Harness Mode: Lap-Shoulder Belt - Britax PIONEER User Manual

Installing the Child Seat: Harness Mode
Lap-Shoulder Belt
Before you begin:
• Check that your vehicle has a seat belt that can be locked.
Check your vehicle owner's manual to determine what
*
type of vehicle belt you have and how it can be locked
for use with child seats. If your vehicle belt does not lock,
a locking clip must be used. Call BRITAX Consumer
Services at 1-888-427-4829 or 1-704-409-1699 to obtain
a locking clip.
• Check that your vehicle has a top tether anchor.
The top tether must be used in harness mode for
*
children that weigh more than 65 lbs (29.5 kg). BRITAX
recommends that the top tether be used at all times
when installing the child seat. Using the top tether will
improve the stability of your child seat and reduce the
risk of injury. Check your vehicle owner's manual for
tether anchor locations.
• Loosen the tether and place it over the child seat back to
keep it from becoming pinned between the child seat and
vehicle seat during installation.
• Adjust the child seat to desired position and place forward
facing on the vehicle seat.
