Graco 8402L04 - SnugRide Infant Car Seat Base User Manual page 2

Installing the Base Using Vehicle Belt
1. Place the base in a rear-facing position in a forward-facing
vehicle seat .
2. Thread the vehicle seat belt through the openings
in the base . Buckle the seat belt.
The seat belt should not be twisted.
3. Tighten the vehicle seat belt. Refer to your vehicle owners
manual and the instructions in your infant restraint owner's manual
on tightening your vehicle belt
4. Push the infant restraint down into the base and make sure
that you hear a "click". Pull up on the infant restraint to be sure it
is latched securely into base.
If the infant restraint does not securely latch into the base,
the infant restraint provides NO protection for your child.
DO NOT use the infant restraint/base if the infant
restraint does not securely latch onto base
Final Safety Check: Every time you drive with your child,
Push down on the top of the infant restraint slowly but firmly to make sure the vehicle
belt does not lengthen at all and that the vehicle belt or LATCH is fastened very
tightly around the infant restraint/base.
Holding the infant restraint near the vehicle belt path, twist and pull the seat forward
and to both sides to make sure the vehicle belt or LATCH does not lengthen or
loosen and the infant restraint does not easily move.
After placing your child in the infant restraint, recheck the level indicator on the side of
the infant restraint. The level indicator should show ONLY blue—if you still see
orange, re-adjust the recline.
