LATCH: Lower Anchor/UAS Use
17
Your vehicle’s features may be considerably different
than those pictured here.
The lower anchors of LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren) or UAS (Universal Anchorage System) is a universal
system for installing child restraints without using vehicle seat
belts.
The lower anchor/UAS can ONLY be used in vehicles that have the
lower anchor/UAS bars installed in designated seating positions.
Most vehicles manufactured after September 2002 are equipped
with lower anchor/UAS bars.
Check your vehicle owner’s manual to see which seating positions
may be equipped with LATCH: lower anchor/UAS bars.
WARNINGS
Do not use both the lower anchor/UAS belt and vehicle belt at
the same time.
When used correctly the lower anchor/UAS belt or vehicle
belts are equally safe.

To Store Lower Anchor/
UAS Belt:
When using vehicle belts,
using the booster seat mode,
or when the car seat is not
installed in a vehicle, the
lower anchor/UAS belt must be
properly stored in its storage
location.
Attach the connectors to the bars
in the openings in the shell as
shown.
Gently tighten to remove slack.

Vehicle Belts
You MUST Review Your
Vehicle Owner’s Manual
Your vehicle owner’s manual will let
you know which vehicle belts and
seating positions child restraints
can be installed in.
Determine How the Child
Restraint Will Be Locked
Into Place
The vehicle belt must not loosen after
tightening. This means there needs to
be a way to lock the vehicle belt.
The ways this can be done are:
The AutoLock
When used correctly, this car seat’s
AutoLock will lock the vehicle belt.
Please go to the correct vehicle belt
installation section of the manual to
see how to properly use this feature.
Rear-Facing Vehicle Belt Install: page 26
Forward-Facing Vehicle Belt Install + Tether: page 40
If you do not use this feature, you must lock the vehicle belt
using the retractor or the latch plate; continue to step 4.
• By using this car seat’s built-in AutoLock (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).
Your vehicle’s features may be considerably different
than those pictured here.
If lower/UAS anchors are not an option or if your child weighs more
than 15.9 kg (35 lb) for Rear-Facing or 18 kg (40 lb) for Forward-
Facing, you must use the vehicle seat belt system to install the
child restraint.
Not all vehicle belts and seating positions will work with child
restraints.
Please go through the following steps to understand how to
lock a child restraint in Rear-Facing or Forward-Facing mode
with a vehicle belt.

4Check the Retractor
Retractors pull seat belts into stored
positions and lock the belt to hold
passengers in place.
See the next page for some common
types of vehicle belt retractors that will
work with this child restraint.

Automatic Locking Retractor
Emergency Locking Retractor
This retractor always locks.
It will automatically lock after slowly pulling the seat belt out at
least halfway and letting the belt go back into the retractor an
inch or two.
If the retractor does not lock, it is most likely an Emergency
Locking Retractor. These retractors only lock during a sudden
stop or collision.
You will need to determine if your seat belt’s latch plate can lock
the belt. See Step 5, “Check the Latch Plates”.
See Step 5, “Check
the Latch Plates.”
Locking Latch Plate

Inflatable Seat Belts
Never Use With This Child Restraint
Switchable Retractor
(most vehicles have this type)
This retractor can be switched to a locking mode.
You must have the retractor in the locking mode to use the seat
belt with this child restraint.
Switching to locking mode: Slowly pull the shoulder belt all the
way out, then let it go back in an inch or two.
As it goes back in, you will most likely hear a ratcheting sound.
Gently pull the belt to see if it has locked. You will not be able to pull
any more belt out if the lock has engaged.
Types of Retractors 5Check the Latch Plates
Latch plates are the part of
the seat belt that goes into the
buckle.
To see if the latch plate locks:
Buckle the vehicle belt.
Then firmly tug the lap portion of the
seat belt while pulling it up.
If the vehicle belt does not slide
through the latch plate, it’s locked.
If the latch plate slides up and down
the vehicle belt, it is a sliding latch
plate.
Sliding latch plates easily slip between
the lap and shoulder portions of the
belt.
If you have an Emergency Locking
Retractor with a Sliding Latch Plate,
you must use the car seat’s
AutoLock feature.

