Belt Combination
Pull the seat pad off of the front of the child restraint.
Route the vehicle seat belt through the rear-facing
belt path C, continue through the opposite opening
of the child restraint. Fasten the vehicle seat belt, as
shown, depending on your type of seat belt.
Note: You MUST use a locking clip with lap/shoulder
seat belt combinations that have a buckle tongue that
slides freely along the belt without locking into place.
To install a locking clip, refer to p. 35.

The seat belt must be as tight as possible.
Put your full weight into the child restraint as you
tighten the seat belt D .
Check your work. If you can move the child restraint
more than 1 in. (25 mm) forward or side-to-side at the
belt path C, the seat belt is not tight enough, and you
MUST try again.
If vehicle seat belts are not routed and fastened correctly,
the child restraint may not protect your child in a crash.
DO NOT use this child restraint if it moves more than
1 in. (25 mm) forward or side-to-side at the vehicle
belt path. Serious injury or death may result from poor
installation. If you can not tightly secure the child
restraint, try again or move it to another location.
WARNING
Make sure that the harness
straps are in one of the three
lower harness positions A.
The harness straps must start
at or below shoulder height,
using the strap slots closest
to your child’s shoulders B,
as shown.
Infants MUST always ride facing the rear of the
vehicle. The back of the child restraint supports and
protects the baby and absorbs crash forces.
Adjust the child restraint to the Recline position (p. 16).
Place the child restraint in your vehicle rear-facing.
NEVER turn a child restraint
forward-facing with an infant
weighing less than 20 lbs (9 kg)
or less than one year of age.
Crash forces may cause serious
injury or death.
