Installing the Car Seat Base and Car Seat

Before you install the car seat in your
vehicle, make sure the vehicle is parked on
level ground.

1. If the vehicle seat back is adjustable,

lock the vehicle seat back into the
upright position.

2. Place the car seat rear-facing on the

vehicle seat (Photo A).

3. The bottom edge of the car seat should

be between 10 degrees tipped back
and horizontal after installation. A
towel underneath one end of the car
seat may be required to accomplish
this (Photo B). The bottom edge of the
car seat MUST not be tipped forward.

4. Thread the vehicle seat belt through

both carry handles (Photo C) and
buckle the vehicle seat belt.

If using a lap-shoulder vehicle belt to
secure the car seat, continue to Step 5. If
using a vehicle lap belt, skip to Step 11.

Without the Car Seat Base

If using a lap-shoulder vehicle belt:

5. While pressing down upon the car seat,

pull on the shoulder portion of the belt
to tighten the lap portion of the belt
around the car seat (Photo D).

6. While holding the shoulder portion

of the belt tight, slip both belts into
the belt clip nearest the center of the
vehicle (Photo E). Make sure the belts
cannot slip relative to each other by
pulling back and forth on the car seat.

7. On the other side of the car seat, slip

the lap portion of the vehicle seat belt
into the other belt clip (Photo F).

CHECK that the car seat is at the
proper angle. The bottom edge of
the car seat should be between 10
degrees tipped back and horizontal
after installation. If the bottom edge is
tipped forward, remove and re-install
the car seat, using towels to make the
car seat level.
