3. Fasten the aircraft seat belt, then
remove all slack from the belt.
The aircraft seat belt must be as tight as possible.
Route the excess aircraft seat belt strap back through
the belt path opening. Using your full weight, push
the child restraint firmly onto the aircraft seat while
pulling on the excess seat belt strap to tighten.
NOTE: Because of the fixed length of aircraft seat belts, the
belt buckle could be behind the child’s back after tightening
the belt. For your child’s comfort, Evenflo recommends
cushioning the child’s back by placing a small pillow or
folded-up blanket, or a folded-up jacket, over the belt buckle.
Check your work: Reconnect the seat pad to the front
of the child restraint. Try to move the child restraint in
all directions. If you can move the restraint more than
2.5 cm (1 in) from side-to-side or front to back at the
belt path, the aircraft seat belt is not tight enough,
and you MUST install again until the seat belt is tight.
