2. Select a seating location in your car. An important overview of vehicle
seating locations is in the “Usage Recommendations” sections of this
manual. There you can fi nd information about air bags and different types of
vehicle seatbelts.
Note: According to accident statistics, children have less chance of injury
when properly restrained in rear vehicle seats.
3. Proper Installation. Properly secure the Orbit Base in the vehicle using the
attached LATCH Belt or by using a vehicle seat belt designed to secure a
child restraint system. Instructions can be found in the blue “Installing Your
Orbit Base” section. Have the manual handy when using your Orbit carseat
(either the Orbit Infant Car Seat or the Orbit Toddler Car Seat).
4. Ensure the Orbit Base is level. Level indicators show whether the Orbit
Base is properly leveled. The Orbit Base should not move more than 1 inch
(1”) in any direction once installed.
5. Properly dock your Orbit carseat into the Base. Follow the instruction
manual provided with your Orbit carseat (either the Orbit Infant Car Seat
or the Orbit Toddler Car Seat) for instructions on this step. Ensure that the
carseat is properly locked and facing in the correct direction. CLICK AND CHECK: When using the Orbit Base, always pay attention
to the CLICK (through sound and feel) that says you’ve successfully
completed a step. Then, always immediately follow up with a CHECK
by tugging or pulling what you just clicked into place.
Note: Safety technicians recommend keeping children Rear-Facing for as
long as possible. The switch to Forward-Facing will depend on your child’s
age and size. Consult your Orbit carseat manual.
6. Secure your child. Consult the Orbit carseat manual to fi nd instructions
about adjusting the restraint harness to fi t your child and securing your child
into the carseat.
7. Check the security of the Orbit carseat. After your Orbit carseat is docked
on the Base, it should not move more than one inch (1”) in any direction once
installed.
8. Maintenance and Cleaning. The last section of this manual provides
instructions on how to clean your Orbit Base, as well as the limited customer
warranty.
