Place child restraint in
vehicle seat rear-facing.
NOTE:
Hook top anchorage
hook (tether) on the base and
tighten. See “Adjusting the
Top Anchorage Strap” section.
For children between
5-22 lbs (2.3-10 kg), the
bottom level to ground
line MUST be level to the
ground.
For children 22-35 lbs
(10.1-16 kg) and can sit up
unassisted, rotate the child
restraint between the 2
level to ground lines. Start
by making the bottom level to ground line level, then rotate
seat up. Do Not rotate past the top most upright level to
ground line.
Adjust child restraint if needed.

Manual Belts
Manual lap belts are
common in the center
rear seat and can allow the
child restraint to loosen
when it is tilted or jarred.
After tightening the lap
belt securely, tilt and push
the child restraint forward
and to both sides. If no
loosening occurs, your child
restraint should be secure.
If loosening does occur, do
the following: If the latch
plate slides on the belt,
turn the latch plate over. If
the buckle slides, turn the
buckle. Refasten the vehicle
lap belt. The release button
should face
out
after
twisting so that it is easy to
reach in an emergency.
If the lap belt continues to
loosen, the child restraint
must be moved to another
location in the vehicle. A
locking clip will not correct
this problem; see your
vehicle owner’s manual.
Locking Clip
You will rarely need to use a locking clip except in some older
vehicles. Built in child restraint locking systems have been
required in vehicles since 1996, and many vehicles had these
features even earlier.
Check your vehicle owner’s manual to learn how to use the
systems in your vehicle. If you need a locking clip, return to the
store where you purchased this child restraint to purchase a
locking clip or call us at 1-800-544-1108 to order one.
Locking clips from any child restraint manufacturer are okay to
use.
Remove the locking clip when the vehicle seat belt is not being
used with the child restraint. A locking clip will not fix all types
of seat belt problems.
You do not need a locking clip when using this seat
as a belt-positioning booster.
Before you put your child restraint in the vehicle, buckle the
lap/shoulder belt. Pull on the lap belt portion. If it loosens or
slips, you must either use a locking clip to hold the seat belt
tight or move the child restraint to another seating location.
