LATCH 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 LATCH 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 methods to install this child
seat. Using both is not approved and may cause the child seat not to
perform as intended.
• Verify that your vehicle
is equipped with LATCH
anchors.
• Remove LATCH connectors
from the storage slots on the
base by pressing the red
button and pulling outward.
• Press and hold the LATCH
adjuster release button and
pull to lengthen the strap.

• Place the base in the desired
location on the seat and press
the LATCH connectors onto
the adjacent vehicle anchors
until a click is heard.
NOTE: Pull the LATCH connector to
verify that it is secure.
• While pressing the base
down into the seat, pull up on
the LATCH adjuster strap to
tighten.
• Open the two portions of the
lock-off and route the excess
LATCH strap webbing through.
• Close the top portion and then
the bottom portion of the lock-
off to secure excess webbing.
NOTE: Excess webbing can interfere
with the infant car seat connecting
correctly with the base. Excess webbing
should always be stored.
• Verify that the LATCH strap is tight and that the base is 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.
• The base is level when the green marker on each level
indicator is visible between the two lines.
