Installation: Rear-Facing
7
Position the vehicle belt through the
rear-facing lock-off farthest from the
vehicle buckle, then close lock-off arm
(
Fig. D)
.
•
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.
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 the tether, if used, then reverse the above directions.
