WARNING DEATH OR
SERIOUS INJURY can occur!
This child restraint system is not certified for use in aircraft.
This child restraint system is designed for use by children with
special challenges.
Failure to properly use this child restraint increases the risk of
serious injury or death in a sharp turn, sudden stop or crash. Your
child’s safety depends on you installing and using this child
restraint correctly.
Read the child restraint and vehicle manufacturer's instructions
for proper installation and use. Child restraint user guide located
in the pocket on the lower back of the unit.
Child restraint MUST be reclined when installed rear facing and
MUST be used in upright position when forward facing.
Use only with children who weigh between
2.3-18 kg (5-39.6 pounds)
and whose height is 104 cm (41”) or less.
Use forward facing for children whose weight is between 10.1-18
kg (22.2-39.6 pounds).
Use rear facing for children whose weight is between 2.3-18kg
(5-39.6 pounds).
Harness Covers MUST be used at all times.
Snugly adjust the belts provided with this child restraint around
your child.
Never route the vehicle belt over the child.
For casted children, caregivers should ensure the combined
weight of children and cast never exceed weight limit. Always
refer to Securing Your Child section for proper fitment.
Quokka may be used in combination with aftermarket
waterproofed soft liner. A soft liner MUST never interfere with the
essential function of the child restraint.
The use of non approved child restraint covers, inserts, toys,
accessories, or tightening devices can cause this child restraint
to fail Federal safety standards or not perform as intended in a
crash.
Secure this child restraint even when it is not occupied. In a
crash, an unsecured child restraint may injure vehicle occupants.
Never carry this child restraint with any belts or webbing. Doing
so could cause damage to the harness adjuster and webbing.
Always carry this child restraint by the seat shell.
2
WARNING DEATH OR
SERIOUS INJURY can occur!
Check vehicle owner’s manual for vehicle top tether anchor and
lower LATCH anchor locations.
Check vehicle owner’s manual or contact the vehicle
manufacturer for the maximum weight rating to their LATCH
anchors. Use vehicle belt (not LATCH connectors) for installations
with children who weigh more than the vehicle LATCH anchor
limit. Unless specified otherwise by the vehicle manufacturer,
assume a 18 kg (40 pound) child is the vehicle LATCH anchor
limit.
Based on crash statistics, the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) recommends that parents select the
back seat as the safest location for a properly installed child
restraint. Please study the Vehicle Compatibility section in this
instruction manual to ensure your child’s safety and consult your
vehicle owner’s manual.
The primary protection for occupants of a vehicle in a collision is
the body of the vehicle itself; a child restraint will not protect a
child when a vehicle is seriously impacted. However, when
correctly installed, a child restraint will substantially improve
chances for survival in most crashes. Make sure all users fully
understand the correct ways to use this child restraint in a
vehicle.
To prevent injury due to deterioration or hidden damage,
discontinue use of a child restraint that is older than Seven years
or has been in a moderate or severe crash. See date of
manufacture located on the child restraint.
This child restraint MUST not be used in the home, in boats, or
other non- certified applications.
When using in a vehicle with air bags, refer to the vehicle
owner’s manual for child restraint installation instructions and
precautions.
DO NOT place child restraint rear-facing in the front
seat of a vehicle with a passenger air bag. DEATH
or SERIOUS INJURY can occur. See your vehicle
owner’s manual for child restraint installation
instructions. The back seat is the safest place for
children 13 and under.
3
WARNING DEATH OR
SERIOUS INJURY can occur!
IMPORTANT NOTES
Verify that the child restraint is secure and the harness is
properly adjusted around the child each time the child restraint
is used.
Adjust the harness to fit the clothes the child is wearing. Remove
bulky coats and or jackets before putting the child in the child
restraint.
Cover the child restraint when the vehicle is parked in direct
sunlight. Parts of the child restraint could become hot enough to
burn a child.
Store the child restraint in a safe place when it is not being used.
Avoid placing heavy objects on top of the child restraint.
Do not leave children alone in a vehicle, even for a short time.
Do not, except as described in this booklet, attempt to
disassemble any part of the child restraint or change the way its
harness or the vehicle’s seat belts are used.
Do not leave loose objects, e.g. books, bags, etc., in the back of a
vehicle. In the event of a sudden stop, loose objects will keep
moving potentially causing serious injuries.
Do not leave folding vehicle seats unlatched. In event of a
sudden stop, a loose seat back could cause the child restraint
not to perform as intended.

SAFETY
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children
should ride in a Rear-Facing Car Seat until they reach the highest
weight or height allowed by their car seat manufacturer.
Rear-Facing
Use rear-facing only with children:
who weigh between 5 39.6 lbs (2.3 18 kg)
and
the top of the child’s head is at least 1 in.
(2.5 cm) below the top of the child restraint shell
(Fig. A) and
the harness straps are at or slightly below the child’s shoulders.
If the child cannot be secured within these requirements because
the child exceeds height or weight requirements, review the
forward-facing guidelines on page 10.
IMPORTANT: See Adjusting the Harness Height on page 25.
Forward-Facing
Use forward-facing only with children:
who weigh between 22.2 39.6 lbs (10.1 18 kg) and
who are 41 in. (104 cm) or less in height and the top of the
child’s ears are below the top of the child restraint
and
the harness straps are at or above the child’s shoulders (Fig. B).

Vehicle Safety Belts
NOTE: The information in this
section only applies to
installation with vehicle safety
belts.
IMPORTANT: Vehicle seats and
safety belts differ from vehicle
to vehicle. Refer to your vehicle
owner’s manual for specific
information about vehicle safety
belts and their use with child
restraints. Some vehicles have
no seating positions which are
compatible with this child
restraint or any other child
restraint. If in doubt, contact the
vehicle manufacturer for
assistance.
This child restraint can fit
securely in most vehicles using
existing vehicle belts. However,
some vehicle designs prevent a
secure fit of the child restraint.
The vehicle owner’s manual will
have information on the types of
vehicle belts. If your belt type is
listed on this page, select
another seating position or use
Lower Anchors and Tethers for
Children (LATCH).
WARNING! The following
types of vehicle belts are not
compatible with this child
restraint:
Front vehicle belts with top or
bottom anchorage points in the
door. (Fig. A & B)
Motor-driven, automatic vehicle
belts. (Fig. B)
Lap-shoulder belts that have
separate retractors for the
shoulder section and the lap
section in which the lap section
retractor does not lock.
Non-locking, two-point
Emergency Locking Retractor
(ELR) vehicle belts without the
use of a beltshortening clip.
Lap-shoulder ELR vehicle belts
without the use of a locking clip.
NOTE: Reference your vehicle
owner’s manual to determine
the kind of retractors used in
your vehicle and how to operate
them.
