WARNING

GENERALWARNINGS

WARNING!

The safety of your child and the effectiveness of this child restraint depend on:

1. Selecting a suitable location for the child restraint in your vehicle.
2. Properly routing the UAS or vehicle seat belt.
3. Properly securing both your child and the child restraint in the vehicle using the harness system, or a seat belt designed to restrain both the child restraint and your child. Many seat belts are NOT safe to use with this child restraint. Please review the sections "Safe/Unsafe vehicle seat belt systems" carefully. If in doubt about installing this child restraint, consult the vehicle owner's manual or call the Harmony Customer Service Department.

WARNING!

FAILURE TO PROPERLY READ, FOLLOW AND USE THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND THE CHILD RESTRAINT LABELS INCREASES THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IN A SHARP TURN, SUDDEN STOP OR CRASH. Your child's safety depends on the proper installation and use of this child restraint. Even if this child restraint seems easy to install and use on your own, it is VERY IMPORTANT to read and understand these instructions and the vehicle owner's manual.

Follow all labels on this child restraint and in these written instructions. DO NOT INSTALL OR USE THIS CHILD RESTRAINT UNTIL YOU READ AND UNDERSTAND THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL AND IN YOUR VEHICLE OWNER'S MANUAL.

NO CHILD RESTRAINT CAN GUARANTEE PROTECTION WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SERIOUSLY IMPACTED. However, when correctly installed, a child restraint will substantially improve the chances for survival and reduce the risk of serious injury in most crashes.

Carefully follow the instructions in this manual and in your vehicle owner's manual. If there is a discrepancy between the two, the vehicle owner's manual must take precedence with regards to UAS, seat belts, top tethers and/or airbags.

! USE THIS CHILD RESTRAINT FORWARD-FACING ONLY.
! DO NOT USE THIS CHILD RESTRAINT without properly assembling it.
! DO NOT allow children to play with this child restraint.
! NEVER leave children alone in a vehicle under any circumstance.
It is recommended that children are not left in their child restraint system unattended.
! Set a good example by ALWAYS wearing your seat

belt. Make it a firm rule that the vehicle does not move until everyone is buckled up. MAKE NO EXCEPTIONS.

! Harmony Juvenile Products advises against loaning or passing along a child restraint. DO NOT USE A SECOND-HAND CHILD RESTRAINT or a child restraint whose history you do not know.
! To prevent injury due to deterioration, hidden damage, etc., discontinue use of this child restraint if it is older than TEN (10) YEARS. There is an expiry date for use of this child restraint indicated on the underside of the child restraint base. STOP USING THE CHILD RESTRAINT AND THROW IT AWAY after the date indicated. Please dispose of the unit in a way others cannot reuse it (e.g. use a dark trash bag, do not sell to a thrift shop or in a garage sale, etc.).
! Store the child restraint in a safe place when not in use. DO NOT place heavy objects on top of the child restraint while in storage.
!DO NOT remove any stickers or warnings as they contain important information.

WARNING!

!ALWAYS ASSIST YOUR CHILD WHEN GETTING INTO AND OUT OF THE CHILD RESTRAINT.
INVER LET YOUR CHILD LEAN ON THE ARMREST WHEN GETTING INTO OR EXITING THE CHILD RESTRAINT TO PREVENT THE SEAT FROM TIPPING.
！ENSURE THAT THE CHILD

RESTRAINT IS LEVEL, STABLE AND DOES NOT ROCK SIDE-TO-SIDE. IF THE CHILD RESTRAINT IS NOT STABLE, TRY ANOTHER SEATING LOCATION.

! DO NOT ADD ANYTHING BEHIND OR UNDER THE CHILD RESTRAINT.

Harmony Juvenile Products recommends keeping your child in a forward-facing car seat with a harness until they reach the top height or mass limit allowed by your car seat's manufacturer. Once your child outgrows the forward-facing car seat with a harness, it's time to travel in a booster seat, but still in the back seat.

Transport Canada recommends that children under the age of 13 years be placed in the back seat of the vehicle and away from active front airbags.

According to accident statistics, CHILDREN ARE SAFER WHEN PROPERLY RESTRAINED IN THE REAR SEATING POSITIONS THAN IN THE FRONT SEATING POSITION.

Please study the section "Vehicle seating positions".

Many local police and fire departments frequently hold safety inspection events to ensure that child restraints are properly installed. Please contact your local emergency services department to see if and when they offer this service.

! THE TOP TETHER MUST ALWAYS BE USED WHEN

USING THIS CHILD RESTRAINT WITH HARNESs. Failure to use the vehicle seat belt AND top tether, or UAS AND top tether, or to adjust it properly can result in your child striking the vehicle's interior in a sharp turn, sudden stop or crash, which may result in serious injury or death.

