INSTALL WITHOUT BASE SETUP
Infants may have difficulty breathing when in a sitting position. Make sure the seat
is reclined properly so that your child's head does not fall forward. Failure to properly
recline the Child Restraint could increase the child's risk of serious injury or death.
NEVER install Child Restraint without Base using a non-locking vehicle belt. The installation
will NOT be secure. Refer to your vehicle owner's manual for detailed vehicle belt information.
See page 16 for "Vehicle Seating Positions" before installing. Make sure
1
the vehicle is on a level surface. Place Child Restraint on selected vehicle
seat with child properly secured in Child Restraint (See securing your child
L EVEL
on page 66) . Make sure it is not blocking the vehicle seat belt buckle.
2
Position Child Restraint so that the Level Line (located on the seat label) is LEVEL with
the ground.
3
If needed, use a rolled up towel to help level the Child Restraint properly.
