Frequently Asked Questions - Triumph Evenflo

What are the weight and height limits for rear-facing?

Rear-facing is for children weighing 5 to 40 lbs (2.3 to 18 kg) and measuring 19 to 37 inches (48 to 94 cm) in height. The top of the child's head must be at least 1 inch (25 mm) below the top of the child restraint seat back.

Can I use the Evenflo Triumph forward-facing before my child turns 2?

No, forward-facing use requires the child to be at least 2 years old. Additionally, the child must weigh between 22 and 65 lbs (10 to 29.4 kg) and be 28 to 50 inches (71 to 127 cm) tall with ears below the top of the seat back.

How do I install the car seat using the vehicle seat belt?

Route the vehicle seat belt through the appropriate belt path (rear or forward-facing). Buckle the belt, then apply your full weight into the child restraint while tightening. Ensure the restraint does not move more than 1 inch (25 mm) side-to-side or front-to-back at the belt path. If needed, install a locking clip (not included) for older vehicles.

What is the LATCH system and how do I use it with this seat?

LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) allows installation without using the vehicle seat belt. Attach the lower anchor connectors to the vehicle's lower anchor bars. The seat must not move more than 1 inch at the belt path. The maximum child weight for LATCH installation is 50 lbs (22.7 kg). When not in use, store the connectors in the storage area on the base.

How do I adjust the recline angle?

The Evenflo Triumph has three recline positions. For rear-facing, use Position #1 (most reclined) so the level arrow is parallel to the ground. For forward-facing, use Position #2 or #3. Adjust by lifting the back of the seat while pulling the ReclineRight™ lever located under the front of the seat.

Can I use this car seat on an airplane?

Yes, the Evenflo Triumph is certified for aircraft use. Install it rear or forward-facing following the instructions in the manual. Make sure the aircraft seat belt is routed through the correct belt path and the seat does not move more than 1 inch. The FAA recommends rear-facing for children under 20 lbs and forward-facing for 20-40 lbs.

How do I clean the seat pad?

The seat pad is removable and machine washable. Wash separately in cold water on the delicate cycle. Tumble dry on low heat for 10 to 15 minutes. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. The harness straps should be wiped clean with mild soap and water and air dried.

What is the expiration date of this car seat?

The expiration date is printed on the date-of-manufacture label attached to the seat. Typically, car seats expire 6 to 10 years after manufacture. Always check the label and discontinue use after the expiration date or after a crash.

Can I use additional padding or accessories with this seat?

Only use accessories provided by Evenflo or described in the manual. Do not add aftermarket padding, toys, or devices not tested with the seat. The optional Body Pillow and Infant Head Support may be used only in the rear-facing position.

How do I register my car seat for recall notices?

To reduce the risk of serious injury

or death, read this owner's manual prior

to installing and using this child restraint.

More children are killed every year as passengers in car crashes than by any other type of injury.

To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH, read this owner's manual and your vehicle owner's manual before installing and using this child restraint. Using a child restraint makes a big difference. By properly using this child restraint and following these instructions (and the instructions that accompany your vehicle), you will greatly reduce the risk of serious injury or death to your child from a crash. Do not be misled by the commonly used term "safety seat"; no restraint system can prevent all injuries in all crashes. Many properly restrained adults and children are injured in motor vehicle crashes, including relatively minor crashes. A properly used child restraint is the best way to minimize injuries to your child and to increase the chances for your child's survival in most crashes.

CHILD REQUIREMENTS

Warning: Failure to follow these Child Requirements could result in serious injury or death.

This child restraint is designed for use by children in both rear-facing and forward-facing orientations. To use this child restraint properly, children MUST meet the size and age requirements below. In addition, Evenflo recommends consulting with your child's physician before allowing your child to transition from rear-facing to forward-facing use of this child restraint.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends keeping children rear-facing until 2 years old or until they reach the maximum height or weight for their child restraint in rear-facing orientation. Additionally, some states' laws require children to be rear-facing until age 2. Accordingly, you will see this guidance reflected in the Child Requirements below. Please review any applicable local, state or provincial laws related to child passenger safety before installing and using this child restraint.

