Installing Rear-Facing Car Seat With UAS
WARNING — DEATH or
SERIOUS INJURY can occur
• Only use the car seat UAS system in vehicle seating locations designated
by the vehicle manufacturer for use with UAS and that have an anchor
spacing of 280 mm (11 in.).
• Rear-Facing UAS Push-on Connectors must be secured to the vehicle
UAS lower anchors only. Connection to other vehicle anchors or vehicle
components could result in the anchor tearing free in a crash.
• Never attach more than one push-on connector to a vehicle lower anchor
unless recommended by the vehicle owner’s manual for that vehicle.
• Rear-Facing UAS belt must be routed through Rear-Facing Belt Path.
Step 1
If Rear-Facing Base is not securely attached
to the bottom of the seat, install it now, see
“Installing/Removing Rear-Facing Base” on
p a g e 7 7.
• Anti-Rebound Bar must also be securely
attached to the seat, see “Installing/
Removing Anti-Rebound Bar” on page 78.
Step 2
Select a Forward-Facing vehicle seating
location which has UAS.
Locate the UAS lower anchors (as explained
in the “Vehicle Universal Anchorage System
(UAS)” on page 15 in this manual and in your
vehicle owner’s manual. See Figure 16.
Step 3
If the vehicle seat back is adjustable, make
sure the seat back is locked in a more upright
position. Refer to vehicle owner’s manual for
recommended seat back angle. DO NOT
install or use this car seat while the vehicle
seat back is excessively reclined, as shown in
Figure 17.

Installing Seat Cushion” on page 81.
Remove Rear-Facing UAS belt from its storage
location under the Seat Cushion, see “Rear-
Facing UAS Storage” on page 85.
Lengthen each side of Rear-Facing UAS belt
by pressing adjuster release button while
pulling belt to extend the length of lower
anchor belt as shown in Figure 18.
Step 5
Route the Rear-Facing UAS Belt through the
Rear-Facing Belt Path, as shown in Figure 19.

seat location selected with Rear-Facing Belt
Path toward vehicle seat back and centered
between the vehicle lower anchors as shown
in Figure 21.
Step 8
Secure Rear-Facing UAS Push-on Connectors
to the vehicle UAS lower anchors. For each
connector:
• Position red release button of Rear-
Facing UAS Push-On Connector facing
away from car seat.
• Align UAS Connector with the vehicle
UAS anchor and press the UAS
Connector against the UAS anchor until

Ground Level must be within the recline
range designated for the age of the child.
If an acceptable recline level cannot be
achieved using the vehicle seat back
adjustment, if vehicle owner’s manual allows
multiple positions, it may be necessary to
place a rolled towel or pool noodle under
the foot end of the car seat to achieve an
acceptable recline level.
Verify Ground Level is within the recline
range designated for the age of the child as
shown in Figure 25. If not, go back to Step 7
adjust the recline level and try installing
again, or move the seat to a different vehicle
seating position.
Step 12
Install Seat Cushion, see “Removing/Installing
Seat Cushion” on page 81.

UAS Belt.
Step 10
Check for secure installation. Gripping car
seat at top of armrests, pull car seat front
to back and left to right to check for secure
installation as shown in Figure 24. UAS belt
MUST stay tight and child restraint should not
move more than 2.5 cm (1”) in any direction.

Installing Rear-Facing Car Seat With Vehicle Belt
WARNING — DEATH or
SERIOUS INJURY can occur
• Not all vehicle belts are safe for use with this car seat. Read the vehicle
belt requirements section in this manual and your vehicle owner’s manual.
• Vehicle Belt must be routed through Rear-Facing Belt Path when car seat is
installed Rear-Facing.
Step 1
If Rear-Facing Base is not securely attached
to the bottom of the seat, install it now, see
“Installing/Removing Rear-Facing Base” on
p a g e 7 7.
• Anti-Rebound Bar must also be securely
attached to the seat, see “Installing/
Removing Anti-Rebound Bar” on page 78.
Step 2

Step 8
Choose the option that matches the type of
installation you are doing:
Option 1 — Installing with lap/shoulder
belt using a Rear-Facing Lock-off:
Tighten vehicle belt to secure the car seat
• Press down in center of car seat to
depress the vehicle cushion and pull free
the shoulder portion of lap/shoulder belt
to tighten as shown in Figure 32.
• While holding the vehicle belt tight,
close Rear-Facing Belt Lock-off as shown
in Figure 33.
IMPORTANT: If Lock-off will not close easily,
it may be necessary to loosen the belt slightly
in order to properly position the belt under
the Belt Tabs and close the Lock-off.
Check that the entire lap/shoulder belt (both
the lap and shoulder portions of the belt) is
through the Rear-Facing Belt Lock-off being
used and under all four Belt Tabs as shown in
Figure 34. Close-up of Belt Tabs is shown in
Figure 34a.

Step 6
If installing with a lap/shoulder belt, open
one (1) Rear-Facing Belt Lock-off as shown
in Figure 30. You may use whichever Lock-off
provides the most secure installation.
NOTE: If your vehicle’s belt system is
equipped with an ELR/ALR switchable
retractor (SLR), or if you are installing with
a lap belt, you may skip Step 6, and install
your car seat WITHOUT using a Rear-Facing
Belt Lock-off. Refer to the Child Restraint
section of your vehicle manual to understand
what type of belt system your vehicle is
equipped with.
Step 7
Route vehicle belt through the Rear-Facing
Belt Path and under all four Belt Tabs, shown
in Figure 31a, and buckle vehicle belt, as
shown in Figure 31.
Check that Crotch Strap is not under the
vehicle belt as shown in Figure 31b.
