Rear Facing
Lap-Shoulder Belt Installation
• Figure A illustrates a typical rear facing
lap-shoulder belt installation.
• When not in use, always store the LATCH
connectors in storage pouches sewn in
cover above rear facing lock-offs.
1 Place the child restraint rear facing and
in full recline position on the vehicle
seat.
2 Open rear facing lock-off farthest from
where the vehicle belt will be buckled.
3 Pull the vehicle belt out, then pass it through
the first rear facing belt slot (Fig. B).
• The vehicle belt can be routed over or
under the cover.
4 Route vehicle belt behind and under
the buckle strap, then through the
second rear facing belt slot.
5 Verify that the vehicle belt is not
twisted, then buckle (Fig. C).
6 Push the restraint firmly into the seat
while removing slack from the lap
portion of the vehicle belt, then the
shoulder portion (Fig. D).
7 Position both sections of vehicle belt
through the rear facing lock-off
farthest from vehicle buckle, then
close lock-off arm (Fig. E).
• Lock-off is properly closed when a
positive click is heard.
• To prevent breakage, never bend the lock-
off arm up or down.
8 Verify that the vehicle belt is tight and
the child restraint is stable.
• Installation can be improved by the use of
the Versa-Tether
® (see pages 23–25).
NOTE:
• The back angle of the child restraint
should not exceed 45º when
properly installed in the rear facing
position.
• If there is a problem stabilizing the child
restraint, place a rolled towel in the
crease of the vehicle seat to help level
the child restraint base.
WARNING: Only raise restraint as described above. Do not raise the
restraint off of the front edge of vehicle seat; doing so will reduce
the protection for your child.