2423 Tether Use
Your vehicle’s features may be considerably different
than those pictured here.
You must always attach, adjust, and secure the top anchorage
(tether) strap when installing the child restraint forward-facing
with internal harness. Tethers improve the installation and stability
of child restraints and reduce the risk of injury.
Attach the tether hook to the tether anchor designated by your
vehicle manufacturer for that seating position. Check your vehicle
owner’s manual for more information.
If the seating position does not have a tether anchor, use a different
seating position or see your dealer or a qualified mechanic and
have one installed.
WARNINGS
Using this child restraint without the tether strap anchored as
recommended by the manufacturer would be a misuse of the
child restraint and, in a sudden stop or crash, could result in
serious injury or death.
Do not fasten multiple tether hooks on the same tether anchor
in the vehicle.
For Forward-Facing Mode Only
Tether Anchors
Adjusting Tether Strap
To tighten: After the child
restraint is locked into place
with the lower anchor/UAS belt
or vehicle belt, push down on
child restraint and gently pull
on free end of tether strap.
To loosen: Lift up on tether
adjuster and push it towards
tether hook.
Pull free end of
belt to tighten
Lift adjuster up
to loosen
Storing Tether Strap
When installing rear-facing,
using the booster seat mode,
or when the car seat is not
installed in a vehicle, attach
the tether hook to its storage
attachment on back of car seat
as shown.
Gently tighten to remove slack.

WARNINGS
Never install a rear-facing child restraint in the front seat
of a vehicle equipped with an active frontal airbag.
Do not use the tether for rear-facing mode. Secure tether
strap to its storage location.
Do not use the lower/UAS anchors of the child restraint
anchorage system (LATCH system/UAS) to attach this
child restraint when restraining a child weighing more
than 15.9 kg (35 lbs). The vehicle belt must be used for
installation if your child weighs more than 15.9 kg (35 lb).
Do not use the lower anchor/UAS belt along with the vehicle lap or lap/
shoulder belt.
Check the vehicle belt or the lower anchor/UAS belt before each use.
Use only if the belt can be tightened properly and locked securely in
place.
Do not fasten multiple lower anchor/UAS connectors on the same
lower/UAS anchor bar in the vehicle.
This child restraint MUST always face the rear of the vehicle until the
child is at least 1 year old and weighs 10 kg (22 lb).
Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious injury or death.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children remain rear-
facing until they are at least 2 years old. Please talk to your doctor about the
best option for your child.
Place Car Seat Rear-
Facing in Back Seat
Check the Rear-Facing
Recline Angle Indicator
The angle indicator ball must
be in the blue zone when
used Rear-Facing.
Recline the car seat to
achieve the proper angle,
see step 3.
Before you begin installing the seat
into your vehicle, did you check:
Your child’s weight and height?
2.3-18 kg (5-40 lb) and
102 cm (40 in.) or less in height
Your child’s fit? See page 8.

It may be easier to lift up
the pad if you remove the
cupholders. See page 4.
You will see the lower
anchor/UAS belt when you
pull back the pad.
Do not remove this belt
from its storage location.
The vehicle belt will be
routed over top of it.
Route the Vehicle Belt
Thread the vehicle belt
into the Rear-Facing
Belt Path opening.
Pull it across the seat, in front
of the buckle, and over top of
the lower anchor/UAS belt.
Then thread it through
the other belt path
opening as shown.
Do not twist belt.
IMPORTANT!
If you will be using the
AutoLock:
Do not pull the vehicle belt
all the way out to lock it
BEFORE routing the belt.
This will make threading the
shoulder belt into the AutoLock
easier.
If you will not be using the
AutoLock:

vehicle owner’s manual to
determine what kind of vehicle
belt you have and how to lock
a child restraint in place.

After the seat has been
installed, if your car has a
switchable retractor, you may
also use it to lock the belt.
Review pages 19-22 and
your vehicle owner’s manual
to determine how to lock the
belt with the retractor.
Check the tightness of the
install often to make sure it
has not loosened.
Securing Child in
Car Seat
To properly secure your
child in the car seat, see
pages 54-56.
Check your child’s fit often
and make any needed
adjustments to the car seat
as they grow.
Recheck Rear-Facing
Recline Angle Indicator
Make sure the angle
indicator ball is in the
blue zone.
Redo the installation if not
reclined correctly.
NOTE: You may need to place
a tightly rolled towel(s) or
