1.Place car seat firmly against the back of a forward-facing vehicle seat equipped with a lap/shoulder belt only.

2.If you want to use tether to hold seat in place, secure it now. See Section 8.1 Using the Tether, page 31.

3.Place child in car seat with child’s back flat against back of car seat.

4. Position lap/shoulder belt as shown ™. Fasten buckle and pull up on the shoulder belt to tighten.

5. If belt lays across child’s neck, head or face, redirect belt across chest using the shoulder belt positioner. Thread vehicle shoulder belt through one of the three positioners exactly as shown š.

Adjust positioner as high as possible without shoulder belt touching child’s neck.

6.Check that shoulder belt is properly positioned over shoulder and snug against child. A snug strap should not allow any slack. It lies in a relatively straight line without sagging. It does not press on the child’s flesh or push the child’s

body into an unnatural position.
