Installing the Convenience Base
with the Vehicle Seat Belt
WARNING
1
• The carrier MUST be locked firmly into the con-
venience base. Check by lifting up on the carrier.
• NEVER use this child restraint in the forward-facing
position.
• DO NOT use this child restraint rear-facing in a vehicle
equipped with lap belts that only lock during a sudden
stop or crash (emergency locking retractor – ELR). You
must use a seating location with a locking seat belt.
Check your vehicle owner’s manual to see if you have
lap belts with ELR’s.
Before you begin, be sure the vehicle is
on a level surface.
The base is level when only green (no red) is
showing in the level indicator window.
If the indicator is red,
adjust the level of the base
by pressing adjustment
button and lowering
the adjustment foot .
The adjustment foot has
multiple levels, as indicated
in the window .

Using your full weight,
push the base firmly into
the vehicle seat, while
pulling up on the strap to
tighten.

Make sure the LATCH har-
ness is tight. Grab the base
at the areas , as shown.
If you can move the base
more than 25 mm (1 inch)
forward or side-to-side the
5
harness is not tight enough. You will need to try again,
or find another location for your convenience base.
IMPORTANT
Route any excess LATCH harness strap through the
openings , on the sides of the base, so it does not
interfere with the metal carrier retainers when
attaching the carrier.
WARNING
Place the base on the
vehicle seat and check the
level indicator .
