfere with fastening or tightening the harness. An unsecured child could be ejected in a sudden stop or crash!
To keep child warm, place a blanket over child and restraint AFTER you have properly secured child in harness.
ALWAYS check to make sure buckle is securely latched. If buckle separates, child could be killed or seriously injured. NEVER leave child unattended. ALWAYS keep child properly secured in harness whenever child is in carrier.
Install Restraint Correctly
NEVER place this Child Restraint in a vehicle position that has a front airbag. An infant in a rear-facing child restraint could be killed by an airbag. Refer to vehicle owners manual before installing this restraint in a seating position with side airbags. ALWAYS install rear-facing when using this Child Restraint in a vehicle. Your child could be killed or seriously injured if you install this restraint forward facing. Install this Child Restraint in a rear vehicle seat if possible.
According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions rather than in the front seating positions.

To ensure a correct installation of Child Restraint, you must follow the step by step instructions in this User Guide.
BEFORE each use, ALWAYS check to make sure restraint is tightly secured in the vehicle seat. ALWAYS check for secure attachment of carrier each time you use this restraint.

ONLY use Chicco KeyFit infant child restraints with Chicco KeyFit bases.
ONLY install this child restraint in forward facing vehicle seats. NEVER install in rear facing or side facing vehicle seats. NEVER use restraint in a vehicle seating position where it can not be secured tightly. A loosely installed child restraint will not protect your child in a crash.
