Evenflo Discovery 5 - Securing the Child in the Carrier

The seat belt E must be as tight as possible. Put your
full weight into the seat as you tighten the seat belt.
Make sure the seat belt is tight. If you can move
the child restraint more than 1 in. (25 mm) forward or
side-to-side at the belt path, the seat belt is not tight
enough, and you need to try again.
• NEVER use this child restraint in the forward-facing
position.
• DO NOT use this child restraint if it moves more than
1 in. (25 mm) forward or side-to-side at the seat belt
path. Serious injury or death may occur. Move the
child restraint to another seating location, or try to
tighten the seat belt again.
WARNING
Push down on
the bottom of the
seat using your
full weight.

If the level line A is not level
to the ground, use a tightly
rolled towel or small blanket F
beneath the front edge of the
child restraint. You need to provide enough recline for
an infant’s head to lie back comfortably.
IMPORTANT: Infants may have difficulty breathing when
in a sitting position. Make sure they recline enough for
their head to lie back comfortably and safely. Failure to
properly recline the child restraint could increase the child’
s
risk of serious injury or death.

Place the baby into the carrier. Baby’s bottom and back
should be flat against the seat. If there is a gap, baby will
not be comfortable.
Slide each harness strap A
over the child’s shoulders.
Insert the buckle tongues B
into the buckle. Pull up on
the harness strap to ensure
the buckle tongues are
engaged.
IMPORTANT: The buckle strap should be snug against the
baby’s crotch, but never under the baby’s bottom. Adjust
the crotch strap if necessary (p. 32).