! DO NOT use any load bearing contact points other than those described in the instructions and marked in the child restraint.
! DO NOT allow others to install or use this child restraint unless they read and understand all the instructions and labels.
! DO NOT GIVE THIS CHILD RESTRAINT to someone else without also giving them this instruction manual. Additional instruction manuals can be downloaded directly from www.harmonyjuvenile.com.
! To ensure proper child restraint use, keep and store this instruction manual and refer to it when necessary.
! DO NOT LEAVE A CHILD RESTRAINT UNSECURED IN YOUR VEHICLE. In a collision, sharp turn or sudden stop, an unsecured child restraint can injure other occupants. Remove it or make sure that it is securely

attached with the vehicle seat belt AND top tether, or UAS AND top tether, even when not in use. If not using UAS and/or top tether, make sure UAS and top tether connectors are properly stored on back of the child restraint 1.

INJURYWARNINGS

! INJURIES MAY OCCUR EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT IN A CRASH if the child restraint is not properly installed or if your child is not properly secured in the child restraint.
! The rigid items and plastic parts of a child restraint 9

shall be so located and installed that they are not liable, during everyday use of the vehicle, to become trapped by a movable seat or in a door of the vehicle.

! DO NOT leave folding vehicle seats unlatched. In the event of a sharp turn, sudden stop or crash, a loose seat back could prevent the child restraint from protecting the child as well as it should.
! It is recommended that any luggage or other loose objects liable to cause injuries in the event of a collision shall be properly secured. In the event of a sharp turn, sudden stop or crash, loose objects will keep moving, potentially causing serious injuries.
! The child restraint shall not be used without the cover. It MUST always be used with the fabric cover provided by the manufacturer.
! The seat cover should not be replaced with any other than the one recommended by the manufacturer.
! PARTS OF THE CHILD RESTRAINT COULD BECOME HOT ENOUGH TO BURN THE CHILD IF LEFT IN THE SUN. Contact with these parts can injure your child. ALWAYS touch the surface of any metal or plastic parts before putting your child in the child restraint. Cover the child restraint with a towel or blanket when the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight. KEEP AWAY FROM SUNLIGHT, OTHERWISE IT MAY BE TOO HOT FOR THE CHILD'S SKIN.

VEHICLEWARNINGS

! DO NOT use this child restraint with 2-point vehicle belts (lap-belt only or shoulder-belt only). Your child would be seriously injured in the event of a crash.
! DO NOT use this child restraint with unsafe vehicle seat belts listed in section "Unsafe vehicle seat belt systems" of this manual.
! DO NOT use this child restraint if it can't be properly

installed. It is possible that your vehicle has no suitable seating position for this child restraint due to seat belt type, airbag system and/or lack of location of a tether strap anchor. Read and follow these instructions, and your vehicle owner's manual carefully.

! NEVER attach two UAS lower connectors to the same anchor point.

VEHICLE SEATING POSITIONS

WARNING!

FAILURE TO PROPERLY SECURE YOUR CHILD AND THE CHILD RESTRAINT IN YOUR VEHICLE INCREASES THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IN THE EVENT OF A SHARP TURN, SUDDEN STOP OR CRASH.

WARNING!

IMPROPER PLACEMENT OF THE CHILD RESTRAINT INCREASES THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. Some seating positions in your vehicle may NOT be safe for this child restraint. Some vehicles have NO seating positions which are compatible with this child restraint due to seating surface, seat belt type and/or airbag system. Read and follow these instructions, and your vehicle owner's manual carefully.

WARNING!

Children aged 13 and under MUST ride in the rear seats, away from front airbags. The only exception is if the airbags are turned off. When using a child restraint in a vehicle with active airbags, refer to the vehicle owner's manual for additional installation instructions and precautions. For rear seat installation, adjust the front seat forward

enough to ensure the child's feet do not hit the backrest of the front seat.

WARNING!

Only use this child restraint in forward-facing vehicle seats. Side-facing or rear-facing seats in vans, station wagons or trucks CANNOT be used.

THE VEHICLE SEAT MUST FACE FORWARD. DO NOT

use the child restraint with the following vehicle seats:

• Seats which face sides of vehicle.
• Seats which face rear of vehicle.
• Rear seats of small extended cab pickup trucks.

• The front of the child restraint MUST NOT hang over the edge of the vehicle seat by more than 5 cm (2 inches).

Refer to the vehicle owner's manual for child restraint installation instructions for your specific vehicle.

SAFE VEHICLE SEAT BELT SYSTEMS

WARNING!

SEAT BELTS DIFFER FROM VEHICLE TO VEHICLE AND FROM SEATING LOCATION TO SEATING LOCATION WITHIN THE SAME VEHICLE. NOT ALL VEHICLE SEAT BELTS CAN BE USED WITH THIS CHILD RESTRAINT.

