NOTE: The information in this section only
applies to installation with vehicle seat belts.
If using LATCH, this section should be
ignored.
IMPORTANT: Some vehicles have no seat-
ing positions which are compatible with this
child restraint, or any other child restraint. If
in doubt, contact your vehicle manufacturer
for assistance.
The following types of vehicle seat belts are
not compatible with this child restraint:
Front seat belts with top or bottom
anchorage points in the door.
Motor driven automatic seat belts.
Three-point belts that have separate
retractors for the shoulder section and
the lap section.
Non-locking (ELR) two-point seat belts.
The owner's manual for your vehicle will have information on the types of
seat belts in your vehicle. If your belt type is listed above, select another
seating position. This child restraint will work with rear seat three-point
seat belts with a sliding latch plate, and with rear seat three-point seat belts
that are specifically marked as appropriate for child restraints. The middle
rear seat of most vehicles has a lap belt which most often will work.
This child restraint can fit securely in most vehicles using the existing seat
belts. However, some types of vehicle designs prevent a secure fit of the
child restraint due to the position of the seat belt lower anchorage points.

Use this simple guide to check your seat belts and determine the
safest position for your child restraint.
Use the gray shaded area on the side of this page to determine the
best position for the child restraint. Hold the page against your vehi-
cle seat (as shown above), with the gray area toward the back of the
seat. Now check to see if the lower seat belt anchorage points are in
line with the gray or the red area of this page.
If the lower seat belt anchorage points are in the gray area, you
can use this position for your child restraint.
If the lower seat belt anchorage points are in the red area, you
should use another position for your child restraint.
NOTE: Although the seat belt anchorage points fall within the gray
area, a better installation may be achieved by adjusting your child
restraint to a reclining position.
