From the back, use a
screwdriver to press in on
lip of upper harness guides
and pop guides through the
front. Pull cover off
headrest.

Clean with warm sudsy
water, rinse clean and air
dry. Do not use bleach or
use other harsh cleaners.

Pull pad off the top of seat
and off of headrest.

Pull pad out from under
buckle cover and work it
off the shell. Slip off
armrest pads.

Replace seat pad by reversing order; put pad on headrest
and replace upper harness guides. Starting from bottom
of child restraint, slip pad on shell; tuck in pad around
harness adjuster and over upper belt guides. Make sure
pad is under headrest and replace lower harness guides.
Rethread harness (see belt-positioning booster section).

If your child restraint is not held securely by the

belt:
Press down firmly on the child restraint and remove all the
slack in the belt. Make sure the belt buckle is not up against
the child restraint where the belt cannot be tightened.
Review Locking Clip section and Top Anchorage Strap
Section. If you cannot secure the child restraint tightly,
move it to another seating location.

If the child restraint buckle or harness

adjustment lever sticks or you cannot get the straps
tight enough around child:
DO NOT LUBRICATE. Check around lever and retractor
for dropped food, sticky spilled drinks, dirt, leaves, etc. Clean
with warm water and/or remove object with tweezers. If you
cannot get the harness to adjust and remain tight with the
buckle securely locked, do not use the child restraint.

If your harness twists or ropes: Straighten the

harness each time you put your child in the seat to help
prevent twisting. Lock the buckle and tighten harness and it
will be ready for next use.

If your infant sits too upright in the rear-facing

position: If your vehicle seat slopes so much that your
infant is sitting upright, you may place a rolled towel under
the front of the child restraint so that the level line on the
shoulder belt guide is level (horizontal). Check often to be
sure padding is still in place and the vehicle belt is tight.

WARNING

Using padding that tilts the base of the child
restraint farther back than the level-to-
ground line can result in serious injury or
death.
