Installation: Rear-Facing
11
8 Push the child restraint firmly into the
vehicle seat while pulling each LATCH
harness tight (Fig. D).
9 Verify that all connections are secure
and the restraint is stable.
NOTE:
•
The back angle of the child restraint
should not exceed 45º when properly
installed in the rear-facing position.
•
Installation can be improved by the
use of the Versa-Tether
®
(see pages 23–25). The recline angle
can be adjusted by tightening the tether as described on page
24, using anchor point 3.
•
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:
DO NOT raise the base beyond horizontal or off of the
vehicle seat; doing so will reduce the protection for the child.
Removal
•
Release each LATCH harness from the LATCH anchor by
pressing the red release button on the LATCH connector.
•
If connected, disconnect the Versa-Tether
®
from the tether
anchor.
•
When not in use, always store the LATCH connectors in
storage pouches
sewn in cover above rear-facing lock-offs.
