Evenflo Big Kid Manual?

Does anyone know where I can find an owners manual for the Evenflo Big Kid? We're taking a little girl to school three days a week (We live a block away so we walk most days, but I drive if it's too cold or rainy.) Her mom gave me a booster for her and (SHOCKING!) it has a date of Jan 2010 so I'm not worried about that at all.
I know Evenflo has weird rules about air bags. I drive a 2011 Equinox with side impact airbags which I'm assuming doesn't jive with that seat?
I would just like to have a copy of the manual so I can read it over (and have it for future reference too).

Thanks!

For newer than 2002 cars you have to go by your cars manual for sid air bags. It also say to never put anythingbetween the seat ans where the airbag would be.

Re: Evenflo Big Kid/Chevy Equinox

Just wanted to update:

The Big Kid manual says for model year 2002 and newer "refer to you vehicle owner's manual before placing this restraint in a seating position equipped with a side air bag. DO NOT place any objects between the restraint and the side air bag, as an expanding air bag may cause the items to strike your child."

My vehicle manual stated general things about not adding things to the seat, not placing a restraint in the front, etc. Nothing specific about car seats and the side air bags.

I called Chevy this morning for some clarification. The gentleman told me that as long as I haven't modified the actual seat in any way ( :rolleyes: ) and I haven't gotten any warning messages about airbags, that it's fine in that seating position.
Basically, they just don't want you adding things to the seat or the restraint that could become a hazard in a crash. I was assuming as much, but just wanted to hear what they had to say about the whole thing.
