Lap Belt Installation
• Figure A illustrates a typical rear facing lap
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 closest rear facing belt slot
(Fig. B).
• The vehicle belt can be routed over or
under the restraint cover.
4 Route vehicle belt behind and under
the buckle strap, then through the
second rear facing belt slot.

7 Position the vehicle belt through the
rear facing lock-off farthest from the
vehicle buckle, then close lock-off arm
(Fig. D).
• 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.
