Recline Adjustment

Pull the recline handle then slide the child seat shell into the desired position. (Fig. B) Release the recline handle and verify the child seat has locked into position.

NOTE: If installed it will be necessary to loosen

the tether, vehicle seat belt, and/or LATCH strap b before adjusting the recline position. The tether,

vehicle seat belt, and/or LATCH strap must be properly re-tightened after adjusting the recline position.

WARNING! Child seat must be in the full upright position when installed in forward- facing mode with children over 33 lbs (15.1 kg).

Install child seat into vehicle using instruction through step 5 on pages 16-21 for rear-facing, or pages 22-27 for forward-facing.

2Hold the lap and shoulders belts together just behind the latch plate and unbuckle the vehicle belt without allowing the belt to slip (Fig. A).

3While holding the belts and latch plate, thread the locking clip onto the seat belt (Fig. B) and slide it into place near the latch plate (Fig. C).

4Buckle the seat belt with the locking clip in place.

5Verify that the seat belt is tight and the child seat is secure.

The child seat is secure when it cannot be moved front-to-back or side-to-side more than 1 inch (2.5 cm.) at the belt path. If the child seat is not secure, repeat the installation process or use an alternate seating location.

IMPORTANT: Remove the locking clip from the vehicle seat belt when not used with this child seat, or the vehicle seat belt will not properly restrain a passenger.
