Installation: Rear-Facing
Lap-Belt Installation
• Figure A illustrates a rear-facing, lap-belt
installation.
• When not in use, always store the LATCH
connectors in the storage slots. See page 29.
1 Recline the child seat, then place it rear facing on
the vehicle seat. This child seat must be in the
recline position when installed rear-facing. See
Recline Adjustment on page 33.
2 Lift the cover and open the rear-facing lock-
off farthest from where the vehicle belt will be
buckled (Fig. B).
3 Pull the vehicle belt out, then pass it under the
LATCH bar and through the rear-facing belt slot
(Fig. C).
• The vehicle belt can be routed over or under
cover.
4 Route the vehicle belt across the child seat then
through the opposite rear-facing belt slot and
under the LATCH bar.
IMPORTANT: The vehicle belt must rest behind the
child seat buckle strap.
5 Verify that the vehicle belt is not twisted, position
the belt through the open lock-off, then buckle
(Fig. D).
6 Push the child seat firmly into the vehicle seat
while removing slack from the vehicle belt.
7 Tighten the belt, close the lock-off arm, and
replace the cover (Fig. E).
• The lock-off is properly closed when a click is
heard.
• To prevent damage, never extend the lock-off arm
beyond its normal open position and always keep
the lock-off closed when not in use.
