Position both sections of vehicle belt
through the rear facing lock-off
farthest from vehicle buckle, then
close lock-off arm (Fig. E).

Lock-off is properly closed when a
positive click is heard.
•
To prevent breakage, never bend the lock-
off arm up or down.
8
Verify that the vehicle belt is tight and
the child restraint is stable.
•
Installation can be improved by the use of
®
the Versa-Tether
(see pages 23–25).
NOTE:
•
The back angle of the child restraint
should not exceed 45º when
properly installed in the rear facing
position.
•
If there is a problem stabilizing the child
restraint, place a rolled towel in the
crease of the vehicle seat to help level
the child restraint base.
WARNING:
Only raise restraint as described above. Do not raise the
restraint off of the front edge of vehicle seat; doing so will reduce
the protection for your child.