You must determine if your vehicle's seat belts are compatible for use with this child restraint. If you are unsure, consult your vehicle owner's manual or call Harmony Juvenile Products.

! This child restraint is suitable for use in the listed vehicles fitted with 3-point with retractor safety-belts (lap-and-shoulder).

Review your vehicle owner's manual for vehicle seat belt use with child restraints.

UNSAFE VEHICLE SEAT BELT SYSTEMS

This child restraint can be installed properly using MOST vehicle 3-point lap-and-shoulder seat belts. However, some vehicle seat belts are not safe to use as their anchoring points for the lap belt may not allow for a secure installation. NEVER use any unsafe vehicle seat belt systems.

DO NOT USE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING VEHICLE SEAT BELT SYSTEMS WITH THIS CHILD RESTRAINT:

! NEVER use a lap-only belt.
NEVER use a non-locking vehicle seat belt (ELR). This seat belt type locks only when the vehicle slows, changes direction or stops suddenly.

WARNING: Remove the vehicle headrest and/or mesh storage pouch if it inhibits the child restraint from lying flush against the vehicle seat back ③ .

INSTALLING CHILD RESTRAINT IN HARNESSE MODE: UAS OR VEHICLE SEAT BELT

You can install the child restraint using EITHER the UAS or vehicle seat belt.

UAS: The lower Universal Anchorage System (UAS) is used for installing the child restraint WITHOUT using the vehicle seat belts.

! The UAS can ONLY be used if your vehicle has the UAS anchors installed and designated UAS seating positions. Check your vehicle owner's manual to see which seating positions may be equipped with UAS.

Vehicle Seat Belts: If UAS is not an option, you MUST use the vehicle's lap-only or lap-and-shoulder belt to install the child restraint in your vehicle.

UAS (UNIVERSAL ANCHORAGE SYSTEM)

If your vehicle is equipped with UAS, the vehicle UAS anchorage points may be visible at the seat crease. If not visible, they may be marked with this symbol.

Check your vehicle owner's manual for your vehicle's exact UAS locations, anchor identifications and usage requirements for use with a child restraint.

! Use vehicle belt (NOT UAS connectors) for installations with children weighing more than 22.68 ~kg (50 pounds).

WARNING: CONSULT YOUR VEHICLE OWNER'S MANUAL FOR THE EXACT PLACEMENT OF THESE ELEMENTS IN YOUR VEHICLE, AND FOR MAXIMUM UAS WEIGHT ALLOWANCES PRIOR TO INSTALLATION AS SOME MANUFACTURERS HAVE LOWER MAXIMUM WEIGHT ALLOWANCES FOR UAS USAGE.

INSTALLING WITH UAS SYSTEM

1. Unhook UAS from storage loops For ease of installation, extend UAS to its maximum length. Ensure the UAS strap is NOT twisted and that the UAS connectors are facing down 1.

2. Place the child restraint flush against a forward-facing vehicle seat, centered between the UAS anchors. Adjust the recline as necessary (see "Recline").

3. Fasten UAS hooks to vehicle lower anchors ensuring the hooks are facing downwards 2. Pull firmly to be sure that they are attached. BELT MUST LAY FLAT AND NOT BE TWISTED.

4. Tighten UAS by placing your knee on the child restraint base and by using your full weight to push the child restraint down as you simultaneously pull upwards on the free end of the adjustment belt 3

TIP: If you are not able to tighten UAS using the method above, try pulling the UAS strap up through the belt path (under the fabric) ④ , then tighten.

1. Should you need to loosen the UAS, push the UAS release button 5.

WARNING: NEVER put two UAS connectors on one vehicle UAS anchor unless specifically allowed by the manufacturer 6.

1. Secure the top of the ch restraint using the top tether strap (see "Using top tether").

! Conduct a safety check for a secure installation (see "Installation safety check"). Perform this test every time you drive with your child and whenever you readjust the child restraint as your child grows.

INSTALLING WITH LAP-AND-SHOULDER OR LAP-ONLY BELT SYSTEM

If a UAS installation is not an option, then use the following belt-only installation method.

WARNING: UAS must be stored when using the vehicle belt. Clip both UAS hooks to the fabric loops on each side of the backrest 1.

1. Place the child restraint flush against the back of a forward-facing vehicle seat. Adjust the recline as necessary (see "Recline").

2. Thread the vehicle seat belt through the belt slot opening and out the other side. See illustrations for proper routing path of Lap-and-Shoulder Belt 2 or Lap-Only Belt 3.

3. Buckle the vehicle seat belt. The vehicle seat belt MUST NOT be twisted.

To engage vehicle seat belt retractor:

1. Pull out the full length of the seat belt (until you cannot pull out any more slack). This locks the retractor.

2. Tighten vehicle seat belt by placing your knee on the seat base and by using your full weight to push the child restraint down 4 as you simultaneously release the extra belt length until seat belt is taunt and has no slack 5.

