ing to a different seating location. D. Switching to the lower anchor belt
installation if lower anchors are available in your vehicle.

Make sure the child restraint is
reclined according to your child’s
weight.
Repeat steps 1-7 if not reclined
correctly.
NOTE: You may need to place a
large rolled towel(s) or foam pool
noodle(s) under front of child re-

recline angle.
Check often to be sure padding is
still in place and the belt is tight.
