• If the belt still cannot be tightened, or if pulling and pushing on
the restraint loosens the belt, disconnect the latch plate from the
buckle, turn the buckle around, and insert the latch plate into the
buckle again. If you still cannot make the child restraint secure, try
a different seating position.
• Buckle the child into the restraint exactly as the manufacturer’s
instructions tell you.
• When your child restraint is not in use, secure it in the vehicle with
the seat belt or remove it from the vehicle. Do not leave it loose
in the vehicle. In a sudden stop or collision, it could strike the
occupants or seat backs and cause serious personal injury.
