Child Restraint Safety Information

•  This restraint meets all applicable U.S. Federal Motor  

Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.

•  This restraint is certified for use in motor vehicles and 

aircraft.

•  Register this restraint with the manufacturer.

Child restraints can be recalled for various reasons.  To be 

reached directly in the event of a recall, you must register 

your restraint with the manufacturer.  Fill out the included 

product registration card and mail it.  You can register 

online at us.diono.com.  You can also register by sending

PO BOX 77129

For recall information, call the U.S. Government’s Vehicle 

Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or

WARNING:

 

DO NOT place a child 

restraint in the front seat of a 

vehicle with a passenger air bag 

unless 

the air bag is turned off.

  

DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can 

occur.  The back seat is the safest.

IMPORTANT:

•  Before each use, always confirm restraint is securely 

installed and harness is properly adjusted around the child.  

Remember: The addition or removal of clothing (such as a 

sweater or coat) will change the fit of the harness.  

•  Always confirm before each use that restraint is securely 

locked in its unfolded position.

•  If the vehicle seat has an adjustable seat back angle, make 

sure seat back is securely locked and in its most upright 

position. An incorrect seat back angle or unsecured seat 

back will impair the restraint installation and its ability to 

protect the child occupant.
