FINAL SAFETY CHECKS

1. If your child is already in the Infant Seat, check that the
harness is properly fitted and tight as instructed in the section
6.1, Securing your Child in the Infant Seat / Carrier.
2. Make sure that the Infant Seat is tightly installed and secure
in the vehicle by performing the following test every time you
use the Infant Seat. Firmly push down and side to side on
the head end of the Infant Seat to make sure that the vehicle
seat belt does not loosen at all and that the vehicle seat belt is
fastened very tightly around the Infant Seat / Base. If you find
that the vehicle seat belt loosens or that the seat easily moves
or rotates downward, please see section entitled Selecting the
Best Location for the Infant Seat to determine if the position
you have selected is adequate and check that you have
completed all of the steps in the section entitled Securing the
Infant Seat or Base in the Vehicle.
DO NOT use this seating location if the Infant Seat does not
remain tightly installed in the vehicle seat!
3. Place handle in mid storage or non-rocking position after
