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

installaon 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 instrucons and the vehicle owner’s manual.

WARNING!

!

doubt about installing this child restraint, consult the

vehicle owner’s manual or call the Harmony Customer

Service Department.

Follow all labels on this child restraint and in these

wrien instrucons. 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 substanally improve the chances for survival and

reduce the risk of serious injury in most crashes.

Carefully follow the instrucons 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.

7

! DO NOT allow children to play with this child restraint.

! NEVER leave children alone in a vehicle under any

circumstance.

! Set a good example by ALWAYS wearing your seat belt.

Make it a rm rule that the vehicle does not move unl

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 deterioraon, hidden damage,

etc., disconnue use of this child restraint if it is older

than . 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 on 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 thri shop or in a

garage sale, etc.).

USAGE WARNINGS

Harmony Juvenile Products recommends

keeping your child in a forward-facing car

seat with a harness unl 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 me to travel in a

booster seat, but sll 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 acve front airbags.

According to accident stascs, CHILDREN ARE SAFER

WHEN PROPERLY RESTRAINED IN REAR VEHICLE

8

SEATING POSITIONS THAN IN THE FRONT SEATING

POSITION.

Many local police and re departments frequently hold

safety inspecon events to ensure that child restraints

are properly installed. Please contact your local

emergency services department to see if and when they

oer this service.

! ALWAYS USE THE TOP TETHER 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 allow others to install or use this child restraint

unless they read and understand all the instrucons

and labels.

! DO NOT GIVE THIS CHILD RESTRAINT to someone else

without also giving them this instrucon manual.

! To ensure proper child restraint use, keep and store

this instrucon 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

aached 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 ❶.

INJURY WARNINGS

! 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.

! 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

protecng the child as well as it should.

! DO NOT leave loose objects, e.g. books, bags, etc.,

in the back of a vehicle. In the event of a sharp turn,

sudden stop or crash, loose objects will keep moving,

potenally causing serious injuries.

! 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.

! 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 plasc

parts before pung your child in the child restraint.

Cover the child restraint when the vehicle is parked in

direct sunlight.

AIRBAG. An inang airbag may cause serious injury

or death. Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual

for informaon about airbags and child restraint

installaon.

! DO NOT use anything to raise the child restraint o

the vehicle seat. Untested modicaons such as

adding extra padding could aect the safety of the

child restraint and result in serious injury or death in

a crash.

! DO NOT, EXCEPT AS DESCRIBED IN THESE

INSTRUCTIONS, MODIFY YOUR CHILD RESTRAINT,

DISASSEMBLE ANY PART OR CHANGE THE WAY

THE HARNESS OR VEHICLE SEAT BELTS ARE USED.

This includes any accessories or parts by other

manufacturers as non-tested accessories can aect

the safety of the child restraint.

DAMAGE WARNINGS

CHOOSING AN APPROPRIATE

VEHICLE SEAT LOCATION

FAILURE TO PROPERLY SECURE YOUR CHILD AND

THE CHILD RESTRAINT IN YOUR VEHICLE INCREASES

THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IN THE

WARNING!

!

12

IMPROPER PLACEMENT OF THE CHILD RESTRAINT

INCREASES THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

Some seang posions in your vehicle may NOT be

safe for this child restraint. Some vehicles have NO

seang posions which are compable with this

child restraint because of the type of seat, seat belt

system, airbag system, lack of locaon to anchor the

top tether strap and/or any seang posions where

the child restraint is level and stable when installed.

ALWAYS read and follow the vehicle owner’s manual

for child restraint system use.

WARNING!

!

Transport Canada reports that

according to accident stascs,

children aged 13 and under

are safest when riding in the REAR seats, away from

front airbags. The only excepon is if airbags are

turned o. When using a child restraint in a vehicle

with airbags, refer to the vehicle owner’s manual for

addional child restraint installaon instrucons and

precauons.
