Rear-Facing Installation

Place the child seat on the
1
vehicle seat.
Firmly press the lower
2
connectors onto the adjacent
lower anchors.
• A click confirms attachment.
• Verify that the lower connector
strap is not twisted.
TIP:
You may need to turn the front
of the child seat toward you
for easier access to the lower
anchors.
NOTE: If a click is not heard when
connecting either lower connector,
the lower connector strap may be
twisted, or there may be debris in
the lower connector. Correct either
situation before continuing with the
installation process.
Push the child seat into the
3
vehicle seat while pulling
each lower connector strap to
tighten.
Rear-facing installations can
