Safety 1st 4358-5721 manual Using the Locking Clip

D-5 Using the Locking Clip

A locking clip will not fix all types of vehicle seat belt problems. Review section D-4 and your vehicle’s owner manual for vehicle seat belt use with child restraints. The locking clip is located on the back of the child restraint.

The following directions describe installing the child restraint rear-facing. Same steps apply for forward-facing, except install the restraint forward-facing and thread the vehicle belt in the forward-facing belt path.

Do not use both the LATCH belt and vehicle belt at the same time.

1. Place Child Restraint in

Vehicle Rear-Facing

With child restraint in the

most reclined position, place

child restraint in the back

seat.

Check for proper recline.

NOTE: Store top anchorage

hook (tether) on the base. See section E-1.

For children between 5-22 lbs (2.3-10 kg), the bottom level to ground line MUST be level to the ground.

A	You may need to place a
	large rolled towel(s) or foam
	pool noodle(s) (A) under the
	front of the child restraint
	to help achieve the correct
	recline. Check often to be
	sure padding is still in place
	and the vehicle belt is tight.

	Thread the vehicle lap/
	shoulder belt combination
	through the rear-facing belt
	slot.
