General Information

WARNING:
• Install forward-facing only.
• Do not use anything to raise the child seat off of the vehicle seat.
• When using the LATCH connectors you must also use the top tether. If LATCH
anchors are not available, you must use vehicle belt installation methods. The
child seat is shipped prepared for use in harness mode with the exeption of
the recline block position. Refer to your vehicle owner's manual or contact the
vehicle manufacturer for the maximum weight rating for the LATCH anchors
in your vehicle. Use the vehicle belt (not LATCH connectors) for installations
with children who weigh more than the vehicle LATCH anchor limit. Unless
specified otherwise by the vehicle manufacturer, assume a 40 pound (18.1 kg)
child is the vehicle LATCH anchor limit.
• Always use the Versa-Tether for children weighing 65 – 80 lbs (29.5 –
36.3 kg) in harness mode.
• Long belt path is only for use with a lap-shoulder belt. Never use the long belt
path option with LATCH or a lap belt.
Harness Mode
NOTE: This seat is shipped with the recline block in booster mode.
IMPORTANT:
• This child seat can be installed using LATCH, a lap-shoulder belt, or a lap belt only.
• The recline block must be
rotated to the front when
installing the child seat in
harness mode.
• Based upon your vehicle's
seat belt configuration, you
may achieve a more secure
installation using one of two
approved lap-shoulder belt
path options (long belt path
or short belt path). If the first
installation method results in more than 1" (2.5 cm) of front-to-back or side-
to-side movement at the belt path, then try the other option. See page 24 for
information on selecting a belt path to install this child seat in your vehicle.
