Safety 1st Alpha Omega Elite - Manual (Page 18)

Place Child Restraint in
Vehicle Rear-Facing
With child restraint in the
most reclined position,
place child restraint in the
back seat.
Check for proper recline.
NOTE: Store top anchorage
hook (tether) on the base.
See section E-1.
For children between 5-22 lbs (2.3-10 kg), the bottom
level to ground line MUST be level to the ground.
For children 22-35 lbs
(10.1-16 kg) and can sit
up unassisted, rotate the
child restraint between the
2 level to ground lines. Start
by making the bottom level to
ground line level, then rotate
seat up. DO NOT rotate past
the top most upright level to
ground line.
Adjust child restraint if
needed.
You may need to place a
large rolled towel(s) or foam
pool noodle(s) (A) under the
front of the child restraint
to help achieve the correct
recline. Check often to be
sure padding is still in place
and the LATCH belt is tight.
D. General Vehicle Installation
• Switchable retractor
These belts switch from ELR to ALR (Automatic Locking
Retractor). You must have the vehicle belts in the locking
mode to use them. Follow the instructions in the
installation sections.
• ALR (Automatic Locking Retractor)
These belts lock after pulling the webbing out and letting the
belt go back into the retractor an inch or two. Follow the
instructions in the installation sections.
Vehicle Latch Plates
• Check the Latch Plates
Grasp the tongue portion
of the latch plate (the part
that goes inside the buckle)
and pull straight out, inline
with the lap belt. If the latch
plate does not slide up and
down the vehicle belt, you
have a locking latch plate.
You should not need to use
a locking clip. Consult your
vehicle owner’s manual.
If the latch plate slides up and down on the belt, and you have
an ELR retractor, you MUST use a locking clip to install the
child restraint. You may not need to use the locking clip with
a switchable or ALR retractor. Consult your vehicle owner’s
manual.

A locking clip will not fix all types of seat belt problems.
Review section D-4 and your vehicle’s owner manual for
vehicle seat belt use with child restraints.
The locking clip is
located on the back of the seat.
Directions below describe installing the child restraint rear-
facing. Same steps apply for forward-facing, except install
the restraint forward-facing and thread the vehicle belt in the
forward-facing belt path.