Rear-facing

• 2.3 to 18 kg (5 to 40 lbs)
- 48 to 94~cm (19 to 37 in.) and top of child's head is at least 25~mm (1 in.) below the top of the child restraint seat back

IMPORTANT: Once your child exceeds any of the size requirements above, they MUST use this child restraint in the forward-facing orientation, if possible. If your child exceeds any of the size requirements above and is less than 2 years old, however, you MUST discontinue use of this child restraint.

Forward-facing

• 10 to 29.4 kg (22 to 65 lbs)
- 71 to 127 cm (28 to 50 in.) and tops of the child's ears are at or below the top of the child restraint seat back
- At least 2 years old

IMPORTANT: Once your child exceeds any of the size requirements for forward-facing use above, you MUST discontinue use of this child restraint. Consider use of a booster seat at that time.

PREMATURE INFANT USE

Before using this child restraint for preterm or low birth weight infants, ensure the Child Requirements are met and follow the guidelines in this section.

According to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a properly installed child restraint reduces the risk of death by over 70 percent for infants involved in crashes. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 213 establishes design and dynamic performance requirements for child restraint systems. However, the standard has no minimum weight limit and does not address the special medical needs of preterm or low-birth weight infants. To ensure that preterm and low-birth weight infants are transported safely, the guidelines published by the American

Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) in Pediatrics 2009; 123:1424–1429 must be followed.

All children should ride rear-facing in the vehicle as long as possible. Preterm and low-birth weight infants are at additional risk of breathing difficulties and heart problems when placed in a child restraint. Evenflo requires that the evaluation recommended by the AAP be conducted for all infants born earlier than 37 weeks and all newborn infants who weigh less than 5 pounds at birth before their first car trip to check for breathing difficulties or heart rate problems when traveling in a rear-facing child restraint.

The AAP recommends that appropriate hospital staff observe your infant in the child restraint for a period of 90 to 120 minutes or the duration of travel, whichever is longer. This period of observation must be performed with the infant properly positioned as described in these instructions and with the child restraint placed at an angle that is approved for use in the vehicle. The hospital staff will check for any breathing difficulties or heart rate problems. Your child's pediatrician will let you know if there are any special considerations for travel. The number of trips and the duration of time the infant is seated in the child restraint should be minimized. A caregiver should ride in the back seat to monitor the infant during travel.

You can learn more about the AAP's recommendations for observation of newborns and the guidelines for safe transportation of preterm and low-birth weight infants, as well as other resources for parents and medical professionals, at

⚠ WARNING WARNING

Air Bag Warning

- DO NOT use this child restraint in the front seat of a vehicle equipped with an air bag, unless the air bag has been deactivated. Interaction between a rear-facing restraint and air bags may cause serious injury or death. Air bags may cause serious injury or death to children 12 years of age and under. If your vehicle has an air bag, refer to your vehicle owner's manual for child restraint installation.

- If the rear seat of your vehicle is equipped with side air bags, refer to the following information for proper usage:

Vehicles built prior to the 2002 model year:

DO NOT use this restraint in a vehicle seating position equipped with a side air bag unless authorized by the vehicle manufacturer.

Model year 2002 and newer vehicles:

Refer to your vehicle owner's manual before placing this restraint in a seating position equipped with a side air bag.

- DO NOT place any objects between the restraint and the side air bag, as an expanding air bag may cause the items to strike your child.

The forward facing back seat is the safest place for children 12 and under.

General Warnings

Rear-facing and Forward-facing Use

- Failure to follow the Child Requirements for rear-facing and forward-facing use of this child restraint could result in serious injury or death. (See page 4 for Child Requirements).

- Failure to follow installation instructions can result in the child striking the vehicle's interior during a sudden stop or crash. Serious injury or death may result. These instructions and the instructions in your vehicle owner's manual must be followed carefully. If there is a conflict between the two, the vehicle owner's manual regarding child restraint installation must be followed.

• NEVER leave child unattended.

• Children have STRANGLED in loose or partially buckled harness straps. Fully restrain the child.

⚠ WARNING
		Children have STRANGLEDin loose or partially buckledharness straps. Fully restrainthe child.

• DO NOT use child restraint if it is damaged, broken, or missing parts.
• DO NOT use this restraint if it has been involved in a crash. It must be replaced.
  • DO NOT remove back cover.

