Do not use the LATCH system along with the
vehicle lap or lap/shoulder belt. Secure LATCH
belts when using the vehicle belts.
Check the vehicle belt before each use. Use only
if the belt is tightened properly and securely.
Attach the top anchorage hook (tether) to the
base when used rear-facing.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in
serious injury or death.
Fully Recline and Place
Child Restraint in the
Back Seat Rear-Facing
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.
Note: Review your vehicle’s owner manual for vehicle belt
use.
