7 Position one or 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 be adjusted to approximately
45º when properly installed.
•
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.
