Using Lower Universal Anchorage System (LUAS)
LUAS is a system available on this child seat that offers an alternative to vehicle seat
belt installation methods. See pages 10 and 11 for LUAS components on this child seat.
The figure above shows typical locations for lower anchors and tether anchors in a
vehicle. Check your vehicle owner’s manual to learn if it is equipped with LUAS, the
maximum weight rating for the lower anchors, and for information on the lower anchor
locations and seating positions available for use with this child seat.
Standard vehicle seat spacing between LUAS anchors is 27.9 cm (11 in.). This child
seat can be used in a seating position with up to 50.8 cm (20 in.) of space between the
LUAS anchors if the vehicle manufacturer allows.

• Verify that your vehicle is equipped with LUAS. If
LUAS is not available, you must use vehicle belt
installation methods.
• The lower connectors must be in an upright position
and the strap should be tight and not twisted to
ensure proper installation.
