The Infant Car Seat can be secured in a
vehicle without the Base, using the Belt
Clips with acceptable vehicle seat belts
(read “Vehicle Seat Belts Overview” on
page 21).
1. If the vehicle seat back is
adjustable, lock the seat back in the
normal upright position.
2. Place the Infant Car Seat rear-
facing.
3. The bottom edge of the Infant Car
Seat MUST be horizontal after
installation. A towel underneath
one end of the Infant Car Seat may
be required to accomplish this
(Photo A).
4. Thread the vehicle seat belt through
both Side Handles and buckle the
vehicle seat belt (Photo B).

WARNING
!
Improper placement of the Infant Car Seat increases
the risk of serious injury and death
The Infant Car Seat, on its own, can fi t securely in most vehicles
using existing vehicle seat belts. However, some vehicle belt
systems are not acceptable to use with any child restraint systems.
If the vehicle seat belt does not remain tight or the Infant Car Seat
can move more than 1” in any direction, your child could be seriously
injured in a sharp turn, sudden stop, or crash. Move the Infant Car
Seat to another seating location and try again. If in doubt, refer to the
vehicle owner’s manual for specifi c instructions regarding child restraint
use.
When installing the Infant Car Seat without the Base, use the Belt
Clips. Failure to use the Belt Clips where required will result in the
Infant Car Seat not being securely held in place.