Location Warnings

Rear-facing and Forward-facing Use

• ALWAYS read and follow exactly the instructions that accompany your vehicle and child restraint.
• According to statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in a rear seating position than in the front seating position. Generally, the center rear position is safest and should be used if available.
• Some child restraints do not fit all vehicles or all seating locations. There are many thousands of combinations of vehicle makes, models, child restraint configurations, vehicle seat belt designs, and seat cushion shapes. The easiest way to determine whether your child restraint is suitable for a particular seating position is to check

⚠ WARNING WARNING

Location Warnings – continued

Rear-facing and Forward-facing Use

for a tight installation. If the child restraint cannot be properly installed, DO NOT use the child restraint. Consult vehicle owner's manual, try a different seating location, or call Evenflo for further assistance.

• ONLY use this child restraint on forward-facing vehicle seats. DO NOT use this restraint with vehicle seats that face the rear or side.
• ONLY use this child restraint on vehicle seats with backs that lock into place.

Premature Infants

Rear-facing Use Only

- DO NOT use this or any child restraint with a premature infant until after consulting your doctor. Premature infants may have difficulty breathing when in a seated or semi-reclined position. Using additional padding or pillows behind the infant's head or failing to properly recline the child restraint could increase the child's risk of serious injury or death.

Rear-facing Only Warnings

• When using this restraint rear-facing, DO NOT loosen the vehicle seat belt to provide more leg room, as this will prevent the child restraint from protecting the child.
• Fold-down armrests could pose a hazard to a rear-facing child in certain types of collisions. Consult your vehicle owner's manual before installing any rear-facing child restraint in front of a fold-down armrest.
• NEVER turn a child restraint forward-facing with a child who weighs less than 10 kg (22 lbs). Crash forces may cause serious injury or death.
• DO NOT use the tether strap when the child restraint is in the rear-facing position.
• The headrest on the vehicle seat that the child faces when sitting in the rear-facing mode should be placed in the lowest position. The vehicle seat back that the child faces must be fully padded and free of any hard objects.

Forward-facing Only Warnings

• If your child weighs more than 29.4 kg (65 lbs) or their shoulders are above the highest harness level, you MUST discontinue using this child restraint as it may no longer adequately protect your child.
• MUST be at least 2 years old.
• Adjust, or remove, the vehicle headrest in the seat where the child restraint is to be installed, so that the back of the child restraint rests against the vehicle seat back.
• The headrest on the vehicle seat in front of the child should be put in its lowest position. The vehicle seat back that the child faces must be fully padded and free of any hard objects.

Seat Belt Warnings

Rear-facing and Forward-facing Use

• DO NOT use this child restraint if it moves more than 25 mm (1 in.) side to side or front to back at either the rear-facing or forward-facing belt path on the child restraint. Serious injury or death may result from poor installation. If you cannot tightly secure the child restraint, try again or move it to another location.
• DO NOT use this child restraint in a seating position with door-mounted seat belts.
• DO NOT use this child restraint in a vehicle with seat belts that automatically move along the vehicle frame when the door is opened. These seat belts will not hold a child restraint properly.
• DO NOT use this child restraint in a vehicle equipped with lap belts that only lock during a sudden stop or crash (emergency locking retractor – ELR). You must use a seating location with a locking seat belt. Check your vehicle owner's manual to see if you have lap belts with ELRs.
• If the vehicle seat belts are not routed and fastened correctly, the child restraint may not protect the child in a crash.
• DO NOT allow the vehicle seat belt release button to touch the child restraint. Accidental contact may cause the seat belt to release. If necessary, turn the seat belt release button away from the child restraint or move the child restraint to a different location.
• Failure to adjust the harness or vehicle seat belts snugly around the child may result in the child striking the vehicle's interior during a sudden stop or crash. Serious injury or death may occur.

⚠ WARNING WARNING

LATCH Warnings

Rear-facing and Forward-facing Use

- DO NOT use the lower anchors of the child restraint anchorage system (LATCH system) to attach this child restraint when restraining a child weighing more than 22.7 kg (50 lbs) with the internal harnesses of the child restraint.

