d-facing Installation

If using a lap vehicle belt:

12. Position the lap belt through the

forward-facing belt path openings in the
shell and fully open both arms of the red
belt lock-off clamp that will be closest
to the center of the vehicle in the final
installation (Photo M).

NOTE: If installing the seat in the
center position, open both arms of
either lock-off clamp. Only one clamp
is needed for a secure installation.

13. Tighten the vehicle belt around the car

seat by pushing down on alternating
sides of the car seat rim while pulling
on the loose end of the lap belt to
remove all of the slack (Photo N).

14. Ensure that the belt is centered in the

clamp. Push down both arms of the
open red clamp firmly until it locks
(Listen for a

CLICK). Pushing down on

the clamp arm with the Orbit logo will
make it easier to lock the red arm of the
clamp in place.

15. Check the seat for a tight installation.

You know that you have reached the
optimal tightness when you tug on the
car seat at the belt path (Photo O) and
the car seat does not move more than 1
in (2.5 cm) in any direction.

If the car seat is loose, remove and re-
install the car seat beginning at Step 4.

16. Lap-shoulder vehicle belt systems in

some vehicles have an Automatic Locking
Mode, which locks the shoulder portion
of the belt and keeps it from becoming
a strangulation hazard to older children
or siblings. Orbit Baby recommends
engaging this mode by pulling the shoulder
portion of the belt out completely from the
vehicle, then letting go. You should hear a
soft clicking sound as you allow the belt to
retract back into the vehicle. Check that
you are in the locking mode by tugging
on the shoulder portion of the belt and
verifying that it doesn’t extend.

17. Close the upper upholstery panel and

install the top tether: See pages 87-88.
