Lap-Shoulder Belt Installation

WARNING!
• Only raise the base as described in these instructions. Do not use
anything to raise the base of the infant car seat off the front edge of the
vehicle seat. In a crash, this could cause the infant car seat not to perform
as intended.
• For lap-shoulder belt installation, the base must be secured in the vehicle
before attaching the occupied infant car seat.
• Use either the LATCH system or a vehicle belt method to install this child
seat. Using both is not approved and may cause the child seat not to
perform as intended.
• Place the base in the desired
location on the vehicle seat
and open the upper and lower
portions of the lock-off.
• Pull the vehicle seat belt out.
• Ensure that the vehicle seat
belt is not twisted and then
route the vehicle belt under
and through the first belt
guide, through the open
lock-off and down through the
second belt guide.
• Buckle the vehicle seat belt.

• Press the base firmly into the
vehicle seat while removing all
slack from first the lap portion
and then the shoulder portion
of the vehicle seat belt.
• Hold the vehicle belt tight and
close the upper portion of the
lock-off.
• Press firmly on the upper
portion of the lock-off and
close the lower portion to
secure.

The base is secure when it moves less than 1 inch (2.5 cm)
front-to-back or side-to-side at the vehicle belt path.

indicator is visible between the two lines.