- The LATCH system is intended to be used ONLY as described in these instructions. Serious injury or death may result from misuse. LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) is a system for attaching the child restraint to your vehicle seat. It can be used in place of the seat belts in vehicles with vehicle lower anchor bars. Refer to your vehicle owner's manual for the locations of the vehicle lower anchor bars.

Note: Your vehicle owner's manual may refer to this system as "Universal Anchorage System," "Lower Universal Anchorage System," or "ISOFIX."

- In addition to these instructions, read and follow your vehicle owner's manual regarding installation of the child restraint and LATCH. If there is a discrepancy, follow your vehicle owner's manual.

- ONLY use for securing child restraint to vehicle lower anchor bars.

- NEVER attach two lower anchor connectors to one vehicle lower anchor bar.

- NEVER use the vehicle seat belts when using the Lower anchor connector assembly. Using both together can cause slack in a sudden stop or crash.

- To avoid strangulation, you must store the unused LATCH harness, with all slack removed, in the storage area on the base. Roll or fold the excess LATCH strap and secure with a rubber band to prevent serious injury to vehicle occupants.

- ALWAYS be sure that the lower anchor connectors are attached to the vehicle lower anchor bars by pulling hard on the lower anchor connectors. If they are not attached, the lower anchor connector assembly will not secure your child restraint. Serious injury or death may result.

- DO NOT use this child restraint if it moves more than 25 mm (1 in.) side to side or front to back at either the rear-facing or forward-facing belt path on the child restraint. Serious injury or death may result from poor installation. If you cannot tightly secure the child restraint, try again or move it to another location.

Tether Strap Warnings

Forward-facing Use Only

- To avoid a strangulation hazard, you MUST tightly roll or fold excess or unused tether strap and secure with a rubber band. Attach the tether hook to the storage clip when not in use (p. 16). This will keep an unused tether from hitting someone during a crash.

Additional Warnings

Rear-facing and Forward-facing Use

- In hot or sunny weather, ALWAYS check the areas of the child restraint that may contact your child (e.g., buckle, buckle tongues, etc.) for hot areas before placing him/her into the child restraint. The child could be burned. Cover the child restraint with a light colored blanket when you leave the vehicle.

- This child restraint must be securely fastened to the vehicle, even when unoccupied, using the vehicle seat belts or lower anchor connectors. An unsecured child restraint may injure someone if a crash occurs.

- DO NOT use the cup holder to store cans or hard cups. Only for use with soft cups.

- DO NOT place any cups that contain hot liquids in the cup holder.

- DO NOT attach additional padding, toys, or other devices not made by Evenflo or described in these instructions for the child restraint. Items not tested with the child restraint could injure the child. Additional pads or pillows may interfere with the function of the harness system, or cause breathing problems if the child's head falls forward, increasing the risk of serious injury or death.

- Failure to follow installation instructions could result in serious injury or death. These instructions and the instructions in your vehicle owner's manual must be followed carefully. If there is a conflict between the two, the vehicle owner's manual regarding child restraint installation must be followed.

- In cold weather, DO NOT dress the child in bulky clothing like snowsuits if the child is riding in a child restraint. Bulky coats/snowsuits make it difficult to properly tighten the harness to the child, which may allow the child to be ejected from the restraint during a crash. If necessary, place a blanket over the harnessed child without interfering with the child restraint harness system.

WARNING

Safe Practices

• Everyone rides buckled up or the vehicle does not go. Make no exceptions for adults or children. If someone unbuckles, stop the vehicle. Being firm and consistent from the start will mean fewer discipline problems as children get older. An unrestrained person can be thrown into and injure other passengers.
• Many safety advocates and healthcare professionals recommend that children ride rear-facing for as long as possible. See limitations recommended on rear-facing use on the inside front cover.
• NEVER try to tend to a crying baby's needs while driving. NEVER take a baby out of a child restraint for comforting while the vehicle is moving.
• DO NOT allow a child in a vehicle to have objects such as lollipops or ice cream on a stick. The object can injure the child if the vehicle swerves or hits a bump.
• DO NOT feed an infant who is riding in a child restraint.
• Put sharp or heavy items in the trunk. Anything loose can be deadly in a crash.

