Lift the child seat cover and open rear-facing 2
lock-off farthest from where the vehicle belt
will be buckled (Fig. B).
Pull the vehicle belt out and pass it through 3
the rear-facing belt slot (Fig. C).
The vehicle belt can be routed over or under the child •
seat cover.
Route the vehicle belt across the child seat then 4
through the opposite rear-facing belt slot.
IMPORTANT: The vehicle belt must rest behind
the child seat buckle strap.
Verify that the vehicle belt is not twisted, 5
position belt through the open lock-off, then
buckle (Fig. D).
Push the child seat firmly into the vehicle seat 6
while removing slack from the vehicle belt.
Tighten the belt, close the lock-off arm (Fig. 7
F), and replace the cover.
The lock-off is properly closed when a positive click is heard. •
To prevent breakage, never extend the lock-off arm •
beyond its normal open position and always keep
lock-off closed when not in use.
If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic locking •
retractor (ALR), use of the lock-offs is not required as
long as the ALR is locked. Check your vehicle owner’s
manual to determine the type of retractor your vehicle
has and how to lock the retractor.
Verify that the vehicle belt is tight, locked, 8
and that the child seat is secure.
The child seat is secure when it cannot be •
moved more than 2.5 cm (1 inch) front-
to-back or side-to-side at the belt path. If the child seat is not
secure, repeat the procedure or use an alternate seating location.
When properly installed in the rear-facing position, the back angle of the •
child seat should be 30º – 45º from vertical (not to exceed 45º) when the
car is parked on a level surface (Fig. F).
If necessary, the proper recline angle can be achieved by placing a rolled •
towel or pool noodle in the crease of the vehicle seat to level the child
seat’s base.
Rear-facing installation can be improved by the use of the Versa-Tether. •
See pages 25 – 27.
Lap-Belt Installation
Figure A illustrates a typical rear-facing, lap-belt •
installation.
When not in use, always store the LCS connectors in •
storage slots. See page 28.
Fully recline the child seat and place it rear- 1
facing on the vehicle seat.
