What Seating Location Should I Use?
Review section 2-A to see all of the features of this infant car seat.
The best seating location for this infant car seat is one that:
• Is recommended by your vehicle owner’s manual, and
• Results in a secure installation of this car seat.
Some vehicles have specific requirements for where the car seat can be
installed, so be sure to check your vehicle owner’s manual for available
seating positions, if any. For example, sometimes the center rear seat has a
lap belt only vehicle seat belt, which cannot be used when this car seat is in
Booster mode.
Review section 9-C, 9-D of this manual AND your vehicle owner’s manual.
NEVER place this child restraint rear-facing in a vehicle
seating location that has an active front air bag.
In the event there is no back seat, review your vehicle owner’s
manual to see how to use your infant child restraint.

Which Installation Method Should I Use?
This car seat can be installed in your vehicle using either the vehicle seat
belt OR the LATCH system. Both are equally safe to use. DO NOT USE BOTH
AT THE SAME TIME.
Vehicle Seat Belt: Review section 9 and your vehicle owner’s manual to
learn how to install your car seat with the vehicle seat belts.
LATCH: The LATCH system allows you to securely attach your safety seat
in your car without using the vehicle seat belt and possibly to get a better
fit. All 2003 and newer model year vehicles are required to have a LATCH
system, although some manufacturers began including LATCH earlier. Some
vehicle owner manuals use the term ISOFIX to identify the LATCH system.
According to crash statistics, the safest
place for your child in any vehicle is the
back seat. The center of the back seat can
be the safest during a possible side impact.

LATCH consists of lower anchors and top tether anchors, which are built-
in to your vehicle, and connecting hooks that are built-in to your car seat.
Lower anchors are used INSTEAD of the vehicle’s seat belt to secure the
child seat to the vehicle. Top tethers are used IN ADDITION to the lower
anchors OR the vehicle’s seat belt to secure a forward-facing car seat to
the vehicle.
Review your vehicle’s owner manual for exact location and use.