1. The locked seat belt retractor will not allow you to add any length to the belt until you unbuckle the seat belt.

For more information on how to tighten the belt for your seat belt system, see your vehicle owner's manual.

1. Secure the top of the child restraint using the top tether strap (see section “Using Top Tether”).

USING TOP TETHER

! THE TOP TETHER MUST BE USED AT ALL TIMES WHEN USING CHILD RESTRAINT IN HARNESSE MODE. Using your child restraint with the Top Tether strap properly anchored to the vehicle, as indicated in these instructions, may reduce the chance and severity of injury or death to your child in the event of a sudden stop or crash.

All UAS seating positions have Top Tether anchors. Check your vehicle owner's manual for Top Tether anchor locations. If your vehicle is not equipped with a Top Tether anchor, it may be possible to have one installed. Contact your vehicle dealership or a certified mechanic for the proper anchor location and installation.

Your vehicle's Top Tether Anchor Points may be identified using one of these symbols:

• Check that the Top Tether is securely attached to the child restraint.
• Fasten Top Tether clip to anchor point ensuring the clip is facing downwards and the strap is not twisted ① .
• With the child restraint installed with the UAS or vehicle seat belt, tighten the Top Tether strap securely by pulling on the free end of the Top Tether strap ②.
• To loosen, press the Top Tether release button 3.

!WARNING: Ensure that Top Tether strap is NOT twisted.

INSTALLATION SAFETY CHECK

Perform this test EVERY TIME you drive with your child and whenever you readjust the child restraint as your child grows:

Rock the child restraint back and forth and side to side to make sure the UAS or vehicle seat belt does not lengthen or loosen, and the child move easily 1.

The back of the child restraint (connection point) should not move more than 2.5 cm (1 inch) in any direction.

Check to ensure that side bolts and backrest connector rod are tightly secured.

If the child restraint is loose or not properly secured, repeat procedure OR find another location for the child restraint (see "Vehicle seating postions").

INSTALLING LOCKING CLIP

A locking clip is used to prevent certain vehicle seat belts from loosening before a sudden stop or crash. The locking clip can ONLY be used on a vehicle lap-and-shoulder belt. A locking clip will not fix all types of vehicle seat belt problems.

If your vehicle's 3-point lap-and-shoulder seat belt is equipped with an Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) that is NOT convertible to function as an Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR), then the locking clip MUST be used.

If you have any questions about the specific type of seat belt system in your vehicle and/or its operation, consult your vehicle owner's manual.

• Follow the steps to properly secure vehicle lap-and-shoulder seat belt (see "Installing with lap-and-shoulder or lap-only belt system").

• Once seat belt is attached and properly adjusted, grasp the two straps (lap and shoulder) together as close to the vehicle belt buckle plate as possible. Unbuckle the belt without allowing it to slip.

• Attach the locking clip around both lap and shoulder belts 1.

• Position the locking clip about 2.5cm (1 inch) from vehicle belt's buckle plate.

• Rebuckle belt. Check that the lap belt does not move by pulling hard. If belt loosens or lengthens, repeat the procedure.

Test installation to see if child restraint is secure. The child restraint should NOT be able to move in any direction where it connects to the vehicle. If the child restraint can be moved more than 2.5 cm (1 inch) in any direction at the connection point, then unbuckle the seat completely and repeat the steps above until secure (see "Installation safety check"). If you have any questions, please contact Harmony Juvenile Products customer service.

! Store locking clip when not in use.
! DO NOT use locking clip in booster mode.

USING CHILD RESTRAINT WITH BUILT-IN HARNESSE

WARNING!

FAILURE TO FASTEN AND TIGHTEN THE HARNESSE SYSTEM CORRECTLY MAY CAUSE THE CHILD TO BE EJECTED FROM THE RESTRAINT SYSTEM IN CASE OF A SHARP TURN, SUDDEN STOP OR CRASH CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. In a crash, the child restraint will provide NO protection for your child unless the harness straps are properly secured. DO NOT mistake comfort for safety. Harness system MUST be snugly adjusted. Follow these instructions carefully.

Incorrect use of the harness system is the most common mistake people make. It is VERY important to read, understand and follow ALL instructions and warnings. DO NOT mistake comfort for safety. The harness system MUST be snugly adjusted at all times.
! Snugly adjust the harness provided with this child restraint around your child. A snug strap is one with no slack. It should not press on the child's flesh or cause your child's body to be in an unnatural position. You should only be able to slide ONE FINGER between the shoulder straps and the child's shoulder.

! Avoid unnecessary bulky clothing.

SECURING CHILD IN CHILD RESTRAINT

• Adjust harness height ("Preparing child restraint for use").

• Open harness chest clip by pressing in pin clips while pulling apart the two-piece chest clip 1.