WARNING

When using this restraint rear-facing, DO NOT loosen the vehicle seat belt to provide more leg room as this will prevent the child restraint from protecting your child.

Infants MUST always ride facing the rear of the vehicle. The back of the child restraint supports and protects the baby and absorbs crash forces.

This child restraint has three recline positions. The most reclined position (Position #1) is ONLY for rear-facing. Make sure that the seat is positioned so that the level arrow is parallel with the ground.

Note: In some vehicles, it may be necessary to place a tightly rolled towel or small blanket A beneath the front edge of the child restraint to provide enough recline so that the level arrow is parallel to the ground.

Remove bottom half of seat pad for easier belt routing, as shown.

Route the vehicle seat belt through the rear-facing belt path Ⓐ, continue through the opposite opening of the child restraint. Fasten the vehicle seat belt as shown depending on your type of seat belt. Reconnect the seat pad to the front of the child restraint.

Note: Install locking clip on lap and shoulder belt combinations, if necessary.

The seat belt must be as tight as possible.

Put your full weight into the child restraint as you tighten the seat belt D. If you can move the child restraint more than 25 mm (1 in.) side to side or front to back at the rear-facing

belt path C, the vehicle belt is not tight enough, and you need to try again, or install with the lower anchor connector assembly (p. 24). After your vehicle seat belts are fastened, hook the seat pad back into place.

Install Locking Clip (not included), if necessary.

If your vehicle was built prior to model year 1996, and has a lap/shoulder belt that is equipped with an emergency locking retractor (ELR) AND sliding latch plate, you MUST use a Locking Clip. Check your vehicle owner's manual to identify which vehicle belt system is in your vehicle.

If your vehicle is model year 1996 or newer, it likely has a vehicle belt system that can be locked when tightened, and will not require use of a Locking Clip.

Consult your vehicle owner's manual before installing a locking clip.

If your vehicle requires a Locking Clip, please call ParentLink at 1-800-233-5921 (U.S.) or 1-937-773-3971 (Canada), or 01-800-706-12-00 (Mexico). to obtain a Locking Clip and instructions on how to install and use it.

WARNING

Remove Locking Clip from vehicle seat belt when not used with a child restraint, or the vehicle seat belt will not properly restrain an adult or child. Serious injury could occur.

WARNING

• If vehicle seat belts are not routed and fastened correctly, the child restraint may not protect your child in a crash.
• DO NOT use this child restraint if it moves more than 25 mm (1 in.) side to side or front to back at the rear-facing belt path. Serious injury or death may result from poor installation. If you can not tightly secure the child restraint, try again or move it to another location, or install with the lower anchor connector assembly.

Check your work.

Make certain the belts are tight. If you can move the child restraint more than 25 mm (1 in.) side to side or front to back at the rear-facing belt path Ⓗ, the vehicle belt is not tight enough. If you have not tightly secured the child restraint, try again, move it to another location, or install with the lower anchor connector assembly (p. 24).

7 WARNING

• To avoid a strangulation hazard, you MUST tightly roll or fold excess tether strap and secure with the strap/rubber band.
• Attach the tether hook to the storage clip when not in use. This will keep an unused tether from hitting someone during a crash.

Interior view of a car seat with a highlighted cable and label E (no text or symbols on the diagram itself)

When the tether strap is not in use, you MUST attach the hook Ⓔ to the back of the child restraint, and tightly roll and secure the strap with the strap/rubber band.

The vehicle seat belt must be as tight as possible. Using your full weight, push the child restraint firmly into the vehicle seat as you tighten the vehicle belt Ⓗ.

If you can move the child restraint more than 25 mm (1 in.) side to side or front to back at the forward-facing belt path D, the seat belt is not tight enough, you will need to try again, or install with the lower anchor connector assembly (page 36).

⚠ WARNING

• If vehicle seat belts are not routed and fastened correctly, the child restraint may not protect your child in a crash.
• DO NOT use this child restraint if it moves more than 25 mm (1 in.) side to side or front to back at the vehicle belt path. Serious injury or death may result from poor installation. If you can not tightly secure the child restraint, try again or move it to another location, or install with the lower anchor connector assembly (page 36).

