Lap-Shoulder Belt Installation

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

• When not in use, always store LATCH connectors in storage slots. See page 30.

1￿ Fully recline the child seat then place it rear- ARear-Facingfacing on the vehicle seat.

•See Recline Adjustment on page 30.

2￿	Lift the child seat cover and open the rear-
	facing lock-off farthest from where the
	vehicle belt will be buckled (Fig. B).
3￿	Pull the vehicle belt out then pass it through
	the first rear-facing belt slot (Fig. C).	B
•	Vehicle belt can be routed over or under cover.

4￿ Route the vehicle belt across child seat then through the second rear-facing belt slot.

IMPORTANT: The vehicle belt must rest behind the child seat buckle.

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

6￿ Push the child seat firmly into the vehicle C seat while removing slack first from the lap

portion of the vehicle belt, then the shoulder portion (Fig. E). 7￿ Position both sections of the vehicle belt through the lock-off, then close the lock-off arm and replace the child seat cover (Fig. F).

• Lock-off is properly closed when a positive click is heard.

8￿ Verify that the vehicle belt is tight and that the child seat is secure.

•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. G).

•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.

•Rear-facing installation can be improved by the use of the Versa-Tether®see pages 25 – 28.

•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

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.

Removal

•If connected, disconnect the Versa-Tether®from the tether anchor.

•Press the red release button on the vehicle belt buckle and pull the vehicle buckle from the child seat belt path.

•	To prevent breakage, never extend the lock-off arm beyond its normal
	open position and always keep the lock-off closed when not in use.
•	If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic locking retractor (ALR),
	use of lock-offs is not required as long as the ALR is locked. Check your
	vehicle owner’s manual to determine what type of retractor your vehicle
	has, and how to lock the retractor.
