technicians recommend keeping children Rear-Facing for as long as
possible. The switch to Forward-Facing will depend on your child’s age and
size. Consult the “Usage Recommendations” section.
4. Install your Toddler Car Seat with your Orbit Base or
with the Braces. Only use your Toddler Car Seat on
an Orbit Base Rear-Facing, and on an Orbit Base with a
Green Circular Seal (shown at right) on its Center Label.
When using the Orbit Base, have the Base manual handy
for instructions about Base installation. (The Orbit Base
manual can also be stored with this one inside the Rear
Access Panel, at the rear of the Toddler Car Seat.)
5. Ensure that the Toddler Car Seat is level. Level Indicators show whether
the Toddler Car Seat is properly reclined. The recline can be adjusted, both
when using the Orbit Base or the Braces. A carseat that is too reclined can
result in injury or ejections, and a carseat that is too upright can result in
breathing difculties.
6. Check the security of the Toddler Car Seat by pulling in several different
directions after installation. The Toddler Car Seat should not move more than
1 inch (1”) in any direction once installed. ( Note: The Toddler Car Seat must
be locked in Rear-Facing position when using on the Orbit Base.)
7. Secure your child. The sections in “Securing Your Child” provide you with
instructions to secure and adjust the Restraint Harness to the proper t for
No child restraint system can guarantee protection from injury in every situation.
However, proper use of the Orbit Toddler Car Seat reduces the risk of serious
injury or death to your child. Your child’s safety depends on you installing and
using this child restraint system correctly every time. This instruction manual
guides you in detail through the following steps:
1. Register your Toddler Car Seat and take note of the Expiration Date.
Orbit Baby will help you keep track of safety updates and product recalls
when you register with us.
2. Learn How to Use the Toddler Car Seat. The Toddler Car Seat can be used
in three congurations:
a) Rear-Facing on the Orbit Base,
b) Rear-Facing with the Braces (without the Orbit Base), or
c) Forward-Facing with the Braces (without the Orbit Base).
The best choice for your child’s safety depends on your child’s weight and
height: review the “Usage Recommendations” section of this manual.
3. Select a seating location in your car. An important overview of vehicle
seating locations is in the “Usage Recommendations” section. There you can
nd information about air bags and different types of vehicle seat belts. The
Toddler Car Seat can be installed using either the LATCH System or vehicle
seat belts.
Note: According to accident statistics, children have less chance of
injury when properly restrained in rear vehicle seats. In addition, safety
