Lap-Shoulder Belt – Long Route

sFigure A illustrates a typical Long Route lap-shoulder

belt installation.

1The recline bar must be used at all times with this child seat. Insert the recline bar into

 

the holes on the rear of the child seat. Use a

 

rubber mallet to tap the recline bar ends into

 

the holes. See page 28 for details.

Versa-Tether®from the pouch, loosen and place it up and over

 

the child seat back.
