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 fi x
all types of seat belt problems.
Refer to section D-4 to determine if your vehicle belts
require a locking clip.
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.
Using a Locking Clip
For children between
5-22 lbs (2.3-10 kg),
the
bottom level-to-ground line
MUST
be level with the
ground. Rotate the child
restraint to make the line
level.
For children 22-40 lbs
(10.1-18 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.
You may need to place a
large rolled towel(s) or foam
pool noodle(s)
(A)
under the
front of the child restraint
to help achieve the correct
recline. Check often to be
sure padding is still in place
and the belt is tight.
Thread Vehicle Belt
Thread the vehicle lap/
shoulder belt combination
through the rear-facing belt
path.

Place Child Restraint
in the Back Seat Rear
Facing

Attach the top
anchorage hook (tether) to
the storage location on back of child restraint.
