Lap-Shoulder Belt Installation

Installation: Rear-facing

•Figure A illustrates a typical rear-facing, lap- shoulder belt installation.

•When not in use, always store the LATCH connectors in the storage slots.

See page 34.

•See vehicle owner’s manual to determine what type of seat belt system your vehicle has, and how to lock it (also see pg 10-13).

IMPORTANT: This child seat is shipped with the buckle in position 1 (Fig. B). Use buckle position 1 or 2 that is closest to but not underneath your child. Do not use buckle position 3 in rear-facing mode. See page 38 for Adjusting Harness Buckle Position.

1 Recline the child seat then place it rear-facing

on the vehicle seat. This child seat must be in

the recline position when installed rear-facing.

See Recline Adjustment on page 34.

•Ensure the vehicle seat belt system is locked.

•If your vehicle is not equipped with a lockable seat belt system, use of a locking clip may be required. See page 35 for locking clip

instructions

6Verify that the vehicle belt is tight, locked and that the child seat is secure.

•The child seat is secure when it cannot be moved more than one inch (2.5 cm) front-to- back or side-to-side at the belt path.

•When properly installed in the rear-facing position, the back angle of the child seat should be 30º – 45º from vertical (not to exceed 45º) when the car is parked on a level surface (Fig. F).

•If necessary, the proper recline angle can be achieved by placing a rolled towel or pool noodle in the crease of the vehicle seat to level the child seat’s base.

2	Pull the vehicle belt out then pass it through
	the first rear-facing belt slot (Fig. C).
3	Route the vehicle belt across the child
	seat and then through the second rear-
	facing belt slot.

IMPORTANT:

•The vehicle belt must rest IN FRONT OF the child seat buckle when using buckle slots 1 or 2 (Fig. B).

•Vehicle belt can be routed over or under the cover.

4Verify that the vehicle belt is not twisted and then buckle (Fig. D).

5Push the child seat firmly into the vehicle seat while removing slack first from the lap portion of the vehicle belt, then the shoulder portion (Fig. E).

WARNING! Do not raise the child seat off the front edge of the vehicle seat. This could cause your child seat not to perform as intended.

•Rear-facing installation can be improved by using the Versa-Tether see pages 29 - 32.