Note: If your tether strap does not reach the vehicle tether anchor bracket, call Evenflo's ParentLink for a tether extender, at 1-800-233-5921 (U.S.) or 1-937-773-3971 (Canada), or 01-800-706-12-00 (Mexico).

WARNING

• To avoid a strangulation hazard, you MUST tightly roll or fold excess tether strap and secure with the strap/rubber band.
• Attach the tether hook to the storage clip when not in use. This will keep an unused tether from hitting someone during a crash.

After adjusting the top tether strap, you may have excess strap; DO NOT cut it off. If you do, it may not be long enough to use in another vehicle. Instead, tightly roll up the excess tether strap and place the rubber band around the bundle.

The harness straps must be snug against the child. A snug strap should not allow any slack. It lies in a relatively straight line without sagging. It does not press on the child's flesh or push the child's body into an unnatural position. Check the harness straps near the shoulders for slack. You should NOT be able to pinch the harness (see illustration). Adjust as needed.

Adjusting the Crotch Strap

As your child grows, you will need to change the crotch strap position so that it is in the slot closest to your child. The crotch strap should ALWAYS be as close as possible to, but NEVER under, the child's bottom.

To adjust the crotch strap, grasp the bottom of the strap A and twist it to align with the length wise slot B. Move to the desired position. Twist the strap back into position. Be sure that the crotch strap is securely in place.

Securing Your Child Restraint in Aircraft

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recommends that you secure your child for air travel in an appropriate child restraint based on your child's weight and size. Turbulence can happen with little or no warning. When turbulence occurs, the safest place for your child is in a properly installed child restraint, not in an adult's lap or on the aircraft seat with its seat belt. Keeping your child in a child restraint during the flight will help ensure your family arrives safely at your destination.

The FAA recommends that a child weighing:*

• more than 18 kg (40 lbs) use an aircraft seat belt;
  • less than 9 kg (20 lbs) use a rear-facing child restraint; and
  • from 9 to 18 kg (20 to 40 lbs) use a forward-facing child restraint.
  * Please note that these FAA recommendations may vary from those applicable to the use of your child restraint in a motor vehicle.

Installing Child Restraint Rear-facing in Aircraft

1

IMPORTANT: Before installing the child restraint, make sure the aircraft seat is in a fully upright position.

Unbuckle the aircraft seat belts A and lay over the armrests, as shown. Adjust the child restraint B to its recline position (page 21), then place it on the aircraft seat C rear-facing.

Pull the seat pad off the front of the child restraint. Route the aircraft seat belt A through the rear-facing belt path D opening on one side and continue through the belt path opening on the opposite side of the child restraint, as shown above.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the aircraft seat belt A is in front of the crotch strap E, as shown above.

Fasten the aircraft seat belt A.

The aircraft seat belt A must be as tight as possible. Route the excess seat belt strap F back through the rear-facing belt path D opening, as shown above. Using your full weight, push the child restraint firmly onto the aircraft seat while pulling on the excess seat belt strap to tighten.

Check your work. Reconnect the seat pad to the front of the child restraint. Try to move the child restraint in all directions. If you can move the restraint more than 25 mm (1 in.) side to side or front to back at the rear-facing belt path D, the aircraft seat belt A is not tight enough, and you MUST install again until the seat belt is tight.

Secure your Child in the Child Restraint

Refer to page 41.

Installing Child Restraint Forward-facing in Aircraft

1

IMPORTANT: Before installing the child restraint, make sure the aircraft seat is in a fully upright position.

The aircraft seat belt must be as tight as possible. Route the excess aircraft seat belt strap

E back through the forward-facing belt path D opening, as shown above.

Using your full weight, push the child restraint firmly onto the aircraft seat while pulling on the excess seat belt strap to tighten.

Note: Because of the fixed length of aircraft seat belts, the belt buckle could be behind the child's back after tightening the belt. For your child's comfort, Evenflo recommends cushioning the child's back by placing a small pillow or folded-up blanket, or a folded-up jacket, over the belt buckle.

Check your work. Reconnect the seat pad to the front of the child restraint. Try to move the child restraint in all directions. If you can move the restraint more than 25 mm (1 in.) side to side or front to back at the forward-facing belt path, the aircraft seat belt is not tight enough, and you MUST install again until the seat belt is tight.
