Forward-Facing Installation
After deciding whether to use your Vehicle Belts or LATCH, be sure to read the warnings below as they pertain to both systems.
You may need to remove the base for narrow vehicle seats or airline use. See “Removing Base” in Belt- Positioning Booster section.
NOTE: To install the child restraint without the base, use either the recline mode or upright mode. For upright mode, rotate recline stand down and out, then push up to lock.
When LATCH is not being used, fasten belt hooks together behind the child restraint as shown.
!WARNING:
Loose LATCH hooks can result in serious injury or death.
