Aircraft Use

CareandMaintenance

Your Expressway is certified for use on an aircraft, using traditional seat belt routing. Most airlines in the U.S. and Canada will allow you to use a child seat if it is labeled for use on aircraft and fits properly in the aircraft seats. Prior to travel, contact your airline about their specific policy concerning the use of child seats.

• Install your Expressway in an

aircraft according to the

section "Installation: Lap Belt

Only". (See pages 16 - 17)

• Refer to sections on harness height and securing your child before

using the child seat in an aircraft.

• Use your Expressway only on aircraft seats which are facing forward.

3 Remove comfort pads, shoulder pads and d-rings from the harness.

4 To remove the belly pad, you must remove the buckle:

a Fully recline the seat.

b Locate the metal plate beneath the seat which secures the buckle.

c Twist the strap to thread the metal plate through the shell and cover, as shown in Figure B.

5 Careful not to damage the energy absorbing foam, gently pull the cover off from the top of the seat, easing the chest clip and harness straps through their slots. (See Figure C)

• Install the child seat in a window seat to avoid blocking access to the aisle.

• If the aircraft lap belt is too short, ask the flight attendant for a belt extender.

• The illustration above shows the Expressway correctly installed in a

window seat of an aircraft.

Removing the Cover

1Completely loosen the harness by pushing in the harness release but- ton as you pull the shoulder straps forward as far as possible.

2Unhook the harness straps from the yoke and the HUGS straps from the c-clips. Pull them through to the front of the seat.(See Figure A)

To re-fit the cover, simply reverse the instructions for removing the cover. Make sure that the shoulder straps are threaded through the chest clips and that there are no twists in the harness.
