Installing the Base Using Vehicle Belt
You must carefully follow the instructions provided by your vehicle
manufacturer, in addition to the information in this manual.
If a front passenger seat is used, slide the
vehicle seat rearward as far as possible from
the dashboard. If a rear seat is used, make sure
the seat in front of it is moved forward enough
and is upright enough to allow room for the
infant restraint.
1. Make sure vehicle is on level ground in order
to get the correct recline position .
2. Place the base in a rear-facing position on a
forward-facing vehicle seat.
3. When using the base to install the
infant restraint, the lock-off is ALWAYS
used to secure both belts of the
lap or lap/shoulder belt.
Open the lock-off and route the
vehicle belt through the vehicle belt path and
over the lock-off . Buckle the vehicle belt.
4. Make sure the buckle tongue goes into the
correct buckle
. The seat belt should
not be twisted or turned.
