| Evaluation of Labels |
There is no complete illustration of a properly restrained child next to the sizing information on the labels. No supplemental sizing information is given on the labels. Guidance for selecting the correct harness slot is not given. The belt routing path is not completely labeled. Labels do not explain the use of LATCH attachments. Some labels were peeling when the seat was removed from its packaging. |
| Evaluation of Instructions |
When the seat was removed from its packaging, the manual was found attached to the seat, but it was in a hard-to-find location. The manual storage cannot be accessed while the restraint is installed in this mode, and the storage location may not be obvious. No full picture exists of a properly restrained child next to sizing information in the owner's manual. Supplemental sizing information is given in text only in the manual. The tether is not labeled in the illustrations depicting acceptable modes of installation. The user may need to read text in the manual to route the seat belt or the lower attachments or to use the tether. |
| Securing the Child |
There is a head hugger or body pillow blocking the harness slots in the shell from being easily visible. The harness must be rethreaded to adjust height for the child's growth as well as for reassembly after cleaning. While disassembling for cleaning, mandatory pieces may become loose and could be misplaced. There are no illustrations on the child restraint showing how to convert this restraint to this mode of use. The harness must be reinstalled into the restraint to convert to this mode of use from booster mode. |
| Installation Features |
The restraint is equipped with hook-style LATCH attachments which may require twisting to remove from the lower anchors in the vehicle. The LATCH/tether storage areas are not clearly labeled. |
