This base and compatible car seat can
only be used Rear-Facing.
Your child’s height, weight, and age determine how
the car seat should be placed in the vehicle.
Children vary widely in body size, shape, and
temperament—please consult your doctor
before switching between any types or
modes of a car seat within the limits and
fit requirements of the car seat.
State Laws
Please be certain to follow your state’s laws
regarding car seat use.
American Academy of Pediatrics
Recommendations
Infants and Toddlers
Should ride in a rear-facing car seat as long as
possible, until they reach the highest weight or
height allowed by their seat.
Rear-Facing Use Requirements

34
Toddlers and Preschoolers
Once they are facing forward, children should use a
forward-facing car seat with a harness for as long
as possible, until they reach the height and weight
limits for their seats.
School-Aged Children
Once they have outgrown their forward-facing car
seat, children should use a belt-positioning booster
seat until the vehicle’s lap and shoulder seat belt
fits properly. This is often when they have reached
at least 4 feet 9 inches in height and are 8 to 12
years old.
Older Children
All children younger than 13 years should be
restrained in the rear seats of vehicles for optimal
protection.
REAR-FACING
You must follow the weight
and height ranges called out
in the instruction manual that
came with your compatible
car seat.
If your child does not meet the criteria in the car
seat instruction manual, do not use this base or
the car seat.

Adjusting Base
The base has multiple
positions to help achieve the
correct recline angle.
• The adjustment handle is
at the back of the base.
• Squeeze the adjustment
handle.
• Lift the back of base up.
• Then release the handle so
the base foot locks into a
position.
• The horizontal section of
the angle indicator will turn
completely green when
correct. No red should be
showing.

Base Recline Angle Position
Load Leg
The load leg is stored under
the base. This is an optional
feature.
The base install is equally safe
with or without the use of the
load leg.
In a crash, load legs reduce
downward rotation, limit
rebound, provide additional
stability, and energy absorption.
• Fold the load leg out.
• Squeeze the buttons on the
load leg and pull it down until
it meets the vehicle floor.
• Release the buttons.
• Lift the front of the base while
holding the load leg in place
to lock it into position.
• It must be perpendicular to
the vehicle floor.
Do not use the load leg on top of vehicle
storage compartments. Review your vehicle
owner’s manual. Do not use the load leg if it
does not reach the floor of your vehicle. When
not in use, the load leg must be stored under
the base.

Your vehicle’s features may be considerably

The lower anchors of LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers
for CHildren) is a universal system for installing car seats
without using vehicle seat belts. The LATCH: lower anchor
belt can only be used in vehicles that have the LATCH:
lower anchor bars installed in designated seating posi-
tions. Most vehicles manufactured after September 2002
are equipped with LATCH: lower anchor bars. Review your
vehicle owner’s manual to see which seating positions
may be equipped with LATCH: lower anchor bars.
Do not use both the lower anchor belt and
vehicle belt at the same time. When used
correctly the LATCH: lower anchor belt or the
vehicle belts are equally safe.

You Must Review
Your Vehicle
Owner’s Manual
Your vehicle owner’s
manual will let you know
which vehicle belts and
seating positions car
seats can be installed in.
Check How This Car
Seat Will Be Locked
Into Place
The vehicle belt must
not loosen after tighten-
ing. There needs to be a
way to lock the vehicle
belt.
The ways to lock a vehicle belt are:
• By using this base’s Lockoff, see step 3; OR
• By using the seat belt’s retractor, see step 4;
OR
• By using the seat belt’s latch plate, see step 5.

Check Retractor
Retractors pull seat belts
into stored positions and
lock the belt to hold
passengers in place.
Lockoff
When used correctly,
this base’s Lockoff will
lock the vehicle belt.
Please go to the vehicle belt with base installation
section of the manual to see how to properly use
this feature.
Vehicle Belt with Base Install | Page 27
See the next page for some common types of
vehicle belt retractors that will work with this
car seat.
If you will be installing without the base—a car seat only
install following the instruction manual that came with
your car seat—you must lock the vehicle belt using the
retractor or the latch plate; continue to step 4.
