Locking Clip
You will rarely need to use a locking clip except in some older
vehicles. Built in child restraint locking systems have been
required in vehicles since 1996, and many vehicles had these
features even earlier.
Check your vehicle owner’s manual to learn how to use the
systems in your vehicle. If you need a locking clip, return to the
store where you purchased this child restraint to purchase a
locking clip or call us at 1-800-544-1108 to order one.
Locking clips from any child restraint manufacturer are okay to
use.
Remove the locking clip when the vehicle seat belt is not being
used with the child restraint. A locking clip will not fix all types of
seat belt problems.
You do not need a locking clip when using this seat as a belt-
positioning booster.
The following directions describe installing the child restraint
rear-facing. Same steps apply for forward facing, except install
the restraint forward facing and thread the vehicle belt in the
forward-facing belt path.
continued on next page.
Place child restraint in
vehicle seat rear-facing.
NOTE:
Attach the tether
hook to the bottom of the
base. Tighten to remove
slack. See “Adjusting the Top
Anchorage Strap” section.
For children between
5-22 lbs (2.3-10 kg), the
bottom level to ground
line MUST be level to the
ground.
For children 22-35 lbs
(10.1-16 kg) and can sit up
unassisted, rotate the child restraint between the 2 level to
ground lines. Start by making the bottom level to ground line
level, then rotate seat up. Do Not rotate past the top most
upright level to ground line.
Adjust child restraint if needed.

Check the Latch Plates
Latch plates are the part of
the seat belt that goes into the
buckle.
Hold the lap belt with one hand
and with your other hand grasp the
tongue of the latch plate (the part
that goes inside the buckle). Pull
the latch plate straight out in line
with the lap belt.
If the latch plate does not slide up
and down the vehicle belt, it is a
locking latch plate
.
If the latch plate slides up and
down the vehicle belt, it is a
sliding
latch plate
.
Sliding latch plates easily slip
between the lap and shoulder por-
tions of the belt.
If you have an Emergency Lock-
ing Retractor with a Sliding Latch
Plate, you
MUST
use a locking clip
to install the child restraint. See
pages 20-21.
