Lap-Shoulder Belt Installation

Figure A illustrates a typical rear facing
lap-shoulder belt installation.
When not in use, always store the LATCH
•
connectors in storage pouches sewn in
cover above rear facing lock-offs.
Place the child restraint rear facing and in
1
full recline position on the vehicle seat.
2
Open rear facing lock-off farthest from
where the vehicle belt will be buckled.
Pull the vehicle belt out, then pass it
3
through the first rear facing belt slot ( Fig. B ).
The vehicle belt can be routed over or
•
under the cover.
Route vehicle belt behind and under
4
the buckle strap, then through the
second rear facing belt slot.
Verify that the vehicle belt is not
5
twisted, then buckle ( Fig. C ).

Position both sections of vehicle belt
through the rear facing lock-off farthest
from vehicle buckle, then close lock-off arm
( Fig. E ).
•
Lock-off is properly closed when a positive
click is heard.
•
To prevent breakage, never bend the lock-
off arm up or down.
Verify that the vehicle belt is tight and
8
the child restraint is stable.
NOTE:
•
The back angle of the child restraint
should not exceed 45º when properly
installed in the rear facing position.
•
Installation can be improved by the
use of the Versa-Tether
®
23–25 ). The recline angle can be
adjusted by tightening the tether as
described on page 24, using anchor
point 3.
•
If there is a problem stabilizing the child restraint, place a rolled
towel in the crease of the vehicle seat to help level the child
restraint base.
WARNING:
DO NOT raise the base beyond horizontal or off of the
vehicle seat; doing so will reduce the protection for the child.
Removal
Release the tether, if used, then reverse the above directions.
