1.
If your child restraint is not held securely
by the belt:
Press down firmly on the child restraint and remove all the
slack in the belt. Make sure the belt buckle is not up against
the child restraint where the belt cannot be tightened.
Review “Locking Clip” and “Adjusting the Top Anchorage
Strap” sections. If you cannot secure the child restraint
tightly, move it to another seating location.
2.
If the child restraint buckle or harness
adjustment lever sticks or you cannot get the straps
tight enough around child:
DO NOT LUBRICATE. Check around buckle and harness
release lever for dropped food, sticky spilled drinks, dirt,
leaves, etc. Clean with warm water and/or remove object
with tweezers. If you cannot get the harness to adjust and
remain tight with the buckle securely locked, do not use the
child restraint.
3.
If your harness twists or ropes:
Straighten the harness each time you put your child in the
seat to help prevent twisting. Lock the buckle and tighten
harness and it will be ready for next use.
4.
If your infant sits too upright in the rear-facing
position:
If your vehicle seat slopes so
much that your infant is sitting
upright, you may place a rolled
towel under the front of the child
restraint so that the level line on
the shoulder belt positioning
guide is level (horizontal). Check
often to be sure padding is still in
place and the vehicle belt is tight.
WARNING
Using padding that tilts the base of the child
restraint farther back than the level-to-
ground line can result in serious injury or
death.
