Graco Milestone, Owner'S Manual

10

Read this Owner’s Manual completely 

BEFORE first use of your car seat!
Keep this Owner’s Manual always with the 

car seat. Provisions are made on the rear 

of the seat shell. Plan to spend some time 

getting to know your car seat-time well 

spent when you consider that your baby’s 

safety depends on it. Pay special attention to 

the warnings, printed in red.
! WARNINGS to parents and other users. 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.

Safety Requirements

European Safety Standards specify the construction 

and performance of your car seat as well as its 

components, requirements for fitting and use, 

instructions and markings. Your car seat has been 

approved to European Standard ECE R44.04
An approval number is attached to the rear of the 

seat and must not be removed.

NOTICE

The seat is a “Universal” child restraint. It is 

approved to Regulation No. 44.04 series of 

amendments, for general use in vehicles and it will 

fit most, but not all, car seats.
Only suitable if the approved vehicles are fitted 

with 3 point static/with retractor safety belts, 

approved to UN/ECE Regulation No. 16 or other 

equivalent standards.

Important safety points

Do not use your car seat rear-facing 

on any passenger seat where an 

active frontal airbag is fitted.

Do take care so that the rigid items and plastic 

parts of the car seat must be so located and 

installed so that it is not liable to become trapped 

by a moveable seat or in a door of the vehicle.
DO NOT ever take a baby out of the car seat for 

any reason while vehicle is in motion. If your 

baby needs attention, find a safe place and pull 

off the road.
Do store your car seat in a safe place when not 

being used. Avoid putting heavy things on top of it.
Do always check the security of your car seat before 

each journey.
Do regularly check all child restraints for wear 

and tear.
Do not leave children unattended in your car, even 

for the shortest time.
Do not leave luggage and other objects unsecured 

in the car. If the car has to stop suddenly, these 

objects will continue moving and can cause serious 

injuries. The larger the object, the greater the risk.
Do not make unauthorized alterations or additions 

to any part of the seat or car seat belt.
Do not use accessories or parts supplied by other 

manufacturers. The function of the car seat could 

be altered, resulting in serious injury or death.
After an accident, the car seat must be replaced.  

You may not see any damage, but after a serious 

crash a car seat can be too weak to protect again.
Please contact child restraint manufacturer in the 

event of any questions.
Do not use load bearing points other than 

those specified by restraint manufacturer in the 

instructions or on the restraint body.

! IT IS MOST IMPORTANT

 that the child restraint 

is correctly installed with the vehicle belt 

correctly routed according to the manufacturer’s 

instructions. 
Always ensure the vehicle belt and harness straps 

are not twisted. 

! 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 can be injured in a vehicle even if you are 

not in a crash. Sudden braking and sharp turns can 

injure your child if the child restraint is not properly 

installed or if your child is not properly secured in 

the child restraint. 

! 

Your child’s safety depends on you installing and 

using this child restraint correctly. 

! 

Failure to follow these instructions and child 

restraint’s labels can result in child striking the 

vehicle’s interior during a sudden stop or crash.

!

 No car seat can guarantee protection from injury 

in every situation, but proper use helps reduce the 

risk of serious injury or death.  

! 

Even if using this child restraint seems easy 

to figure out on your own, it is very important 

to 

READ, UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW THE 

OWNER’S MANUAL.
