Place Child Restraint
in the Back Seat Rear-
Facing
Move the front seats forward
to give you room to install the
child restraint.
For children between 5-22
lbs (2.3-10 kg), the top
level to ground line MUST be
level to the ground. Rotate
the child restraint to make the
line level.
For children 22-40 lbs
(10.1-18 kg) and can sit
up unassisted,
rotate the
child restraint between the
2 level to ground lines.
Start
by making the bottom level to
ground line level, then rotate
seat up. DO NOT rotate past
the top most upright level to
ground line.
Adjust child restraint if
needed.
You may need to place a
large rolled towel(s) or foam
pool noodle(s) (A) under the
front of the child restraint
to help achieve the correct
recline. Check often to be
sure padding is still in place
and the vehicle belt is tight.
